Consultation has concluded
The establishment of a Mayoral Discretionary Fund enables the Mayor, on behalf of Council, to respond to requests for financial assistance from community groups or individuals from time to time.
The Mayoral Discretionary Fund will allow for:
- The exchanging of gifts with persons of importance visiting our region for which it is a common and often culturally appropriate; and
- Honouring a local citizen or citizens who have excelled in their chosen field of endeavour by holding a mayoral reception.
The Mayor has the discretion to approve financial assistance up to $1000 while expenditure exceeding $1000 requires approval by Council.
We are committed to ensuring the process of utilisation of the Mayoral Discretionary Fund is appropriate, consistent, open and transparent. The Policy aims to ensure responsibilities and required approval and authorisation processes are in place.
