Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Members:

(a)

must observe the law and the authority’s rules governing the claiming of expenses and allowances in connection with their duties as members;

(b)

must avoid accepting from anyone gifts, hospitality (other than official hospitality, such as a civic reception or a working lunch duly authorised by the authority) material benefits or services for themselves or any person with whom the member is living that would, or might reasonably appear to, place them under an improper obligation.
