Expenses Report
The Local Government Act 1993 and the Local Government (General) Regulations 2015 provide for the payment of allowances and reimbursement of expenses of the office of elected members.
Specifically, the payment of the annual allowance for the office of Lord Mayor, Deputy Lord Mayor and Aldermen/Councillors is provided within the Local Government (General) Regulations 2015 with the quantum determined annually by the Office of Local Government, Department Premier and Cabinet.
Schedule 5 of the Local Government Act 1993 allows for the reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in the duties of office of elected members.
Elected members have a number of benefits and entitlements available in support of their roles as elected representatives of the City of Hobart. For more information, view the Elected Members' Development and Support Policy(PDF, 324KB).
The expenses shown on the attached reports are based upon when the Council pays a reimbursement to an Elected Member, not the month in which the expense are necessarily incurred. As an example where a quarterly reimbursement is sought, there would be no costs shown on the report for two months, with the full combined costs then shown in the following month in which the claim was reimbursed.
