OSCAR is still waiting for confirmation of the chairperson for the MRECG which Council indicates should happen soon. Once the appointment of the Chair is confirmed the Council will finalise the membership of the MRECG. The Council has advised us that what has been already done includes:

- Venues across the region are booked and dates locked in for face to face community consultation (see below)
- A fact sheet has been developed which will be utilised during the consultation sessions
- The Media and Communications Branch is fully briefed and will mobilise necessary media with the appointment of the MRECG
- A webpage and project email address is being developed that will go live once the consultation commences

Following the consultation, a report will be presented at the December Ordinary Meeting for Council’s consideration.
