Koby Bunney, 36, appeared in Ballarat Magistrate’s Court on Thursday and was placed on an adjourned undertaking, ordered to submit a Campaign Donation Return (CDR) and pay $1000 in legal costs.
A CDR is a record of donations or gifts, including in-kind support, supplied to candidates during the campaign donation period, enabling them to submit details of donations or gifts received above the $500 threshold, as per section 62 of the Local Government Act 1989.
Mr Bunney was charged with failing to inform the City of Ballarat within 40 days of the election day in October 2016.
