LIMESTONE Coast councils have discussed hundreds of items behind closed doors in the last financial year, with figures revealing staff and elected members met in private 210 times during 2019/20.
An investigation by The Border Watch has shown the region’s seven councils have collectively invoked confidentiality provisions more times in the 2019/20 period than in the previous five years.
State legislation allows councils to have secret debates for commercially sensitive reasons – which on balance would be contrary to the public interest – tenders, litigation and legal advice and to discuss issues involving the unreasonable disclosure of information concerning an individual’s personal affairs.
