Manningham Council has recently appointed a total of 32 new community representatives to four of its advisory committees to help guide Council in meeting community expectations in each of the committees’ subject areas.
The community representatives were officially appointed at the Council meeting on Tuesday 26 April and included:
- 20 new community representatives to the Access and Equity Advisory Committee for a period of two years
- Two new representatives to the Open Space and Streetscape Advisory Committee for a period of four years
- Seven new representatives to the Integrated Transport Advisory Committee for a period of three years
- Three new representatives to the Arts Advisory Committee for a period of three years.
The appointments were made following an expression of interest process for each of the committees earlier this year.
