4 M c Arthur National Remuneration Survey Local Government 2011/12 Introduction by Matthew M c Arthur In association with LGMA National, M c Arthur has again undertaken a review of the remuneration packages being paid to Local Government employees. We are keen to share with you the outcomes of the 2011/2012 National Remuneration Survey for Local Government. This report captures a wide range of significant information which provides invaluable material to Councils wanting to benchmark their current remuneration packages. This year the number of Councils participating has again increased as has the number of positions identified, analysed and presented in a user friendly format. We are proud to again provide the most comprehensive survey of its kind in Australia, covering all positions from Chief Executive Officer/General Manager through to Team Leaders, with 160 Councils participating and nearly 5000 individual positions considered. In line with our ongoing contribution to the sector, participating Councils receive this extensive report on the survey findings free of charge. Participant feedback suggests that this data has assisted Councils to retain and develop top talent in this competitive marketplace and be more proactive in the review of their talent retention strategies. One of these strategies is ensuring that reward and recognition structures are appropriately benchmarked and attractive. The data we have collated will enable detailed and precise analysis of specific jobs within varying sized Councils and within different States, providing critical information for those responsible for ensuring appropriate remuneration levels are identified. In addition to receiving this up to date information M c Arthur consultants are available to provide further more detailed and focused assistance to help you in your decision making. We would like to again thank all who took the time to provide data for the survey and remain confident that you will find the results very useful and beneficial. Regards, Matthew M c Arthur Chief Executive Officer 2 Copyright 2011

5 Remuneration Trends Over the Years The National Remuneration Survey for Local Government has noted the trends emerging within the industry, with this information providing a sound basis for benchmarking decisions by Councils. This year we have again identified significant movements in the remuneration packages paid to Officers in Local Government. While these have often been in line with increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) there have been times when this has been exceeded while on other occasions package increases have failed to reach that figure. Accordingly, over the past year the variances by discipline and Council size need to be taken into consideration. The survey illustrates the emerging remuneration trends which incorporate all managerial or senior positions from Level 1 CEO/General Manager to Level 4 Team Leaders. All data in this survey was current as at 30th September Table 1 and Figure 1 represent the average remuneration packages for CEO/General Managers from CEO/General Managers Average Packages by Council Category Council Category Variance 2010/2011 Variance 2008/2011 Regional 287, , , , % 18.99% Regional 268, , , , % 10.74% Medium Large Rural 253, , , , % 9.58% Rural 190, , , , % 14.64% Small Rural 143, , , , % 27.39% Table 1 Level 1 400, , , , , ,000 Regional Regional Medium Large Rural Rural Small Rural 100,000 50, Figure 1 Nationally the CPI figure for December 2010 to December 2011 was 3.1%. Over the same period the overall average increase in packages for CEO/General Managers as identified in the 2011/2012 Survey was 5.3%. When we look at these figures by Council size we note the following. Councils falling within the Medium Large Rural bracket have achieved a massive 10.15% increase while smaller Councils as opposed to last year when they realised an average increase of only 1.7% have averaged an increase in excess of 6%. At the other end of the scale Large to Metropolitan and have only averaged an increase of less than 2%. When we look at movements over the four year period ( ) we note that the Small achieved the highest increase (27.39%) while the Medium Large realised an increase of only 9.58% Copyright

6 Level 2 Positions Turning to Level 2 positions Directors, Group Managers and Discipline linked General Managers we have some further interesting comparisons. Table 2 and Figure 2 show comparative data for all disciplines over the five year period Job Family Variance 2010/2011 Variance 2007/2011 Engineering Services 142, , , , , % 18.15% Community Services 141, , , , ,917 (0.40%) 17.67% Corporate Services 140, , , , , % 16.46% Regulatory/Statutory Services 138, , , , , % 20.89% Table 2 Level 2 180, , , , ,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 Figure Engineering Services Community Services Corporate Services Regulatory Services Overall, positions at this level and within these disciplines experienced an average increase of just 2.5% over the past 12 months a sharp variation to the average increase of nearly 12% achieved in If we look at the variances over a five year period ( ) we note the significant increase in Regulatory Services of 21% with Engineering and Community Services realising a movement of approximately 18%. In the following pages we will identify the comparative changes across disciplines at Level 2. 4 Copyright 2011

7 Level 2 Community Services Comparisons When we look at individual disciplines the following picture emerges. Table 3 considers Community Services positions and shows an average increase of 5.57% in those Councils categorised as while in a decrease in the average Total Remuneration Package (TRP) of 1.79% was experienced. The biggest winners this year were the Small with an average increase of 9.12%. The overall average variance by Council Category ( ) was 3.8%.

10 Level 2 Regulatory/Statutory Services Comparisons Finally we observe (Table 6) that within the Regulatory/Statutory Services grouping a significant increase in packages of 10.78% within Medium Large while Small saw a decrease in TRP of 0.51%. The overall average increase for Level 2 Regulatory/Statutory positions was 4.1%.

11 Level 3 Positions The following Table shows Level 3 movements in TRP over the past five years. While the Table shows Engineering Services achieved the greatest increase over the past twelve months, across the five year period their increase was relatively low, with Community Services achieving the greatest overall increase over this period.

21 Why international recruitment should not be foreign to Australian Local Government. With skill shortages increasingly affecting both private and public sectors, Australian employers are being forced to cast their nets ever wider to attract the best possible talent.

Our unparalleled experience and expertise is built on three key features: We have the networks Over the last 10 years, our international team has built exceptional working relationships with a wide range of key specialists including migration & visa agents and overseas industry associations. It means we can manage the entire international recruitment project lifecycle, allowing you to concentrate on core business.
