We use all feedback—positive or negative—to help us review and improve the way we serve the community.

Unreasonable complainant conduct

The Council is committed to being accessible and responsive to all complainants who approach the Council for assistance or seek to lodge a complaint. At the same time, our ability to provide the broad range of services that we provide to our local community depends upon:

  • our ability to do our work and perform our functions in the most effective and efficient ways possible
  • the health, safety and security of Council staff
  • our ability to allocate resources fairly across all Council operations and all requests and complaints that we receive.

As a result, the Council will take proactive, fair and decisive action to manage any complainant conduct that negatively and unreasonably affects the Council’s operations or staff in accordance with the Council’s Unreasonable Complainant Conduct Policy & Procedure.
