Reports of the former Local Government Remuneration Tribunal

2009

On 11 December 2009, the Queensland Government announced the rate payable to state members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) would increase to $130,540 from 1 January 2010. Consistent with Note 3 of the remuneration schedule, page 33 of the Local Government Remuneration Tribunal report, if this MLA remuneration rate becomes higher than the determined rate within the report, the higher amount is to be used. Therefore, from 1 January 2010 the amount of $130,540 is to be used by councils to calculate the remuneration payable to mayors, deputy mayors and councillors.

The 11 December 2009 amended remuneration schedule has replaced the schedule in the tribunal report on pages 31-33. The tribunal’s decision was also published in the Queensland Government Gazette on 18 December 2009 as required by legislation under the Local Government Act 1993. Councils are required to make a resolution about the actual levels of remuneration to be paid to its local government representatives within two months of the 18 December 2009.
