Regional Consultative Committees
The Regional Consultative Committee arose from the University's commitment to the regional communities in which we are located. The purpose of the Committee is to provide input and advice to the University on matters of strategic and regional significance to ensure we have an authentic voice connecting the University to the community, and help make decisions that are long lasting and fit for purpose.
We have Consultative Committees on all of our campuses. Each campus faces its own set of unique opportunities due to its surrounding footprint, which is why it is vital for us to come together and participate in activities that promote collaboration between the University and the community, ultimately supporting the region's development.
