NNew laws on disclosing political donations
From 1 October 2008, anyone lodging a Development Application or anyone making a submission or commenting on a Development Application will need to publicly disclose donations made to a local councillor or political party as well as any gifts that are made to any local councillor or employee of Council.
This new law has been introduced by the state government to improve the transparency of the planning system.
The disclosure requirements apply at the time the application is lodged with a Council or the NSW government, and also apply to individuals or entities lodging submissions in objection or support of the proposal. All disclosures will be publicly available.
You can find the Political Donations disclosure form on our website, in the Forms and Guidelines Section. The register of disclosures is available from the Electoral Funding Authority website For more information, contact Council on (02) 6023 8111.
