Cr Chris Milne guilty of 'serious and material' code of conduct breaches
An independent investigator has found "material and serious" code of conduct breaches by Hutt City councillor Chris Milne.
The breaches relate to two separate complaints made against Milne to the council’s chief executive by Deputy Mayor Tui Lewis in May.
The first accused Milne of interfering with the council’s waste and recycling tender process, while the second alleged an ongoing conflict of interest while the council considered selling land for the benefit of Hutt Valley Tennis.
Milne's wife is the President of Hutt Valley Tennis, which has been seeking significant financial support from the council.
Milne declined to comment other than to say he would be presenting evidence on Friday which the council had not yet seen.
