Section 252 of the Local Government Act 1993 requires Council to adopt a policy for the payment of expenses and the provision of facilities to Councillors. Council must place the draft policy on public exhibition inviting submissions from the community.
The purpose of the Policy is to ensure that there is accountability and transparency in the reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Mayor and Councillors. The Policy also ensures that the facilities provided to assist the Mayor and Councillors to carry out their civic duties, are reasonable.
Written submissions are invited and will be accepted until 4.30pm, Friday 31 January 2025. Further enquiries can be directed to Council's Executive Manager on 9725 0226.
