Community Enhancement Fund Advisory Committee

 

At the June Ordinary Council Meeting, Shire of Yilgarn Councillors endorsed the Community Enhancement Fund Policy.

 

The policy ensures that as large-scale renewable energy and carbon sequestration projects proceed within the Shire, they deliver lasting positive outcomes for the local community. The Community Enhancement Fund policy establishes a framework for proponents of such projects to share benefits with the host community, consistent with the Shire’s strategic vision and best practices in Australia.

 

To ensure the local community has a voice in the use of the funds contributed via this policy, an advisory committee is to be formed.   The purpose of the Shire of Yilgarn Community Enhancement Fund Advisory Committee is to make recommendations to Council on the dispersal of funds from the Community Enhancement Fund (CEF) in line with the Community Enhancement Fund Policy.

 

The terms of reference provide for three (3) Community Representatives to join the Committee.

 

The Shire of Yilgarn seeks nominations from Community members willing to join the Committee as a Community Representative.

  • Capacity and willingness to commit to the role and responsibilities, and actively participate;
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills; and
