East Coast Catchments Steering Committee
Call for Expressions of Interest
The East Coast Catchments Steering Committee was established by the Landscape Recovery Foundation with support from Glamorgan Spring Bay Council to provide community leadership, local expertise, advice and strategic direction for natural resource management in Glamorgan Spring Bay.
The group is currently made up of local community members (see below). Most were previously part of GSBC’s now disbanded Section 24 NRM committee. Committee members have a depth of experience and knowledge of NRM and represent a range of community interests. The current committee has played an important role in the development of the Glamorgan Spring Bay NRM & Climate Resilience Strategy.
We are seeking new committee members to help guide and support the implementation of the strategy.
We are looking for a group of committee members that provide a range of skills and experience that cover:
Geographic representation across the East Coast Catchments.
Industry-based experience in primary production (agriculture, forestry, aquaculture, commercial fishing, viticulture)
Community-based representation on key issues related to conservation and land management
Tourism and local business
Cultural heritage
Communications and marketing
Finance and fund-raising
Stakeholder engagement and partnership development
