When lodging a complaint with the Local Government Inspector, it is essential that you provide information that is truthful, accurate, and not misleading. Individuals who submit complaints are expected to act in good faith and with integrity.
Providing false or misleading information is an offence under section 8A.38 of the Local Government Act 1995 and you could incur a penalty of up to $10,000.
False or misleading information can also undermine the complaint process and may result in the complaint being dismissed.
Complainants are encouraged to ensure that all claims are supported by factual evidence and to avoid exaggeration or omission of key details.
