About
On 21 January 2016 Council resolved:
" that Council staff brings a report to a future Council meeting with recommendations for the establishment of a community reference group to participate in the development and monitoring of Council's demand management and water efficiency initiatives and provide input to Council decisions concerning water security for the Shire."
To address Council's resolution it was proposed that Council:
1. Reviews the present Demand Management Strategy and Implementation Plan in the context of the demand reduction achieved to determine the efficacy of the Strategy and Implementation Plan (what has been done, what worked - what did not work and at what cost).
2. Reviews the present Demand Forecasts to determine the assumptions made about the reduction in demand (what has been assumed in the continued reduction in demand and is it realistic).
3. Establishes a Community Reference Group to review the assessment of the Demand Management Strategy and Implementation Plan.
4. Through the Community Reference Group, identifies additional demand management measures to be considered in updating/revising the Demand Management Strategy and Implementation Plan.
5. Analyses proposed demand management measures in terms of cost and achievability and provide the analysis to the Community Reference Group.
6. Through the Community Reference Group's consideration of the analysis, identifies additional demand management and water efficiency measures to be recommended to Council.
7. Through the Community Reference Group, identifies criteria by which the efficacy of the demand management measures can be assessed.
8. Undertakes regular reporting on performance against the criteria.
