A Kapiti councillor is barred from entering council buildings after allegations he pressed himself against a female staff member last month.
He is also not allowed to associate with witnesses in the case, including Mayor K Gurunathan, except for work purposes.
David John Scott, 70, is accused of coming up behind a council employee while she was speaking to the mayor and pressing his body against her on April 13.
He has previously denied the allegations.
Scott appeared before Judge James Johnston in the Porirua District Court this morning facing one charge of indecent assault, and was remanded to June 16.
