Reference Committees
Ku-ring-gai Council values the contributions of individuals and community representatives who become members of community reference committees. The major type of committee supported by Council is the Reference Committee. In addition there are other reference groups, technical panels and associations to which council staff contribute to facilitate open and accountable government.
Ku-ring-gai Council has four Reference Committees:
- Sustainability Reference Committee;
- Community Reference Committee;
- Heritage Reference Committee; and
- Open Space Reference Committee.
The Reference Committees provide a mechanism by which interested residents and experts can play an active role in the formulation of council policy, direction and practice. Reference Committees are an important link in Council's communication strategy with the community and are supported via other community consultative methods.
