Deciding and reviewing categories to which local governments belong
243 Deciding and reviewing categories to which local governments belong
The remuneration commission must, for each local government, decide the category of local government to which the local government belongs.
When making a decision about a local government under subsection (1), the remuneration commission must have regard to the criteria it used for establishing categories of local governments.
The remuneration commission must, once during each local government term—
review the categories of local governments established under section 241; and
ensure the review is completed before 1 December of the year before the year in which the next quadrennial election is to be held.
For subsection (3), a local government term is the period between a quadrennial election and the next quadrennial election.
After reviewing the categories, the remuneration commission must—
decide whether to amend the established categories; and
if any established category of local government is amended, again decide the categories of any local governments affected by the amendment.
