Have your say about councillors remuneration
Earlier this year, the Queensland Government appointed an independent Commission to recommend new local government boundaries. Now, an independent Local Government Remuneration Tribunal has been established to determine the remuneration to be paid to councillors (including mayors and deputy mayors) and will make its determinations by 1 December each year.
The Tribunal invites written submissions from local governments, interested parties, and the public to assist in making its determination.
