Consultation has concluded

The Payment of Expenses and Provision of Facilities to the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Councillors policy ensures accountability and transparency and aligns councillor expenses and facilities with community expectations.

The policy sets out the maximum amounts council will pay for specific expenses and facilities.

Following a review of the current policy, we are proposing minor changes to the reimbursement of expenses and provision of facilities to councillors carrying out their civic duties.

Detailed below are the proposed minor changes to the policy and are included in blue text in the draft for exhibition:

  • Amendment of travel expenses thresholds to reflect increased transportation costs
  • Inclusion of superannuation provisions adopted by Council
  • Inclusion of planning panel sitting fees
