Shire of Three Springs - Elected Members Training Matrix (Local Government Act 1995, s 5.127)

Section 5.127 of the Act states the following:

5.127. Report on training

(1)          A local government must prepare a report for each financial year on the training completed by council members in the financial year.

(2)          The CEO must publish the report on the local government’s official website within 1 month after the end of the financial year to which the report relates.

All local governments will be undertaking their first reports since the new provisions come into effect. 

What training is required to be reported?

The intent is for the local government to report back to the community on what training councillors have undertaken so local governments are encouraged to include all training rather than just the Council Member Essentials course. This is also consistent with the requirement for a CPD policy – the report can align to what the local government has prepared in the policy (ie. other training that has been identified for councillors, especially those not required to complete the Council Member Essentials course that year. There will be some years where there is potentially no one completing the course and therefore if this section is interpreted narrowly there would be nothing to report).
