Councillors appointed to represent Surf Coast Shire on peak bodies
Published on 05 December 2024
Surf Coast Shire Council has endorsed appointments of councillors to 17 key committees and regional/peak organisations, tackling high priority topics for the remainder of 2024 and for 2025.
Representation on these 17 committees and organisations will ensure Council can engage with different groups and can advocate, represent and provide for the community.
They cover areas including the local government sector, Council advisory committees, culture and tourism, sustainability and health and wellbeing.
“Having representation on these committees and regional and peak organisations ensures Council can have input on a broad range of key community matters,” said Cr Rebecca Bourke.
“We review these appointments annually to ensure our involvement is relevant to our strategic goals, Council Plan objectives and community priorities.”
“I congratulate my fellow councillors for securing representative positions as we continue to work hard in advocating for the Surf Coast Shire,” she said.
