The prescribed amount, for a local government for a financial year, means 0.1% of the local government’s revenue from general rates for the previous financial year.
Council has allocated a total of $325,767 equating to $25,059 for each elected official towards discretionary funds for this financial year.
Discretionary fund allocations must be the same for City of Moreton Bay's Mayor and Councillors.
