Consultation has concluded
Council has resolved to place the Councillors Expenses & Facilities Policy on display for 28 days to seek community feedback.
This policy enables the reasonable and appropriate reimbursement of expenses and provision of facilities to councillors to help them undertake their civic duties. It ensures accountability and transparency, and seeks to align councillor expenses and facilities with community expectations.
Councillors must not obtain private or political benefit from any expense or facility provided under this policy. The policy has been prepared in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act) and Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 (the Regulation), and complies with the Office of Local Government’s Guidelines for the payment of expenses and provision of facilities to mayors and councillors in NSW.
The policy sets out the maximum amounts Council will pay for specific expenses and facilities. Expenses not explicitly addressed in this policy will not be paid or reimbursed.
The document may be viewed in person during business hours (8.30am - 4.30pm) at the Council's Corporate Centre until the closing date 16 May 2023.
Submissions can be made via the form below or addressed to the General Manager and lodged by e-mail to council@lismore.nsw.gov.au or by post at PO Box 23A, Lismore NSW 2480. Your submission must be in writing and be received by 4.30pm on the final day of exhibition.
All submissions, including any personal information contained therein, will become publicly available documents and will be made available on Council’s website, in accordance with the provisions of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009.
