Employee code of conduct
The Code of Conduct for Council Members and Committee Members was previously combined with the Employee Code of Conduct as the City of Belmont Code of Conduct. The new Employee Code Regulations require a separate code of conduct for employees.
The City’s Code of Conduct is being revised for implementation by the Chief Executive Officer in accordance with the Employee Code Regulations.
Until the review is finalised and the Employee Code of Conduct is implemented the current City of Belmont Code of Conduct remains applicable for all employees.
