2.5 Daily fee – preparation for meetings: The daily fee for a formal meeting includes a component to cover normal preparation time, but where the chairperson of the authority considers the period of preparation time involved is so unusual as to warrant recognition that period may be included as business of the authority.
2.6 Daily fee – minimum hours: An office-holder shall be paid the daily fee in respect of such period, not less than three hours, on any one day on which he or she attends a formal meeting of the authority, and/or is engaged on business of the authority other than normal preparation time for a meeting, subject to the following conditions.
2.6.1 The chairperson, or nominated presiding officer, shall in each case certify whether the period of three hours has elapsed and in so certifying may have regard to reasonable travelling time incurred by an office holder away from the metropolitan area of the capital city or the environs of the town in which he or she lives.
2.6.2 The maximum payment in respect of any one day shall be the appropriate daily fee.
2.7 Part-payment of daily fee – meeting days: An office-holder may be paid in respect of formal meetings of less than three hours subject to the following conditions:
(a) for formal meetings aggregating less than two hours, an amount equal to two-fifths of a daily fee;
(b) for formal meetings, or formal meetings and business of the authority on the day of a formal meeting, of two hours or more, but less than three hours on any one day, an amount equal to three-fifths of a daily fee;
(c) the maximum payment in respect of any one day shall be the appropriate daily fee;
(d) eligibility for each payment shall be certified by the chairperson or nominated presiding officer and in so certifying the chairperson may have regard to reasonable travelling time in accordance with subclause 2.6.1; and
(e) preparation time shall only be included in accordance with clause 2.5.
2.8 Aggregation of hours for daily fee – non-meeting days: An office-holder may also be paid a daily fee in respect of aggregates of periods of business of the authority of less than three hours, subject to the following conditions:
(a) individual periods of business must be on other than formal meeting days and each period must be for a minimum of one hour;
(b) to attract payment of a daily fee, aggregated periods shall total at least five hours;
(c) the maximum payment in respect of any one day shall be the appropriate daily fee;

(e) preparation time shall only be included in accordance with clause 2.5.
2.9 Daily Fees – travelling on non-meeting days: Where an office holder must undertake official travel on a non-meeting day, the chairperson or nominated presiding officer may determine that the office holder is engaged on business of the authority for the period of that travel and is therefore entitled to receive all or part of the appropriate daily fee in accordance with subclause 2.6.1 and 2.6.2.
2.10 Daily Fee – Superannuation Complaints Tribunal (SCT): The following sub-clauses apply, (and clauses 2.5 to 2.9 do not apply) in relation to a person who holds an office as a member of the SCT on a part-time basis.
