What’s new or changing
- The Office of Local Government (OLG) has issued a consultation draft of a Model Media Policy.
- OLG is seeking the views of councils and other stakeholders on the consultation draft prior to finalising the model policy.
- The model policy has been developed drawing on best practice across the local government sector.
- The model policy will not be mandatory, and councils will be free to choose whether to use the policy or to adapt it for their own purposes. If adopted, the policy will operate to supplement the provisions of councils’ adopted codes of conduct.
