2016-12-12 General Committee - Attachment 1 to Item 9 - NBRF Annual Report

QUARTERLY REPORT TO COUNCIL – Q1 FY 2017




   We are currently reviewing further appointments.

   The Board will also consider in the New Year whether an independent review of certain
   aspects of our Constitution may be appropriate; including Board appointments.

   The Board approved a Charter which incorporates most aspects of our Governance regime;
   we will use that as a basis for an overview of our policies and procedures to ensure they
   are still relevant and that we are compliant. This would include, for example, policies on
   Conflicts of Interest, Work Place Health and Safety, etc.

   The position of Executive Officer established in July 2015 is still under review. Contracted
   administrative assistance is appropriate for our current circumstances.


   8. Conclusion
   The NBRF board is grateful for the ongoing support of the Noosa Council – we appreciate
   that your support for our activities places us in a unique position of demonstrative success
   in terms of Biosphere Reserves globally.

   We would welcome the opportunity to present to Council should your schedule permit.

   On behalf of
   The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation Limited

   Chairman
