If you live in a rural or coastal area and would like to strengthen your community now and into the future, the Council is calling for passionate people to join its newly established Rural and Coastal Advisory Group.
Councillor Aidan Ellims says the group will help ensure Council’s work is grounded in a deep understanding of rural and coastal life.
“We’re looking for a mix of people who have strong local knowledge, practical ideas and live experience in their communities to bring fresh perspectives to work collaboratively with the Council.”
Expressions of interest will be open from Friday 20 March to Tuesday 7 April for the appointment of four to six people for the 2025–28 triennium. Details and application information are available on Council’s website.
Appointments will be made following a selection process by councillors and the Mayor. Successful applicants will attend quarterly meetings each year. Reading prior to the meetings and occasional additional engagement (such as workshops, emails
or surveys) may also constitute the role of members of RCAG.
“We want to ensure our work with rural and coastal communities is effective and informed so that these communities are empowered to thrive.”
