The ‘ACLCA National Committee’ is collectively formed from two (2) representatives from each of ACLCA’s State Chapters: WA; SA; QLD; NSW and VIC. Each ‘ACLCA State Chapter’ is supported by an ‘Executive Officer’ (EO).
The key objectives of ‘ACLCA National’ are to, through regular meetings and associated communications:
- Promote national alignment of State Chapters in relation to contaminated land matters, especially those that are relevant to our consulting industry
- Provide an opportunity for knowledge sharing and collaboration between the State Chapters
- Facilitate continuing professional development (CPD) across the contaminated land industry and, in turn, promote best environmental consulting practice.
A key role in supporting achieving the above objectives is the ‘ACLCA National Chair’, which is, in turn, supported by a ‘National Secretariat’ (the Secretariat).
Whilst further information is outlined in the attached Position Description (PD), the role of ACLCA National Chair is important for the effective functioning of ACLCA National Committee and being a central point of liaison with industry bodies, such as ALGA, CRC CARE and EIANZ where national engagement is of benefit to the ACLCA State Chapters and their associated member companies, in addition to promoting at a national level, the role and expertise of member companies in the industry, amongst others.
