GRANT District Council has lost a 19-month battle to keep an audio recording of a controversial council meeting secret after the state’s ombudsman rejected an argument that the release of the document could cause difficulties within the organisation.
South Australian Ombudsman Wayne Lines has ordered council to hand over a recording of a special council meeting held in February 2019 to discuss “code of conduct” matters and a cultural review of the organisation.
