Gifts and hospitality

To ensure impartial relationships, GWMWater employees and Board members aren't allowed to accept offers of gifts and hospitality from suppliers, contractors or other parties.

The only exceptions are:

  • 'Token' gifts under a total value of $50 from the same source in one year, which are considered inconsequential.
  • Hospitality under $50 that's regarded as common courtesy and doesn't raise a conflict of interest, such as a working lunch or coffee.

Gift register

All offers of gifts (above exceptions excluded) will be published here, whether the gift was accepted or not.  Feel free to contact us if you'd like to obtain information from our Gift Register prior to 1 July 2016.
