No pay increase for some councillors and mayors this year as impact of Covid-19 bites

Last year elected politicians at both local and national level took a six-month pay cut in response to Covid-19 after the law was changed to allow for temporary reductions. Those cuts ceased in January. Elected members at Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch councils have received no increase to their base salary this year – excluding the ending of the pay cut – while those at the majority of other councils have received a 1 to 1.5 per cent increase. A few councils have been given larger increases to bring them into line with changes made by the authority in 2019. Ricky Wilson/Stuff Auckland mayor Phil Goff will be paid $296,000 in the coming 12 months.
