Indigenous Representation
The Chairs will continue to seek the local Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) are effectively engaged to bring a
First Nations perspective to ongoing management of the Noosa River and its catchment, including
attendance of a representative at meetings
Presenters
The NRSAC may request a presentation at a meeting from an expert or an organisation to learn 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.
Resignation
NRSAC members may resign at any time by writing to the co-chairs NSC/MSQ (a letter or an email is
acceptable).

It is noted that Members are expected to prioritise personal attendance at NRSAC meetings. Ifa
member misses three consecutive meetings, they will be deemed to have resigned during the term.
Casual Appointments
In the event of departure of a selected member, Noosa Council and MSQ in consultation with an
appointed Chair, may consider the appointment of casual members taking into account:
    e  The that other members may already provide sufficient representation
    e  Disruption to functioning the committee
    e  Experience and quality of any replacement candidates
The Chair may also appoint an additional indigenous representative if a candidate becomes
available.

6.0 NRSAC Meetings
Meeting Frequency
The NRSAC will meet a minimum of 4-5 times per year, approximately every two months outside of
the key visitation period (November to January). An annual calendar for the year will be prepared
and distributed to members prior to the end of the preceding calendar year.
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 Chair of the meeting will prepare and distribute the Agenda taking into account:
       e   Priority topics
       e   Updates from Working Groups
       e   Correspondence from Community in relation to the river
       e   Requests for agenda items raised by Committee members

General business will be a standing item at each meeting, but the ability to respond to issues raised
will be determined by available time.

The Agenda will be circulated to NRSAC members at least one week prior to the meeting.
