                    Members Tenure
                     • Members are appointed for an initial term of either two years or
                        eighteen (18) months.
                     • At the conclusion of each term, members may be reappointed at
                        the discretion of Noosa Council.
                     • To maintain an effective balance of continuity, capability and
                        fresh perspectives, Noosa Council may review and vary
                        membership from time to time.
                     • Reappointment is not automatic and will take into consideration
                        a member's attendance, contribution, alignment with the
                        purpose of the NDSC and the skills and representation required
                        by the Committee.

                      capacity only.

                      Observing Councillors are not members of the Committee and are
                      not entitled to participate in discussions, contribute to decision-

                  may terminate a member's appointment at its discretion where:
                       • The member fails to attend three (3) consecutive meetings
                            without reasonable explanation or prior notification.
                       • The member consistently demonstrates low levels of
                            participation or contribution that materially limit their ability to

                       • The member acts in a manner that is inconsistent with the
                            purpose, values, objectives or Code of Conduct (tbd) of the
                            NDSC.
