In the interests of transparency and accountability, the Code of Conduct requires all elected members to make a full and complete declaration of their interests as at 30 June each year. These are recorded in the council’s Register of Interests.
Each declaration should set out the member’s interests, including company directorships and controlling interests, shares and bonds in companies and business entities, any employment, beneficial interests in trusts, membership of community organisations, appointments to outside entities, interests in land, debtors, creditors, travel costs paid by third parties, gifts (including hospitality) received over $100 in value and discharged debts over $500 paid for by other parties (existing limit - refer to policy). For further information, on registered members interests, see elected member declarations on Auckland Council's website.
