Parramatta. Report on council's wages bill

Council has been requested by Cr Andrew Wilson, to prepare a report on council’s wage system, specifically to a) explain and detail the unsustainable growth in council’s wages and salaries bill, by paying particular attention to growth in real wages and salaries relative to CPI and national averages, b) total wages and salaries as a percentage of total revenue and total operating costs, and c) seek solutions to ensure future balanced budgets and minimise any need for redundancies.
