Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee

The Local Government Amendment (Governance and Planning) Act 2016 (s 428A) requires that Councils’ appoint an Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee. However, they are not required until 6 months after the next ordinary election of councillors. Despite this, Coffs Harbour City Council has decided to establish the committee, due to the benefits it provides to Council’s Governance arrangements.

The following have been appointed to this committee:

  • Mr Peter Van Der Eijk (Chair) - (09/02/2023, Res 2023/39)
  • Mr Andrew MacLeod (Voting Member) - (09/02/2023, Res 2023/39)
