House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Estimates Replies Local Government Local Government In reply to Mr TELFER House of Assembly Flinders Local Government In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (5 July 2023). (Estimates Committee B) The Hon. G.G. BROCK House of Assembly Stuart Minister for Local Government Minister for Regional Roads Minister for Veterans Affairs Local Government The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Stuart—Minister for Local Government, Minister for Regional Roads, Minister for Veterans Affairs): I have been advised: On 16 June 2023, the Remuneration Tribunal of South Australia (the tribunal) released its inaugural determination on the remuneration of local government chief executive officers (CEOs). The responsibility to make this determination was tasked to the Tribunal through the Statutes Amendment (Local Government Review) Act 2021 and commenced on 20 September 2021. I am advised that this was a reform that was requested by council CEOs and strongly supported by the local government sector, including the Local Government Association. This reform responded to a view that an independent body should be responsible for setting CEO salaries rather than this being a matter for negotiation between an elected member body and a CEO.
