PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                             10 AUGUST 2021

 Voting
 It is the intent of NRSAC to achieve consensus wherever possible on matters being considered by the
 Committee.
 Voting would be anticipated in the following circumstances:
        e   Endorsement of the draft minutes
        @  Where the Chair seeks indication of support on an item for discussion, and consensus is
            not clear
 When a vote is conducted, the decision will be recorded as unanimous support, majority support or
 not supported due to a range of different views.
 Each member present is entitled to one vote however they may choose to abstain.
 Subcommittee Groups
 A subcommittee of NRSAC members can be formed to address specific issues, at the approval of
 NRSAC.
 Once formed, the subcommittee can decide how often it meets and appointment of a “chair” or
 “spokesperson”. The general NRSAC meeting should be addressed by the spokesperson from the
 working group to keep members updated on its progress
 The subcommittee will:
    -   Meet out of session to the formal NRSAC meeting to discuss topics in detail
    -   The subcommittee tackles topics in succession, ideally with a program of topics for the next
        12 months
    -   members can opt in or opt out at any time dependent upon the topic of interest
 The subcommittee is to operate to be inclusive of all NRSAC members, and all members are
 welcome to participate in a sub-committee. When meeting notes and a working drafts in response
 to a specific issue are prepared they are to be sent to all NRSAC members for review and
 consideration.
 To be explicit, the subcommittees do not operate with delegations — all matters will need to come
 back to the full NRSAC committee for consideration and formal endorsement.
 A subcommittee may seek broader advice from members of the community to bring back to the
 NRSAC, where it will enhance considerations on the topic.
  Note: when the Terms of Teference where endorsed at the 23 June 2021 meeting, it was noted the proposed
  “single” subcommittee composition as outlined above was appropriate for the forthcoming period of NRSAC
  with a focus on priority topics. Moving forward members reserved the right to review the Terms of
  Reference and Subcommittee composition if required.

 Minutes
 All minutes from meetings of the NRSAC shall be made public on the Noosa Council and MSQ.
