Gunnedah Shire Council is calling for community members to join one of three economic development working groups.

Gunnedah Shire Council Director Planning and Environmental Services Andrew Johns said Council was seeking expressions of interest to join:

• the Gunnedah Shire Economic Development Working Group
• the Gunnedah Shire Skills and Training Working Group
• and/or the Gunnedah Shire Business Partner Program Advisory Group.

“Community members bring invaluable experience and insights to these important working groups,” Mr Johns said.

“The Economic Development Working Group works towards growth and balance in our economy. The Skills and Training Working Group looks at where growth is needed to help meet our business and industry needs, and the Business Partner Program Advisory Group is instrumental in guiding this important program and reviewing applications.

“If you are passionate about our economy and have knowledge and experience you think would be useful, we encourage you to apply for the appropriate group.

“Group members work together with elected Council representatives to help Gunnedah Shire’s economy to grow while keeping the lifestyle balance so important to our residents.”

Group members are appointed for two-year terms, and the working groups meet bi-monthly on dates and times yet to be determined.

Nominations for each working group close at 5pm on Friday, March 18. Applications forms are available at the Council Administration Centre in Elgin Street, or click below for:
