Former Sunshine Coast mayor Bob Abbot will chair the new Local Government Remuneration Commission.<\/p>\n

Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the commission would establish categories for Queensland\u2019s 77 councils and the amount of remuneration payable to councillors and mayors in those categories.<\/p>\n

He said Mr Abbot would be joined by Andrea Ranson and Reimen Hii, both of whom are part-time mediators for the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.<\/p>\n

\u201cBob, Andrea and Reimen not only bring a wealth of experience in local government and the law, but I know they will also ensure that Queensland\u2019s diversity will be well represented in their recommendation,” Minister Hinchliffe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBob has 32 years\u2019 experience as an elected councillor and mayor, and has held board and panel positions with the South East Queensland Council of Mayors and the LGAQ.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cImportantly, he has been willing to pass on his knowledge as a mentor to newly elected mayors and councillors, with a particular focus on Indigenous mayors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be very ably assisted by Andrea and Reimen, whose legal expertise, experience in public administration, and engagement with local governments will be of enormous value.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d also like to note that Reimen is the 2019 recipient of the Australian Young Lawyer Award for his outstanding contribution to the law through his pro bono work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish them all well over the course of their four-year tenure and I have complete confidence they will do an outstanding job for communities across Queensland.\u201d<\/p>\n

The role of the commission is to establish the categories of local governments; decide the category to which each local government belongs; and decide the maximum amount of remuneration payable to the councillors and mayors in each category.<\/p>\n

The categories will be reviewed every four years, while the remuneration will be reviewed annually.<\/p>\n

The commission, along with the new Councillor Conduct Tribunal, replace the former Local Government Remuneration and Discipline Tribunal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
