Membership to the Committee currently comprises of two Councillors and three external members with the Mayor attending on an ex‐officio basis. It has been resolved to limit external membership on the Committee to a maximum term of 5 years to ensure that sufficient independence is maintained.

However, in the interests of succession planning, Council may consider applicants that have financial expertise in addition to other relevant skills and experience.

Successful applicants will be invited to attend a committee meeting as an observer on the 4 December 2024.
