- Independent Presiding Member (Chair) and

This committee supports the Shire in fulfilling its responsibilities for oversight in areas such as financial audit, risk management, and continuous improvement, in compliance with the Local Government Act 1995 and associated regulations.
We encourage applications from professionals with experience in:

This is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the transparency, accountability and continuous improvement of the Shire.
