My submission states I do not wish to see any pay rises in local government. In fact a review of pay structures is required to show accountability of CEO's , Mayors , Deputy Mayors and Councillors. The Shire of Yarra Ranges pay rate for these Office bearers appears excessive for little return or outcomes. During the pandemic council and local government have reduced services and were very slow to respond to needs of residents following a huge storm.
Pay rises are only valid when those in the roles or the whole organisation is performing at a peak.
keep smiling
