This article covers councillors of the City of Boroondara who make up the council that governs the city.

Powers and duties

The Local Government Act 1989 of the Victorian Parliament sets out the statutory roles of councillors:

(a) to participate in the decision-making of the Council; and

(b) to represent the local community in that decision-making; and

(c) to contribute to the strategic direction of the Council through the development and review of key strategic documents of the Council, including the Council Plan.

— Local Government Act 1989[1]

The practical duties of councillors include:

  • Attending council meetings
  • Fielding inquiries and comments from constituents
  • Representing Council at official functions and events

Councillors are empowered with a vote to use at council meetings and other bodies with delegated authority. They may exercise this vote when making decisions. They are also able to witness statutory declarations and other miscellaneous powers.[1]

Individually, councillors have little authority on their own. They are only able to make decisions affecting council as a collective body with a majority decision.

Selection process

Remuneration

As of July 2016, councillors receive an allowance $30,223 per annum. Boroondara is in the third category of councils set by the state government which stipulates a range of $12,614-$30,223. The mayor's annual allowance is significantly higher at $96,534 in recognition of the significantly increased workload compared to that of an ordinary councillor. Both positions carry an additional 9.25% of superannuation guarantee.

An annual adjustment of 2.5% to account for inflation has been set by the Victorian Minister for Local Government.[2]
