Council Connect Issue 15 – Constitutional & Administrative Law

Welcome to Autumn (where has summer gone?) and our 15th issue of
Council Connect. Reading over the articles our
team have prepared, I am struck by how much change and growth our
local councils manage relentlessly. Maintaining focus on what’s
important while leaping the hurdles that appear is no easy
task.

In this issue we interview Gail Connolly, CEO of the City of
Parramatta who shared her time with us recently to talk about how
proud she is of her LGA. Gail talks about her council’s focus
on ensuring the community ‘has access to the services they
deserve’ and I know this is a focus for all our council clients
– as populations increase so do community needs.

This issue of Council Connect includes the following
articles:

• New In-Fill Affordable Housing Scheme – what you need to
  know




• Unfair contract terms – the noose tightens on bad
  practices




• Unfair contract terms in property contracts




• Recent cases benefit councils in disputes and contractors




• Legislators up the stakes on privacy with new, mandatory scheme
  for councils




• Injured workers – what medical evidence is needed to get
  a job back?




• Councils and criminal reporting – recent law changes make
  it important to know your rights and obligations




• Reformation of the Industrial Court of NSW and more
