Expressions of interest open – new Western Australian state advisory sub-committee
Following the success of the June Parking Australia networking event, and the strong local interest from Western Australian-based members, a Parking Australia WA state advisory sub-committee will be established.
Focus
- Develop (within Parking Australia Board delegations and decisions), networking opportunities that assist in information sharing and members expanding their businesses.
- Provide local assistance in the planning and implementation of Parking Australia WA-based national and local activities.
- Support Parking Australia in local member engagement in WA.
Role and involvement
- Provide local input and ideas, and where agreed undertake specific actions (e.g. to access venues and speakers) as volunteers (without decision-making authority or a separate budget allocation).
- Engage so that a topic and local speaker/s for the first regular Parking Australia networking event (Perth, Wednesday 26 February 3.00pm – 6.00pm) are recommended and finalised well before the end of the calendar year.
- Operations, logistics and focuses to be determined in the first meeting (ideally meeting before the end October). Noting the local support role and Parking Australia governance, final decision-making and budget will be within the remit of the Parking Australia Board/CEO.
- Established initially for a year (mid-late 2024 on).
Sub-committee membership
- WA-based Parking Australia Director/s (chair of the sub-committee).
- Five people from Parking Australia members who are based in WA (ideally no more than one person from a member organisation).
- As a matter of courtesy and respect given their standing in the Association, WA-based Life Members will be invited to participate on the sub-committee.
- Parking Australia will consider breadth of the industry, diversity, and inclusive opportunities in determining the membership of the sub-committee.
Colleagues within Parking Australia members are invited to pop a brief (200-word maximum) outline of their interest to the Parking Australia CEO (ceo@parking.asn.au) COB Wednesday 16 October (you are welcome to call Jeremy to discuss prior). Please note that the sub-committee will be appointed with a focus on involvement from a range of members and a diversity of the wider membership.
The state advisory sub-committee will be established in mid-late October, with the first meeting to occur as soon as practical once EOIs close.
