Council Members Allowances
On 25 August 2010, the Remuneration Tribunal released its first Council Members’ Allowances Determination (the Determination).
The Determination, which will take effect following the first ordinary meeting of council held after the conclusion of the November 2010 local government elections, determines that all councils will be classified into one of five groups, and allowances set in accordance with the relevant group.
Allowances for Councillors have been set as follows:
Group Allowance
($ per annum)
Group 1 16,800
Group 2 14,000
Group 3 11,300
Group 4 8,000
Group 5 5,000
Principal Members’ Allowances are set at four times that of a Councillor of that council, and Deputy Mayors/ Deputy Chairpersons and presiding members of standing committees have an allowance set at one and a quarter (1.25) times that of a Councillor of that council.
City of Charles Sturt is a Group 1 council.
