The Committee and Board consider the remuneration for Executive Management on an annual basis to ensure that the
Company remains competitive and is able to attract and maintain key personnel.
In prior years, remuneration reviews have been based upon benchmark surveys or targeted market research on an
alternating basis. For the 2016 review recommendations, the Committee relied upon benchmark surveys, including Aon
McDonald, AusRem and Godfrey Remuneration Group. Further to this review, the following recommendations were
approved by the Board for FY17:
• TFR for Managing Director increased by 6.7% to $800,000;
• TFR for Chief Growth Officer increased by 7.8% to $420,000; and
• TFR for Chief Financial Officer increased by 7.8% to $420,000.
The following table reflects remuneration components available to executives effective 1 July 2016:
