Executive remuneration
Under the LG Act, the annual report of a local government must state the total remuneration packages
that were payable during the reporting period to its senior management, and the number of employees
in senior management who are being paid each of the total remuneration packages.

The senior management of a local government consists of the chief executive officer and all senior
executive employees of the local government. A senior executive employee is an employee who reports
directly to the chief executive officer and whose position would ordinarily be considered to be a senior
position in the corporate structure.

The total of remuneration packages payable to senior management during the period was $1,077,410.

The annual package bands for Council’s senior management team are outlined in table 6 below.
