Community Asset Committees are established by Council under the Local Government Act 2020 with specific delegated powers and functions to manage Council-owned or controlled assets in our shire.

Members are volunteers and are appointed to the committees by the CEO for a fixed term of three years. Council encourages all members of the community to consider applying when positions become available.

At present, nominations are open for all committees except the Glenlyon Recreation Reserve Community Asset Committee which is at capacity.
