42641 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Local Government: Are Crown negotiators for regional deals entitled to the same expense reimbursement rules as Crown board members (actual and reasonable costs only), or do they have a separate allowance structure?

Hon Simon Watts: While the specific terms of their contracts are commercially sensitive, they do include an allowance for reimbursement of actual and reasonable expenses. I am advised that online meetings will be prioritised to minimise costs.
