West Coast regional councillors given no choice over 41 per cent pay rise
Christmas 2019 came early for West Coast regional councillors, in the form of a pay rise that raised eyebrows around the Coast.
Courtesy of the Remuneration Authority, the chairman's pay went up to $83,500 – a comfortable 3.5 per cent increase.
But the one that had ratepayers talking was the pay rise for councillors, whose pay went from $36,000 to $51,000 a year.
