Central Coast Council is inviting community members wanting to take an active role in local affairs to apply for a position on one of several Council advisory committees for 2023.
Applications are now open for community stakeholder representatives on the following committees: Social Inclusion Advisory Committee; Pedestrian Access and Mobility Advisory Committee (PAMP); Mangrove Mountain and Spencer Advisory Committee; and Heritage Advisory Committee.
Successful applicants should have a genuine passion for their selected topic, a willingness to engage with a diverse group of people and be available to attend an advisory group meeting in December and quarterly committee meetings next year.
Due to the voluntary nature of the position, community representatives won’t receive fees or costs for their time.
Council Administrator, Rik Hart, said a community position on an advisory committee is a unique way for residents to have their say.
“Council uses advisory groups to help inform the direction of policies and it’s important that we hear from as many different voices as possible,” he said.
“We know from our regular engagement programs that residents can offer excellent perspectives and I would encourage anyone who has a lived experience, or a particular passion for one of these topic areas to submit an expression of interest.”
Applications for all community advisory positions close at midnight on Sunday, November 13.
