MISBEHAVING councillors could have their allowances suspended or be banned from office for up to five years under a tough new code of conduct in NSW.
New laws will punish councillors for making "politically motivated or vexatious allegations" and they will be banned from receiving free meals or overseas travel, or using their positions for personal benefit.
NSW Local Government Minister Don Page announced the penalties on Thursday.
The new rules were developed with input from the community, the local government sector, the NSW Ombudsman's office and Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), Mr Page said in a statement.
"The new code sets the standards of ethical and other conduct that council employees and councillors are required to observe while fulfilling their work obligations," he said.
"The vast majority of councillors do a great job and work long hours without regard to furthering their personal or political interests," Mr Page said.
"These rules are not aimed at those councillors."
