Our Consultative Council

In accordance with our Constitution, we must convene a Consultative Council meeting chaired by the Board Chair at least twice each year. Consultative Council meetings provide a forum that is open to consumer and small business representatives and to all Members for the purposes of:

  • providing updates to and consulting with our key stakeholders
  • providing our key stakeholders with an opportunity to raise issues and to put forward their views
  • contributing to our forward planning.
