DECLARATIONS OF INTERESTFile No: Governance/Councillors/Declarations of InterestA GUIDE TO ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING(Provided by the Independent Commission Against Corruption) Is the decision or conduct legal?Is it consistent with Government policy, Council’s objectives and code of conduct?What will the outcome be for you, your colleagues, the Council, anyone else?Does it raise a conflict of interest?Do you stand to gain personally at public expense?Can the decision be justified in terms of public interest?Would it withstand public scrutiny?A conflict of interest is a clash between private interest and public duty. There are two types ofconflict: Pecuniary – regulated by the Local Government Act and Department of Local GovernmentNon-pecuniary – regulated by codes of conduct and policy. ICAC, Ombudsman, Department ofLocal Government (advice only)The test for conflict of interest: Is it likely I could be influenced by personal interest in carrying out my public duty?Would a fair and reasonable person believe I could be so influenced?Conflict of interest is closely tied to the layperson’s definition of “corruption” – using publicoffice for private gainImportant to consider public perceptions of whether you have a conflict of interestIdentifying problems 1st Do I have private interests affected by a matter I am officially involved in?2nd Is my official role one of influence or perceived influence over the matter?3rd Do my private interests conflict with my official role?Whilst seeking advice is generally useful, the ultimate decision rests with the person concerned.When making a Declaration of Interest the reason for making the declaration should be clearlystated.
