The associations are calling on the state government to fix the disparity between the state representatives and councillors appointed as represenleading to a differing level of accountability between members. The local government register ensures that councillors are accountable for their involvement in business and consultancy dealings, and helps to ensure the transparency of planning decisions, she said. The Minister claims that the difference lies in the range of duties carried out by state JRPP members as opposed to elected councillors. But she has appointed these state representatives to make the exact decisions previously made by elected councillors why has she not ensured that they conform to the same standards Shoalhaven City Deputy Mayor Gareth Ward agrees, arguing the NSW government must mandate a publicly documented declaration of pecuniary interests for all stateappointed members to JRPPs. Its all good and well to require State appointed members to the JRPP to declare any pecuniary or conflict of interest on matters that come before them, he said. But by failing to provide a publicly documented declaration of pecuniary interests similar to that required by councillors, the Minister and the Government have legislated a double standard in planning and development decisions in NSW. Cr McCaffery also condemned provisions in the JRPP Code of Conduct that allow the Panel or the Minister to rule that a pecuniary interest is irrelevant.Dr Brian Tracey working Fridays7 Middleton Street, Byron Bay Staff Christmas Party Venue Small informal groups Great value Excellent food Menti Idealand a Professional Bleaching Kit Hotel on this ad parking near Beach normal value will be oered for , completewith a complementary comprehensive examination.
