LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO. 240
Environment and Conservation Consultative Committee
What changes have occurred to the Environment and Conservation Consultative Committee?
Mr Humphries - the answer to the Member's question is as follows:
The Environment and Conservation Consultative Committee (ECCC) was a non statutory advisory committee whose term expired in December 1995.
That Committee is being replaced by the new ACT Environment Advisory Committee (EAC).
The EAC will have a new structure with a peak committee comprising eight members with particular expertise. The Committee will be served by two sub-committees.
The EAC will put an increased emphasis on longer range strategic matters and a more technical and science-based perspective when providing advice to government. At present, it is proposed that sub-committees will be established to focus on landcare and nature conservation matters.
Appointments of EAC members is awaiting Cabinet endorsement.
