Local Government Senior Staff Survey

This is a joint survey by Local Government NSW (LGNSW), the United Services Union (USU), the Local Government Engineers' Association (LGEA), and the Development and Environmental Professionals' Association (depa).

LGNSW, USU, LGEA and depa have commenced negotiations for a new award to replace the Local Government (State) Award 2017. As part of this process, the Unions have proposed that all council employees (except for general managers) be covered by the Award or an enterprise agreement underpinned by the Award. This would require amendments to the Local Government (Act) 1993 to remove references to senior staff (except in relation to general managers).

The parties to the Award are seeking your input before reaching a clear position on the issue.

This survey gives you the opportunity to have your say on whether employees in senior staff positions (other than general managers) should be covered by the Award or an enterprise agreement underpinned by the Award.

Responses to the survey are anonymous.
