Shellharbour City Council is inviting community members to apply for positions on its committees.

As a community representative, you will have the opportunity to advocate for and represent the community by providing valuable input and advice within your chosen committee.

The appointment term is two years, with the possibility of an extension. Meetings are held as needed.
