Council is required by statute to maintain a Travel Register of interstate and overseas travel by Officers and Councillors. Below is a link to Council's Travel Policy along with procedures which need to be carried out prior to travel being undertaken:
Interstate travel undertaken by Councillors must be approved by the Mayor or CEO.
Overseas travel must be approved by Council by way of a Council report to be adopted at a Council Meeting.
Notice of intention to travel interstate or overseas should be given to Governance as soon as approved using the form below and noting on the form that it is an estimate of future travel.
Upon completion of travel, an accurate and detailed breakdown of costs, with supporting documentation and copies of receipts must be forwarded to Governance as soon as possible to enable the register to be kept up-to-date.
Please note, information from these forms is included in Council's Statutory Register of International and Interstate Travel which is a public document under 11(c) of the Local Government (General) Regulations.
