Explanatory memorandum
This memorandum is not part of the determination, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This determination amends the Local Government Members (2019/20) Determination 2019 (the principal determination).
This determination is based on the changed approach to setting local government remuneration, signalled in the principal determination. The determination is operational for the period following the election of the local government representatives on 12 October 2019, ie, from 13 October 2019 until 30 June 2020.
After the 2019 local body elections, each council was required to provide the Remuneration Authority (the Authority) with recommendations for how its governance remuneration pool, which must be fully allocated, should be distributed among its elected members (excluding the mayor or regional council chairperson). The recommendations included a rate for base councillor remuneration and rates for all positions of responsibility. The Authority considered these recommendations before determining the remuneration payable to elected members that comes into effect on the dates specified in the Schedule.
This determination includes those councils that were unable to submit their recommendations to the Authority in time to be considered and included in the 13 December 2019 determination (Local Government Members (2019/20) Amendment Determination 2019).
Date of notification in Gazette: 5 March 2020.
