Political advisers working for local councillors will have their duties, employment and remuneration strictly regulated under reforms under consideration by the state government.

But the local government sector has raised multiple concerns about the proposed changes in submissions to Parliament's Economics and Governance Committee, where the bill is under consideration.

If passed through Parliament, the new legislation would require councillor advisers to be appointed by full resolution of council and would employ advisers as council staff under contracts with different disciplinary measures.

Their full remuneration would be published annually, and advisers would also be subject to heavy penalties for misusing information of up to two years' imprisonment.
