Advisory committees
Council has a number of internal and external advisory committees to support our decision making.
In addition to Councillors and Council staff, external committee membership includes representatives from relevant stakeholder or interest groups and where appropriate, representatives from the community.
The purpose and membership structure of each advisory committee is set out in its terms of reference.
These committees are not decision-making bodies and do not carry executive authority, which remains with Council and delegated officers.
