Auckland Mayor Len Brown and councillors have received a 2.3 per cent pay rise from the independent Remuneration Authority.
Mr Brown's salary will increase from $259,500 to $265,500 and councillors' salaries will rise from $101,900 to $104,250.
The salary of deputy mayor Penny Hulse increases from $146,200 to $149,600.
Manurewa-Papakura councillor Calum Penrose said he and Franklin councillor Bill Cashmore did not think the increase was justified and wanted the governing body to reject the increase.
The authority has given increases of between 3.4 per cent and 6 per cent to Local Board members.
