AM-1.8 Materials Advisory Panel

The Materials Advisory Panel is an informal panel of experienced professionals that comprises the following:

1. Manager: Asset and Infrastructure Planning.
2. TCC and WBoPDC Council Asset Managers (appropriate to the asset/s affected by the material being applied for).
3. The Materials Advisory Panel may also comprise the following:
   1. An independent industry expert (not connected in any way to the material, manufacturer, supplier or Council).
   2. Any other professional the Advisory Panel considers would assist in reviewing the application. (This professional may be a member of Council staff or be an external party. It is not envisaged that such a professional would be required very often).

The Materials Advisory Panel shall convene bi-annually or when a decision of extreme importance is required. This is likely to be a rare occurrence. This ensures a more streamlined and less expensive management process for the Council and applicants.

The Materials Advisory Panel is chaired by the Manager: Asset and Infrastructure Planning.
