Council Committees
When the former Councils of Evandale, Ross, Campbell Town, Longford and part of Fingal were amalgamated to create the Northern Midlands Council in 1993, there was a high level of concern across the municipal area about the loss of the local Council presence and availability. It was decided to establish four District Forums / Committees at Ross, Campbell Town, Evandale and Avoca, Royal George & Rossarden as Special Committees of Council. Council has since introduced additional Special Committees for the Perth, Longford and Cressy areas.
Residents, representatives from community interest groups, organisations and local business owners are invited to apply for membership of a District Committees representing the communities of:
- Campbell Town (& surrounding areas including Conara, Epping Forest, Cleveland & Lake Leake)
- Cressy (& surrounding areas including Blackwood Creek & Poatina)
- Evandale (& surrounding areas including Western Junction, Breadalbane, Deddington, Nile & Ben Lomond)
- Longford (& surrounding areas including Bishopsbourne, Toiberry & Liffey)
- Ross (& surrounding areas including Tooms Lake)
As a Special Committee of Council, members will be appointed and meet in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
It should be noted that membership is subject to registration as a Council Volunteer, which includes the requirement to provide evidence of Working with Vulnerable People registration.
Membership appointment is for a 2-year term, the term of membership commences in July and concludes in June. The current membership term is for the period July 2024 to June 2026.
The Committee acts in an advisory capacity only, and the purpose of these Committees is to:
- Be a communication channel and conduit for information between Council and the Committee’s local community
- Identify any needs, concerns and expectations of the local community by way of community consultation and engagement
- Consider and provide written feedback to Council in respect to matters referred to the Committee by Council for consultation.
Hard copy membership application forms are available on request by emailing council@nmc.tas.gov.au or phoning 03-63977303.
