Appointment of Councillors to Committees
Published on 19 December 2024
Each year Council appoints representatives to organisations and committees to ensure the City of Whittlesea participates and contributes to local and strategic issues that align to the Council achieving its goals.
Some of these are Community Advisory Committees, others are Standing Committees which are formal committees that advise and recommend to Council.
The Audit and Risk Committee is Standing Advisory Committee established in accordance with the Local Government Act 2020 to monitor and oversee:
- the compliance of Council policies and procedures;
- council financial and performance reporting;
- risk management and fraud prevention systems and controls; and
- council’s internal and external audit functions.
The CEO Employment Matters Committee (CEMAC) is an Advisory Committee appointed for the purpose of assisting Council in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to CEO employment matters. CEMAC must provide for independent professional advice in relation to matters outlined within the CEO Employment and Remuneration Policy.
The Epping Cemetery Trust has been established as a Community Asset Committee pursuant to s 65 of the Local Government Act 2020.
