Wagga Wagga City Council is calling for expressions of interest from community and industry members to join Council committees and help guide our region’s future.
A total of 22 vacancies are available on the Australia Day Committee, Floodplain Risk Management Committee, Major Events Advisory Panel, Museum of the Riverina Community Committee, and Public Art Panel.
Manager Governance & Risk Ingrid Hensley is especially encouraging women and people from diverse backgrounds with relevant experience to apply.
“Similar to our campaign in the lead up to the local government elections, we’re hoping to motivate a wider range of community representatives to get involved,” Ms Hensley said.
“Being on a committee would be an ideal experience for someone who perhaps wasn’t quite ready to become a councillor but wants to be involved and make a meaningful contribution.
“Councillors rely on committees to provide advice, talk to people in the community and bring back suggestions and ideas, and make recommendations to Council.
“The greater diversity we have on Council’s committees, the better we can represent our entire community in the huge range of programs and projects we deliver.”
