Aboriginal Advisory Committee Review

Gayinyaga Aboriginal Advisory Committee has provided advice to Council for a number of years on key issues affecting local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The committee’s structure is being reviewed to incorporate representation of communities in the former Guyra Shire Council area, following the merger of the Armidale Dumaresq Council and Guyra Shire Council.

To determine a new committee structure that best represents the interests of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities throughout the shire, Council is working closely with the existing Gayinyaga members and the broader community.

This survey will help identify the community’s preferences for the advisory committee structure, as well as where and how it meets. While it includes a number of identified options, community members are welcome to propose alternatives.
