9. Tenure of      9.1 Membership of the NDSC
   NDSC Members       To maintain institutional knowledge, encourage active member
                      participation, and ensure a staggered refresh of membership:

                      •   Member organisations, and individual community members are
                          appointed for an initial term of either two years or eighteen (18)
                          months.
                      •   At the conclusion of each term, member organisations and
                          individual community members may be reappointed at the
                          discretion of Noosa Council.
                      •   Noosa Council may review and vary membership (e.g., seek new
                          members) from time to time, to maintain an effective balance of
                          continuity, capability and fresh perspectives.
                      •   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.
                      •   Noosa Council is represented on the NDSC by the Mayor and
                          one other Councillor representative.
                      •   The Council representative will serve a one-year term before the
                          role is rotated to another Councillor, at the discretion of Noosa
                          Council.

                      Renumeration and/or disbursements may be considered if necessary to
                      access required skills and advice.



                  9.2 Noosa Council Councillor Participation
                      Councillors who are not formally appointed as NDSC
                      representatives may attend meetings in an observer capacity only.

                      Observing Councillors are not members of the NDSC and are not
                      entitled to participate in discussions, contribute to decision-making
                      processes, or vote on NDSC matters.


10. Termination   10.1 Termination of Membership
                  To ensure the NDSC remains effective, constructive, and representative
                  of its intended purpose, Noosa Council in consultation with the Chair
                  may terminate a member organisation or individual community
                  member’s appointment at its discretion where:

                      •   The member organisation, or individual community 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
                          fulfil the responsibilities of membership.
                      •   The member organisation, or individual community member
                          acts in a manner that is inconsistent with the purpose, values,
                          objectives, or Terms of Reference of the NDSC (see section
                          11.5).
