An opportunity is available for Engineers Australia Sydney Division to nominate a replacement representative on the Land and Environment Court Users Group.
The Court Users Group was established in 1996 as a consultative committee comprising of representatives from interested organisations. The Group meets 3 times a year and assists with improving Court services by making recommendations to the Chief Judge about:
• improving the functions and services provided by the Court; and
• ensuring services and facilities of the Court are adapted to the needs of litigants and their representatives.
The Group has an advisory role and has no authority to require any action or change. However its deliberations have been a catalyst for a number of initiatives, such as the 1999 Pre-Hearing Practice Direction and a survey of electronic callover users resulting in significant improvements to callover procedures.
The appointment is for 3 years and can be renewed at the expiration of that period.
Interested members should send their expression of interest and CV to the General Manager Steve Finlay [email protected] by 30 April 2015.
