TOWN OF CLAREMONT — CLUB BAYVIEW 322. Hon GEORGE CASH to the Minister for Local Government: (1) Did Mr Arthur Kyron, chief executive officer of the Town of Claremont, receive a letter dated 18 January 2008 and a letter dated 7 February 2008 from a resident residing at 61 Bay View Terrace, Claremont in which the resident raised issues of complaint relating to the activities of Club Bayview, Claremont?

(4) I refer to part 5, division 6, of the Local Government Act 1995 and ask whether any elected member or staff member of the Town of Claremont has a recorded financial interest or indirect financial interest in the business known as Club Bayview, Claremont. (5) If no, has any member declared in either his or her primary or annual return a gift from the business known as Club Bayview, Claremont? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1)-(3) The Department of Local Government and Regional Development is not privy to the correspondence received by the Town of Claremont and, accordingly, these questions would be more appropriately directed to the Town of Claremont’s chief executive officer, Mr Kyron. (4)-(5) The Local Government Act 1995 requires that a register of financial interests is maintained by the CEO and that this register be available at the town for public inspection. Concerns in relation to the administrative practices of the town or the proper disclosure of financial interests should be made known to the department, which will examine the matters.
