We are seeking feedback on our draft Payment of Expenses and Provision of Facilities for Mayor and Councillors Policy that is currently on public exhibition for a period of 28 days. Please submit your comments by 4pm Thursday 2 October 2025.
Background
Council is required to review the policy within 12 months of a local government election, with the revised policy placed on exhibition for 28 days following the completion of this review. The policy review has been completed, and the consultation was endorsed at the August 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting.
The revisions in this new draft align Council’s policy more closely with the model code issued by the NSW Office of Local Government, and make payment limits, expense types, and claimable expenses clearer than in previous versions.
You can view the draft Payment of Expenses and Provision of Facilities for Mayor and Councillors Policy by downloading the document from the Document Library (right side of the screen or by scrolling down this page on your smartphone or tablet), or hard copies will be available for viewing at our Council offices.
The final draft will be presented to councillors for adoption.
