Council’s Advisory Committees form an integral link between Council and Community. They are forums where community members can provide advice to Council on issues pertinent to a town or specific purpose, guiding the delivery of inclusive services and the development, implementation and delivery of our plans and strategies.
Council officers have reviewed the Advisory Committee Policy which supports Council in ensuring good governance and appropriate management of all advisory committees. Amendments to this policy have been made to remove required membership numbers and state these will be as per the Terms of Reference.
The purpose of the Hindmarsh Pride Committee Terms of Reference is to provide guidelines for the function of this committee which was formed to strengthen the voice of the LGBTIQ+ community.
The purpose of the Town Advisory Committees (Jeparit/Nhill/Rainbow) Terms of Reference is to set the guidelines for the function of these committees with an emphasis on contributing to the improved liveability of our towns. Amendments to these Terms of Reference are proposed to improve the process of appointing members and encourage the planned allocation of funding for supporting activities, events and projects.
Council is seeking feedback on these documents until 5pm on Friday 18 April 2025.
