The Local Government Act 2020 (the Act) received Royal Assent on 24 March 2020. This broad and transformative Act imposed changes to the Governance practices of Council and required the implementation of several new policies, to strengthen public accountability and transparency.

The policy defines matters pertaining to the employment lifecycle, specifically regarding the recruitment and appointment process, provisions captured in the contract, performance monitoring, and annual review in accordance with the Act.
