Councillor expenses and facilities policy 2025

Randwick Council is required to adopt a policy concerning the payment of expenses incurred or to be incurred by, and the provision of facilities to, the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor and the other Councillors in relation to discharging the functions of civic office. Expenses and facilities may only be paid and/or provided in accordance with the adopted policy.

Our Councillor Expenses & Facilities Policy has been reviewed, and the proposed changes are summarised below:

• Combine the expense limit for computer technology and related equipment and mobile telephone equipment to provide Councillors with more flexibility as to how this expense limit is utilised. It is proposed that the maximum combined cost of this equipment be set at $12,000 per Councillor per term.
• Combine the expense limit for home office and stationery consumables and subscriptions to provide Councillors with more flexibility as to how this expense limit is utilised.
