At its February meeting the Hunter JO Board endorsed the establishment of two new regional networks to be convened by the JO;
- Regional Economic Development Forum
- Regional Planning Forum
These forums engage staff across all ten-member councils, to collaborate and share knowledge on key strategic priorities.
The forums will aim to:
- Facilitate operational alignment and collaborative design, delivery and resourcing of regional economic development and land use planning strategies and initiatives,
- Facilitate networking & knowledge sharing between Councils, agencies and other key stakeholders in these regionally important areas; and
- Provide a consultative forum to assist the JO more effectively represent member Council interests and viewpoints.
