Council Agenda - Kangaroo Island Council - SA.Gov.au

The establishment of the committee and Terms of Reference are put before Council for
establishment and adoption at this point such that arrangements can be made to inform the
youth of Kangaroo Island of this opportunity; whether they be at school or within the general
community. Once the youth have been identified Council will also need to provide a level of
training to the participants such that this committee can operate effectively. Another reason for
the setting of the Terms of Reference is so that Council can begin the application process for
funding for Youth Advisory Committee for 2013-14.
The process moving forward will be:
Return of Youth Engagement model public consultation results to Council – August
2013
Youth engaged and informed about the proposed model and seeking of nominations
from those youth who with to participate.
Training of youth in meeting process et
If, as expected, model is as proposed, then anticipate a September / October 2013
starting time.
Governance Considerations
(relates to consistent management, cohesive policies, guidance, processes and decision-rights for a given area of
responsibility)
Local Government Act 1999 provide basis for establishment of section 41 committees. Terms
of Reference are then adopted for such committees to provide framework.
Risk Management Considerations
(identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks (defined as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, whether
positive or negative) followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and
control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities)
The risk by not acting now will mean a delayed start to youth activities via this model on
Kangaroo Island.
Economic Considerations
(Assessment of likely financial implications of pursuing a course of action)
Costs have been budgeted for in 2013/14.
Social Considerations
(Assessment of likely impacts with the Community)
Youth are the future of Kangaroo Island, and society. Providing a framework by which they can
interact with decision makers, in this case Council, provides them with the opportunity to
engage in the decisions that play significant part in their future.
Environmental Considerations
(Assessment of likely impacts on the environment)
