Councillor representation on various internal and external committees was endorsed at an Extraordinary Meeting of Council late last week.

One long standing committee that isn’t mentioned in the list below is Economic Development as its function and role is under review, along with a restructure of Council’s Economic Development department.

“The Community Strategic Plan exercise is revealing new opportunities that should be explored,” says Mayor Neil Reilly.

A review of all existing internal committees will be undertaken in September to determine if any other are required. At this stage, consideration of the need for an Aboriginal Advisory Committee and a Rural Lands Committee has been mooted.
