The roles of the Palmerston Wellbeing Advisory Committee are:
- Provide advice to Council about strategies, programs and initiatives which increase access, inclusion and participation of people from the community, in accordance with legislation and council policy.
- Consider and endorse recommendations from its associated Networks to put forward for Council's consideration.
- Provide a structure through which the views and interests of the Palmerston community can be articulated for the attention of Council on inclusion matters.
