GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                                         18 JANUARY 2021

      Role of Other Meeting Attendees
      Elected Representatives
     The Mayor, or her delegate, will participate in the Plenary Forum as co-Chair.
     The Member for Noosa will be invited to participate in any Plenary Forums as an observer to allow
     her to hear the advice and recommendations and to identify opportunities for advocacy to the state
     government.
     A Councillor will sit on each Working Group as an observer and is able to contribute viewpoints but
     not vote.
      Local and State Government Officers
     The Chairs will liaise with and invite, where necessary, technical representatives of relevant
     functional areas of Noosa Council and the State Government.
     Observers
     On occasion, external stakeholders may have an interest in an item on the agenda or a member may
     wish to bring a guest to a meeting. Observers are welcome to attend meetings with the approval of
     the Chair provided in writing prior to the meeting. The Chair should consider the content of the
     meeting before granting (or possibly refusing) permission.
     Noosa Shire Council Mayor or the Queensland Government Member for Noosa may forward items
     to the co-chairs for discussion and/or attend meetings as an observer.
      Presenters
     The NRSAC may request 4 presentation at a meeting from an expert or an organisation to lear more
     about a specific issue. Suggestions for presentations should come from, and be agreed by, members
     of the NRSAC. The presenter should provide a copy of their presentation to be circulated with the
     meeting minutes.
      NRSAC Meetings
     The NRSAC will meet 4-5 times per year, approximately every two months outside of the key
     visitation period (November to January). This may include a mix of Plenary Forums (e-g. to finalise
     Noosa River Plan) and Working Groups meetings. An annual calendar for the year will be prepared
     and distributed to members prior to the end of the preceding calendar year.
     Members will prioritise personal attendance at these meetings. If a member misses three
     consecutive meetings, they will be deemed to have resigned during the term.
     Additional meetings may be convened by the Chair to discuss a pressing matter. In recognition of the
     potential inability for members to attend at short notice, no vote will be undertaken at one of these
     meetings.
      Meeting Agenda
     The chairs from NSC and MSQ will send a meeting reminder and call for agenda items from NRSAC
     members no later than two weeks prior to the meeting. A final agenda will be approved by the co-
     chairs and will be circulated to NRSAC members at least one week prior to the meeting.
