s355 Committees

Section 355 committees operate under the banner of Council to provide assistance in carrying out some of our functions. 

We have a number of committees that oversee the management of community facilities including parks and reserves, community centres and floodgates.

Section 355 Committee Induction & Information Sessions

Council invites all newly appointed and reappointed section 355 committee members to attend an induction/information session. Members have been emailed the information and/or the information has been emailed to a member of your committee for distribution.

Please note: Clarence and Lower Clarence Sports Committees will have a separate induction and do not need to attend these sessions.

Sessions are being held on the following days/times:

  • Thursday 22 May, 2:00-3:30pm at the Grafton Council Chambers, 2 Prince Street Grafton. Committee members are invited to stay and network with other committee members from 3:30-5:00pm.
  • Tuesday 27 May, 5:00-6:30pm at the Maclean Council Chambers, 50 River Street Maclean. Committee members are invited to stay and network with other committee members from 6:30-7:30pm.
  • Wednesday 28 May, 5:00-6:30pm online via Microsoft Teams.

We have scheduled the in-person sessions to support committee members to come together, meet each other, and share information/ideas.

Other community members who are interested in joining a section 355 committee are welcome to join.

Please email governance@clarence.nsw.gov.au with your name, committee (or committee you would like to join), and preferred session date. We will send you an email invitation confirming your place at the session, by 20 May.
