The Restructure Committee is on track to deliver the most significant change the Burning Seed community has seen since inception.

Purpose

• The purpose of the REC Restructure Committee is to design and execute a community engagement plan in collaboration with the Burning Seed Town Council (Town Council) and the Board of Directors of Red Earth City Pty Ltd (REC) to get community feedback on:

• Which type of entity is favoured by the community and key elements they would like included in the constitution of this entity.

Stage 1

• Stakeholder negotiations.

• Community consultation program (including but not exclusive to survey)

• Drafting a report, including technical recommendations, summarising the outcomes of this community engagement process and delivering a series of recommendations on the ideal structure of the Burning Seed entity based on this data, research into entity types held by regional burns and the knowledge and experience of the RC.
