Background
At a recent council meeting, held on Tuesday 1 June 2021, Council determined that it would continue to maintain an annual allowance for the Mayor and Councillors at the levels set by the Victorian Government and adopted by Council until such time as the Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal makes its first determination. These allowances are:
Councillors - $26,245; and
Mayor - $81,204.
In addition to this allowance, Councillors will receive an amount equivalent to the superannuation guarantee contribution (currently 9.5% and increasing to 10% on 1 July 2021).
Information about Councillors allowances is available on the Know Your Council website.
