NSW mayors and councillors are set to receive an increase in fees from 1 July.
The remuneration tribunal has determined an increase of 3% will apply for the next financial year.
The tribunal has also reviewed the remuneration categories of councils and mayoral offices, and created two new categories – Metropolitan Major, and Rural Large.
26 councils have been re-categorised into a higher or new category as a result of the review.
