Elected members expenses

Elected members may incur expenses while on council business, for which they can be reimbursed. Details of expenses claimed can be seen in the sections below.

Our Elected members expenses policy outlines what are deemed to be legitimate expenses that may be incurred by elected members acting in their official capacity. It was adopted on July 1, 2019.

The Remuneration Authority sets the base remuneration for all elected members of local authorities including community boards. It also sets allowances and expenses.
