We invite the community to provide feedback on the Draft Payment of Expenses and Provision of Facilities to Councillors Policy.
The purpose of the policy is to ensure that there is accountability and transparency in the reimbursement of expenses incurred or to be incurred by Councillors or Administrators of Council.
The policy also ensures that the facilities provided to assist Councillors and Administrators of Council, to carry out their civic duties are reasonable.
The objectives of this policy are to:-
outline the criteria for payment of expenses for attendance by Councillors at
conferences and training and development;
outline the facilities provided to the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Councillors;
outline the approval process for the payment of expenses and facilities;
outline the procedure for the return of facilities at the end of the Council term; and
ensure facilities and expenses provided to Councillors meet community
expectations.
The Draft Policy and associated documents are available under documents.
