PART 1 - GENERAL
1.	Legislative basis: The Remuneration Tribunal has made this Determination in accordance with subsections 7(3) and 7(4) of the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973.
2.	Effective date: This Determination takes effect on and from 1 March 2014.
3.	Effect on earlier Determinations: This Determination supersedes and revokes in full Determination 2013/11: (as amended) Remuneration and Allowances for Holders of Part- Time Public Office.
4.	Structure: This Determination is structured so that each schedule contains the provisions for a specific remuneration model as follows:  
•	Schedule A applies to office holders remunerated by annual fees.  
•	Schedule B applies to office holders remunerated by daily fees.  
•	Schedule C contains provisions for office holders who are remunerated under an annual meeting fee and additional daily fee model.  
•	Schedule D provisions are for office holders who are remunerated under the base (annual) fee and daily meeting fee model.
•	Schedule E provisions are for offices of the Aboriginal Land Councils.
5.	Definitions: In this Determination, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
'authority' is the body or office to which office holders, as defined in this clause, are appointed;
'authority business' means any authority business conducted by an office holder with the authority's approval, excluding attendance at a formal meeting, official travel time on a meeting day and normal preparation time for that meeting (Note: Time spent by the office holder preparing for a formal meeting that the Chair considers is excessive to normal preparation time may be treated as 'authority business');
‘normal preparation time’ means the time that a member of an authority ordinarily requires to prepare for a meeting of the authority.  It can occur on either a day of a meeting or on another day.
'office holder' means the holder of a part-time public office;
'official travel time' is the reasonable period, certified by a Chair, that an office holder spends travelling on official business away from the metropolitan area of the capital city or the environs of the town in which the office holder lives. It does not include time spent travelling between an office holder's home and principal place of work. The Chair may consider agency travel guidelines (if any) when determining the reasonable period.
'public office' has the same meaning as in the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973.
PART 2 - FEES
6.	Specified offices: The fees in Schedules A, B, C, D, and E apply to the holders of the offices specified in those schedules. The rates are effective from 1 March 2014 unless otherwise specified in the schedules.  The fees are gross fees; no additional amount is payable by the authority to meet any taxation obligations.
7.	Remuneration packaging: An authority may provide access to remuneration packaging to office holders. An office holder may elect to take the fees and allowances payable under this Determination either as a cash payment, or a combination of a cash payment and other benefits.
7.1.	Election: Any election made in accordance with clause 6 must be consistent with:
a)	applicable agency policies and procedures on remuneration packaging; and
b)	relevant taxation laws, rulings and guidelines issued by the Australian Taxation Office.
7.2.	No cost to authority: Remuneration packaging must be administered without additional cost to the authority and any fringe benefits tax associated with a benefit must be included in the remuneration package.
8.	Offices not specified: Where an office is not specified in the schedules to this Determination, a daily fee from one of the categories set out in the table below will be payable effective from 1 March 2014: 

Office	Category 1	Category 2	Category 3	
 	$ per day	$ per day	$ per day	
Chairperson	512	578	698	
Member	384	429	621	

8.1.	Conditions for payment: Payment of the fee is subject to the conditions and requirements set out in Schedule B.  These are gross fees; no additional amount is payable by the authority to meet any taxation obligations. 
8.2.	Category of payment: The category of fee to be paid shall be determined by the Minister within whose portfolio responsibility the public office is located, in accordance with the nature, function and responsibilities of the office.
PART 3 - CONDITIONS OF OFFICIAL TRAVEL
9.	Official Travel Determination: Determination 2013/16: (as amended) Official Travel by Office Holders applies to offices covered by this Determination, subject to any exclusions or limitations in this Determination.
9.1.	Travel tier for specified offices: An office holder whose office is specified in the schedules to this Determination is entitled to travelling allowance under Determination 2013/16 at the Travel Tier rate specified in the relevant Schedule for that office.

•	any official travel time associated with the formal meetings.
18.1.	Lengthy absence: The annual meeting fee is proportionally reduced where an office holder is unavailable to attend meetings of the authority for a period of more than three months, except to the extent that a reduction would be inconsistent with the terms of the office holder's appointment.
