Some Victorian council CEOs are raking in more than $500,000 a year, while mayors and councillors have received a modest pay rise and can earn between $26,000 and $260,000.
Chief executives of Victorian councils are raking in more than half a million dollars a year, while the state’s councillors have received a modest pay rise and may earn as little as $26,368.– below the country’s 3.6 per cent inflation rise – meaning mayors can earn $81,641 to $260,782, and councillors between $26,368 to $60,000.
The designations mean the City of Melbourne’s nine councillors are entitled to $59,085, and Deputy Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece is entitled to $130, 391. The municipality’s population grew by about 17,000 residents in the past year., meaning City of Sydney’s councillors could earn between $30,720 and $45,070 a year. Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore earns $269,970 a year, according to the City of Sydney. That payment comprises a mayoral fee and a councillor salary.
Hurlston said to justify the “extraordinary” salaries paid to council CEOs, their key performance indicators should be put in the public domain. “Generally, the payment is 20 to 30 per cent less than what we think it should be, given the hours they put in each week,” he said.Clark said at a standard metropolitan council, councillors need to allocate about 25 hours per week to do their job properly, and mayors often work 50 to 60 hours per week.
