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.
- Collaborative Forum - The Inaugural Major Projects Canberra / Consult Australia Quarterly Forum is being held on 23 March. The forum objective is to collaborate and share information (Industry best practice and Government priorities), short presentations on the topic of the day (by either Consult Australia or MPC) followed by strategic issues for discussion (People, pipeline, procurement and practise).
- Diversity - The Committee is putting diversity front and centre of the events agenda, for both presenters and audience.
- ACT Registration of Engineers Scheme - The Committee heard an update from the ACT Chief Engineer on the progress of the scheme & framework project. Consult Australia were involved in the first round consultation process (August 2020) and the Chief Engineer understands a second round of consultation is due soon, with Consult Australia seen as an important stakeholder and voice of industry in these discussions.
