Under section 355 of the Local Government Act 1993, Council is able to delegate some of its functions to a committee of Council. Council uses this delegation and appoints community people to manage its facilities or functions through a committee of management. Management committees provide an opportunity for local communities to develop ownership of facilities and services and play an active role in the provision of them. Tamworth Regional Council fully acknowledges and appreciates the valuable contribution made by members of the community who serve as a member of the section 355 Community Committees. This is an important role providing a valuable contribution to the respective local communities that we serve. There are presently forty four section 355 Committees.
