Committees

Committees form an important part of our interaction with community members and key stakeholders and are one of the ways that can help us deliver on the outcomes identified in the Community Strategic Plan.

‘Committee’ is defined as any Working Group, Reference Group or Delegated Committee providing information, advice, suggestions, and support to Council and staff when determining the best actions moving forward.

Council has undertaken a review of the previous active committees of the former Great Lakes Council, Greater Taree Council, Gloucester Shire Council and MidCoast Water prior to amalgamation.

Initially five new committees are being established:

Economic Development Working Group
Barrington Coast Destination Management Reference Group
Community Inclusion and Wellbeing Reference Group
Heritage Reference Group
MidCoast Council Sport and Recreation Reference Group

Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee

The objective of the committee is to provide independent assurance, oversight and assistance to Council on risk management, control, governance, internal audits, organisational performance and external responsibilities in an advisory capacity.
