The City of Mandurah publishes a range of governance registers in accordance with the Local Government Act 1995 and associated regulations. These registers provide transparency around gifts, elections, conduct, training, remuneration, and property transactions.
Disclosure Registers
Council Members and the CEO must declare any gift over $300 that is received as a result of their role as a council member or CEO.
A gift includes things like money, services, hospitality and travel contributions, which are now treated the same as other gifts.
The former City of Mandurah Register of Gifts and Contributions to Travel is also available. It covers the period from March 2016 to 19 October 2019, before the Local Government Act 1995 was amended, when travel contributions were recorded separately and not included in the definition of gifts.
Enquiries should be directed to Governance Services on (08) 9550 3777 or via email to [email protected].
Disclosure of Electoral Gifts
Part 5A of the Local Government (Elections) Regulations 1997 requires both candidates and donors to disclose information about any electoral related gift with a value of $300 or more that that was given or promised during the disclosure period.
All disclosures remain on the register for four years.

The Local Government Act 1995 was amended on 1 January 2026, which included changes to requirements relating to complaints.
The CEO was previously required to publish an up-to-date version of a register of complaints which records all complaints that result in a finding under section 5.110(2)(a) that a minor breach has occurred.
Transitional provisions under the Local Government (Local Government Inspector) Regulations 2025 require this register to remain on the website until 15 October 2027.
The CEO is now required to maintain and publish a record of information about:
- Behavioural breaches by a council member that are found under the code of conduct to have occurred,
- Recurrent breaches that are found to have been committed by a council member,
- Conduct breaches by a council member that are found to have occurred;
- Specified breaches that are found to have been committed by a council member;
- Orders made under section 8A.14(5), 8A.18(4), 8A.21(2)(b), 8A.25 or 8A.27(2)(b) of the Local Government Act 1995, in respect of a council member,
- Any adverse recommendation made by the Inspector about the conduct of a council member, the CEO or another employee in a report under section 8.4 of the Local Government Act 1995 that is provided to the City.
- Any adverse finding, recommendation or proposition made by an oversight entity about the conduct of a council member, the CEO or another employee that is made available to the public.
This information must be kept on the record for 12 years from the date it was first included.
