Membership of each subgroup is dependent on the situation however a suggested membership
for each subgroup is provided in the subgroup’s terms of reference.

Local advisory groups may be stablished to enable members of the local community, including
people affected by the event and representatives from local organisations, to meet and to provide
input and guidance to the LRG and subgroups on such issues as community needs and service
delivery. The formation and composition of any local advisory group is at the discretion of the
LRG and is dependent on the needs of the community. Members may include:
 Economic – chambers of commerce, progress associations, individual/major businesses

meet regularly to perform their functions. Meetings of the LRG shall be at times and in places as
determined by the Chair of the LRG.

3.1.9   Records of meetings

The LRG and each subgroup will keep minutes of all meetings. In addition, the LRG is to develop
