Complaints Handling Policy

We recognise the importance of complaints to the organisation and regard them as opportunities to put things right or to improve our services. Complaints provide the organisation with an opportunity to gather information on a variety of services, service delivery methods, and customer needs and expectations. This information helps us work towards improving the level of customer service.

Council's Complaints Handling Policy aims to provide Council and its administration with principles and guides to effectively deal with and manage complaints from the community. 

This policy will apply only when staff have been unable to resolve a complaint informally or the customer wishes for the complaint to be escalated and reviewed.

Please refer to Council's Complaints Handling Policy for further information.
