Elected Members allowances and sitting fees
The remuneration, fees, recoverable expenses or allowances provided to local government CEOs and council members are determined by an independent State Government body, the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal (SAT).
In November 2017, Council endorsed a policy that, in the absence of Council decision to the contrary, Council Members are to receive 75 per cent of the maximum annual allowance fees determined by SAT.
Council member remuneration is published in the Shire’s Annual Financial Statements.
