About the elected members' register of interests
In 2022, a change to the Local Government Act 2002 means elected members must declare their financial interests every year.
They can update their declaration at any time if their situation changes during the year, and only the most recent version will be shown publicly.
From 2023 onward, all elected members must submit their register of interest by:
- the day that is 120 days after the date on which the member comes into office under section 115 of the Local Electoral Act 2001
- the last day of February every year.
These include interests in:
- property
- companies
- employment and contracts
- trusts
- gifts and donations.
Understanding the documents
Documents with 'Declaration' in the title are from 2019 to 2022.
Documents with 'Register' in the title are from October 2022 onwards.
If a register of interest is not in the current year’s folder, it is because the deadline for submitting it is the end of February the following year, and the elected member is yet to make any submissions.
