Local Government Act 1993

The determination of a code of conduct complaint by the investigating Panel for the complaint under section 28ZI is to be in writing and is to contain – a summary of the complaint; and the determination of the Panel; and the Panel's reasons for the determination; and if the code of conduct complaint or part of it is upheld and the Panel has imposed a sanction on a councillor, that sanction and a reasonable period within which the councillor is to comply with the sanction; and if the code of conduct complaint or part of it is dismissed and the Panel determines under section 28ZI(3) that the complainant may not make a further complaint in relation to the same matter, a direction to the complainant to that effect; and a statement that a person aggrieved by the determination of the Panel is entitled, under section 28ZP, to apply to the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for a review of that determination on the ground that the Panel has failed to comply with the rules of natural justice.

In the determination report made under subsection (1) in respect of a code of conduct complaint, the investigating Panel for the complaint may recommend that the Director considers making a recommendation to the Minister, under section 214L(1), in respect of matters raised with the investigating Panel during the investigation of the complaint.

The determination of a code of conduct complaint must not contain any information of a kind referred to in section 338A but, if the investigating Panel for the complaint considers that any such information is relevant to the report and should be included, it is to include that information in an addendum to the report.
