What the NT Committee does

The NT 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 NT 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 NT Committee.

1. Engagement - The Committee has secured a meeting with Power Water (PWC) CEO Djuna Pollard and Chief Procurement Officer Justin McKenzie to discuss PWC's current strategy and pipeline approach. Members are seeking a transparent forward pipeline to assist in their project planning and to enable them to meet PWC project needs. The Committee will also be discussing a number of procurement issues such as use of panels, tender timeframes and contract conditions.
2. Recruitment and retention - The Committee noted recruitment and retention as a current market concern. The Committee are working on a strategy to connect with and educate government on the severity of the challenge and the impact on project delivery. 
3. Advocacy - The Committee will continue to work with the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism as they begin to implement the new Value for Territory framework. In doing so, the Committee members will be attending industry sessions and focused discussions on those points of interest for consultants.
