Advisory Committees

Council advisory committees provide strategic direction and planning on their areas of interest. We encourage community members to actively engage in and provide expertise to us via our committees.

These committees have the capacity to advise or refer matters to Council for a decision they do not have any executive, financial or delegated powers. They have the authority to make recommendations but not to make decisions.

These committees often consist of Councillor representatives, community members, stakeholders or agencies and Council staff and are established to provide strategic advice and feedback in relation to a particular focus area as outlined in the committee’s Terms of Reference.
