Invitation to join the

MAROUBRA BEACH PRECINCT COMMITTEE

All residents, tenants and property owners within the designated Precinct Committee area Maroubra Beach & South Maroubra are eligible to be members and to be office bearers. However the nominees cannot be from the same family or household.  The Council’s Precinct Committees are convened by residents and supported by Council. They play a vital role in ensuring that future changes in the City of Randwick take residents’ views into account.

PRECINCT COMMITTEE OBJECTIVES

·     To encourage community engagement by developing a sense of community between the Council, community and the local environment

·     To facilitate continuous, clear two-way communication between Randwick City Council and the community

·     To provide a formal system of information transfer between residents, property owners, tenants and Council

·     To encourage residents’ and property owners’ contribution to Council's decision making process.

Precinct Committees have been established to increase the flow of information between the Council and the community and to provide residents with an opportunity to be more active in the decision making process.

Precincts Committees are not decision-making bodies, but act as a conduit moving issues and opinions between the community and Council.

Council’s Community Consultation and Liaison Officer (CCLO) assists Precinct Committees seeking information necessary to make informed decisions and recommendations on matters referred to them by Council.

In order to be effective, Precinct Committees rely on the goodwill of all who attend meetings. Precinct Committees are not to function, in effect, as resident action groups and attempts by an action group or political party to dominate a Precinct Committee or their meeting will ultimately reduce the effectiveness and credibility of that Precinct Committee.
