IT will take about 100 days for public confidence to be restored in the trouble-plagued Logan City Council, according to mayor Darren Power.
Speaking at a private swearing-in ceremony, Cr Power said that delivering the budget was a priority for council.
"It is a big week for inductions and doing our homework. The budget is the first issue we will be looking at and it's a concern none of us have seen the books in the past 12 months," he said.
Logan politics had a big shake up after the entire council was stood down after charges were laid against some councillors by the Crime and Corruption Commission in May last year.
Local government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe appointed an interim administrator, leaving council unable to pass a budget, appoint an acting mayor or pass a resolution to delegate matters to a standing committee or the chief executive.
Cr Power said this year would see councillors getting out into the community.
"We have a mixed bag of councillors, but Logan is not like any other council," he said.
The mayor's core goal would be to get big companies back into Logan and more employment in the city.
He touched on priorities for the area, including more sporting clubs at Flagstone, road networks - citing the Mount Lindesay Highway as an issue - as well as over-development with a lack of infrastructure in the south of the city.
"It's up to the councillors now. They are out there communicating with the community. They are closest to the public and it's time they delivered on their list of promises," he said.
Cr Power did not comment on whether councillors would get a pay rise.
