COMMENTS/DISCUSSION

In June 2016 the Governance Team engaged Norman Waterhouse Lawyers to undertake an audit of Council’s governance functions. The Governance Audit reviewed Council’s practices as at July 2016.

Councils’ are not legislatively required to undertake an external governance audit. The audit was commissioned in the context of seeking continuous improvement in respect of the governance functions of Council.

During the Audit is was identified that the Terms of Reference for a number of Council’s committees could be refined. As a result of this particular recommendation, the Governance Team has re-written and streamlined the Terms of Reference for all Council committees and working groups.

The new Terms of Reference for the Gawler Youth Advisory Committee are attached to this report (Attachment 1). It is important to note that the Terms of Reference have been created from new templates that have been reviewed by Norman Waterhouse Lawyers for legislative compliance.

Hi Kirsten,

Just letting you know that at the next GYAC meeting, I will be resigning due to work and uni commitments. I definitely want to stay on as a Youth Volunteer, and if things work out later on this year or in future years, I'll definitely join again if I can.

-- Thanks,

Andrew Welch
