What the ACT Committee does

The ACT Committee gives members the opportunity to develop strategies to tackle local issues as well as contribute to the national agenda. Committee participants are often called upon to represent Consult Australia in local engagement activities (including meetings with government agencies etc). The ACT Committee meets monthly and requires engaged individuals.

Latest 'top 3 takeaways'

The 'top 3 takeaways' summarise key issues discussed at the last meeting. These are to help the broader membership understand the activities of the ACT Committee.

  1. Proposed Government-Industry secondment program. The Committee discussed and generally supported the invitation by the ACT Chief Engineer to participate in a three-way secondment program for graduates involving consultants, government and contractors.
  2. ACT 2020 Election Policy Platform. The Committee discussed finalisation of the policy platform which will be distributed to stakeholders soon.
