At the Ordinary Council Meeting 22 July 2025, Council resolved to place on exhibition the Strathfield Councillors Expenses and Facilities Policy. The policy is available to the right.

About the policy

This policy enables the reasonable and appropriate reimbursement of expenses and provision of facilities to Councillors to help them undertake their civic duties.

It ensures accountability and transparency, seeks to align Councillor expenses and facilities with community expectations. Councillors must not obtain private or political benefit from any expense or facility provided under this policy.

The policy has been prepared in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993(the Act) and Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 (the Regulation), and complies with the Office of Local Government's Guidelines for the payment of expenses and provision of facilities to Mayors and Councillors in NSW.
