Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

These regulations set the salaries and expense allowances for members of the Pipeline Authority, a Commonwealth government body responsible for pipeline infrastructure.

Who is covered

The Executive Member (full-time role)
The Chairman (part-time)
Other part-time members (who aren't already Australian Public Service officers)

What it provides

Executive Member: $26,700 annual salary plus $1,200 allowance (for service before 1 January 1974)
Chairman: $6,450 per year (part-time rate for service before 1 January 1974)
Other part-time members: $2,600 per year (for service before 1 January 1974)
Travel allowance: $28 per day when members (except the Executive Member) must stay overnight away from home for work duties—this covers accommodation/meals but not transport costs

Historical note: These rates applied only to service periods before 1 January 1974, suggesting these were initial transitional rates when the Authority was first established.
