Appointment and Remuneration of Directors and Trustees for Council Organisations

Adopted March 2011.

The purpose of this policy is to set out, in accordance with section 57 (1) of the Local Government Act 2002 (“the Act”) an objective and transparent process for:

  • The identification and consideration of the skills, knowledge and experience required of directors of a Council Organisation; and
  • The appointment of directors to a Council Organisation; and
  • The remuneration of directors of a Council Organisation.

This policy applies to Council Organisations (including Council-Controlled Organisations). Where there is a difference between the processes to appoint directors to Council Organisations (where Council has less than 50% of control), compared to the processes to appoint directors to Council-Controlled Organisations, this has been specified within the policy.
