Draft Councillor Expenses and Facilities Policy

At the Council meeting on 14 June 2022, Council noted the draft Councillor Expenses and Facilities Policy and resolved to review the Policy and report back to Council.

The draft Policy is based on the Office of Local Government (OLG) better practice Councillor Expenses and Facilities Policy for Local Government and includes all specific expenses for which Councillors are entitled to receive and reimbursements. This allows Councillors to receive adequate and reasonable expenses and facilities to enable them to carry out their civic duties as elected representatives of their local communities.
