Noosa Council Watch

Councillors' declared interests

Every councillor must keep a register of interests, and council publishes them — as 128 separate PDFs, one per lodgement, with no way to see what any of it says without opening them one at a time. This is the same information as one page each.

A declaration is listed once, with the date it first appears, rather than repeated for every lodgement that carried it — that is the whole point: what changed, and when. The underlying PDFs are all linked, from every line, and are listed as documents under registers of interest.
