Appointments to advisory committees
204 Appointments to advisory committees
Each member of an advisory committee (other than the Basin Officials Committee) is to be appointed by the Authority by written instrument.
An appointee may be reappointed: see section 33AA of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
To be eligible for appointment as a member of the Basin Community Committee, an individual must be nominated by the Murray‑Darling Basin Ministerial Council and must have a high level of expertise or interest in:
community, indigenous or local government matters relevant to the Basin water resources; or
irrigated agriculture; or
environmental water management.
The Authority must have called for expressions of interest from the public before appointing a member of the Basin Community Committee (see subsection 202(6)).
An instrument of appointment may determine the terms and conditions of the appointment, including remuneration and allowances.
The Authority may, in writing, terminate the appointment at any time.
An appointee may resign his or her appointment by giving the Authority a written resignation. The resignation takes effect on the day it is received by the Authority or, if a later day is specified in the resignation, on that later day.
