Council Connect - Issue 13

Welcome to the May 2022 issue of Council Connect.

As always, many interesting things are happening in both the law and in what our Council clients are up to (not to mention a new government). We’re delighted that we get to share those things with you along with our perspective on what they may mean for you. In this issue our articles include -

• SAVE THE DATE: Local Government Forum

• COUNCIL CONNECT INTERVIEW: Meredith Wallace, General Manager of Bayside Council

• No employer obligation to provide 'suitable duties' to an injured employee indefinitely

• Acquiring land for transport projects - The gap between law and government policy

• Avoiding defamation claims in contentious times

• Revised Government ICT Contracting Framework - a marked improvement?

• Builder demolition - how councils can reduce construction company failures and protect against them when they happen

• No discrimination - just lousy wages. 50-year legal landmark for Mary-Lynne.
