Summary of the Scheme
The Scheme is an employer-sponsored superannuation
fund for ‘executive’ employees (see ‘Who can be a member?’ above
) of participating employers from certain Local
Government bodies in NSW. In this PDS, all participating
employers are called ‘Local Government employers’.
The Scheme has been designed to provide you with
flexible superannuation that you can tailor to address your
lifestyle needs, both now and in retirement.
Your employer contributes to the Scheme on your behalf.
You have a large degree of control over the pace at which
you contribute to your retirement benefits.
In the meantime, the Scheme also provides benefits in the
event of your death, invalidity and on leaving employment
with a participating employer.
If you are no longer employed by a participating employer,
you cease to be eligible to remain as a contributory
member in this Scheme and any cover you have for
basic insurance will cease. Further information can be found
in the PDS.
The Scheme is governed by a Trust Deed. When you join
the Scheme you are bound by the Trust Deed.
Warning: Due to superannuation laws and depending
on individual circumstances, members may not be
