Remuneration arrangements Maximum aggregate remuneration The aggregate remuneration that may be paid to Non-executive Directors in any year is capped at a level approved by security holders. Security holders at the 2016 Annual General Meeting approved the current aggregate fee pool of $3,000,000 per year (inclusive of superannuation contributions). Non-executive Director fees The Remuneration, People and Culture Committee regularly reviews Non-executive Director fees and such reviews include periodic benchmarking against other publicly listed entities of a similar size and complexity to Transurban. A review of Non-executive Director fees (base Director and Committee fees) was undertaken during FY22. The Remuneration, People and Culture Committee recommended, and the Board subsequently resolved that Non-executive Director fees remain unchanged for the 2022 calendar year. The last increase in NED fees was 1 January 2018.
Remuneration policy The following diagram sets out the key objectives of the Group’s Non-executive Director remuneration policy and how they are achieved through the Group’s remuneration framework: Securing and retaining talented, qualified Directors Director fee levels are set with regards to: the responsibilities and risks attached to the role, the time commitment and workload expected, the Director’s experience and expertise, and market benchmark data. Preserving independence and impartiality Director remuneration consists of base (Director) fees and Committee fees. No element of Director remuneration is ‘at risk’ (i.e. fees are not based on the performance of the Group or individual Directors). Aligning Director and security holder interests Directors are encouraged to hold Transurban securities and the Board has endorsed minimum security holding guidelines for Directors.
