A revised Committee structure for the Authority has been approved with effect from the 1st January 2006. Whilst the new structure replaces that which existed previously, the principal functions and Terms of Reference of the predecessor Committees have been absorbed and expanded upon within the new structure, i.e. Planning Committee (previously Integrated Risk Management Planning Committee), Performance Committee (previously Performance Review Committee), Resources Committee (previously Human Resources and Finance Committee).
