The council endorsed at its meeting held on 26 April 2023 to place on public exhibition the Statement of Business Ethics Policy for a period of 28 days commencing Monday 31 July 2023 and concluding 28 August 2023.

Council is undertaking a review of Council policies for the current term. This involves reviewing and amending existing policies, identifying policy gaps and developing new policy where necessary.

Council is committed to ensuring its business relationships are ethical, honest, fair and consistent. Our business dealings will be transparent and open to public scrutiny wherever possible. Council’s business principles are as follows:

  • All procurement is conducted on the basis of value for money and aligned to other relevant Council policies
  • All business relationships with external parties will be transparent
  • Procurement and appointment decisions will be based on merit and will be impartial and will not take extraneous issues into account

The attached policy provides further detail to how these principles will be applied across Council. The only changes made to the policy document are corrective administrative updates. No changes have modified the intent, scope or principles of the policy.


Submissions are invited and must be addressed to the General Manager, Armidale Regional Council, PO Box 75A, Armidale, NSW 2350, or sent by email to council@armidale.nsw.gov.au(External link).
