SECTION 1: STRATEGIC PLANNING MATTERS 1/1 Burnett Mary Regional Group Board Structure Re: Minute: P02/07/08 Burnett Mary Regional Group Board Structure From: David Brown, Chief Executive Officer File: 6/6/06/0009 Date: 19 June 2008 Gympie Regional Council Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 2nd July 2008 - 4 - “The announcement of the new Commonwealth programme “Caring for our Country” has resulted in substantial funding changes that have had and will have significant impacts on the operations of the Burnett Mary Regional Group. Over the next twelve months, there will be a marked downturn in expenditure by the Group as the Commonwealth rolls out its new priorities and method of funding projects around the country. As regional bodies and their partners will be expected to bid for project funding there will be considerable pressure on overheads. BMRG has already reviewed its staff structure and over the next three months there will be a progressive reduction in numbers. As part of this broader review, the Board has also looked at its role, functions and structure and determined that it too needs to reduce its overall costs. In addition to reducing the number of meetings per year, the Board has reviewed its structure in terms of its representation nature and the need for appropriate skills in a new environment. The Governance Sub-Committee considered a number of options for the Board structure, including changing the organisation into a company, and changing to a skills based appointment Board. The Sub-Committee has recommended to the Board that, for the next year at least, the organisation retain it representative Board structure but reduce the number of directors on the Board from 12 [plus the Chairman] to 7 [plus the Chairman] as shown below. Current Proposed Primary Industry Burnett Primary Industry Primary Industry Mary Secondary/Tertiary Industry Secondary/Tertiary Industry Local Government – Burnett North Regional Government Local government – Burnett South Local Government – Mary Traditional Owner (Male) Traditional Owner Traditional Owner (Female) Community – Landcare Community – Landcare/Catchment Care Community – Catchment Community – Coastal Community – Coastal Community – Conservation Community – Conservation The Basis for this proposal is that the Board retains a broad representative structure and reflects recent changes in local government while at the same time reducing the number of directions and overall costs associated with Gympie Regional Council Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 2nd July 2008 - 5 - running a Board. The selection criteria for Directors currently allows for appropriate skills to brought to the board as required. After due consideration the Board accepted the recommendation of the Governance Sub-Committee but resolved that prior to making a final decision and before putting any changed to an Annual General Meeting, it would seek the views of the members. Accordingly, I would appreciate your views on the proposed structure above. Please write to our address PO Box 501, Bundaberg 4670 or email to [email protected]. Report: (Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1.0 BMRG Board Structure The letter from Burnett Mary Regional Group (BMRG) is self explanatory. It is seeking to reduce its operating costs following the recent substantial funding changes. Subsequently it is proposing a reduction in the number of meetings and directors. Council’s views are sought in relation to the new Board structure. 2.0 Biosphere governance In its nomination of the Great Sandy area for biosphere status BMRG proposes that the community governance system for the biosphere be run by the BMRG Board. Under the proposed new structure local government
