Register of Interests - Elected Members
Elected Members are required to disclose their interests by completing a primary return after being elected and an ordinary return every year thereafter. The information submitted in the primary and ordinary returns is required to be entered into a Register of Interests.
Section 70 of the Local Government Act, requires that the Register be published on a website, ensuring, however, that a person’s residential address, or any other address suppressed under section 68(4)(a) of the Act, is not published.
This Elected Member Register of Interests contains information which was current as at 29 August 2023.
Council Members Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest Register
Following amendments to the Local Government Act 1999, the Chief Executive Officer is no longer required to publish general or material conflicts of interest on the District Council of Yankalilla website. Conflicts which have been disclosed at a meeting of the Council are recorded in the minutes of the meeting, subject to Section 75B(3) and Section 75C(5) of the Local Government Act 1999.
Prior to the amendments to the Act on 17 November 2022, the Chief Executive Officer was required to publish details of any actual, perceived or material conflicts of interest, as recorded in the minutes, on the District Council of Yankalilla website. Previous registers from before the amendments to the Act, can be found below.

Delegations Register
The District Council of Yankalilla has certain functions and duties which it must perform and certain powers which it may exercise, pursuant to the Local Government Act 1999 (the Act) as well as a range of other Acts. In most cases the relevant Acts grant these obligations and powers directly to the Elected Council.
As it is not practical or efficient for the Council as a body of Elected Members to perform the many operational activities that are required in the day-to-day administration of the Council's roles and functions, Section 44 of the Act allows the Council to formally delegate many of its powers and functions (within certain stated conditions and exemptions) to the Chief Executive Officer, who may then sub-delegate these powers and functions to other responsible staff members. Council may also delegate its powers and functions to a Council committee or authorised person.
All delegations made by Council can be revoked at any time and do not, except in limited circumstances, prevent Council from acting in a matter itself. In addition, a staff member to whom a delegation has been made may choose not to exercise that delegation and bring a matter before Council for direction.
The District Council of Yankalilla Delegations Register has been established to meet Council’s operational requirements and record the powers and functions that have been delegated from Council to the Chief Executive Officer (or a person acting in that capacity).
It also documents those Council officers and authorised persons to whom the Chief Executive Officer has further sub-delegated his or her powers.
