Councillor Remuneration
The Remuneration Authority sets remuneration for elected positions in local government. It also sets the rules for reimbursement of costs met by members in undertaking their duties. Both are unique to each local authority.
The Authority does not set remuneration for Chief Executives of local or regional authorities. That is the responsibility of the local/regional authorities.
