Governance and Management
The Copping Refuse Disposal Site Joint Authority was established as a Joint Authority in 2001 under the Local Government Act 1993
The Authority’s objectives include the management and operation of the refuse disposal site at Copping in accordance with its Development Proposal & Environmental Management Plan and Permit conditions, and the provision, on or off the site, of other services and facilities that assist in achieving the organisation’s goals.
Under the rules of the Joint Authority, members are required to manage the whole site by operating efficiently in accordance with sound commercial practice and environmentally sound principles to maximise the net worth of the Authority’s assets.
The Authority consists of four Members appointed by Participating Councils, who may be either elected Councillors or Council employees:
- Clarence City Council: one Member entitled to exercise four votes
- Kingborough Council: one Member entitled to exercise two votes
- Sorell Council: one Member entitled to exercise two votes
- Tasman Council: one Member entitled to exercise one vote.
A Participating Council may also appoint a Councillor or Council employee as a Deputy Member to act in place of any Councillor appointed by the Participating Council.
In its governance, the Authority concentrates on:
- the periodic review of the performance of the Board and of individual Directors;
- the setting of the terms of office and the remuneration of Directors;
- setting the goals and objectives of the authority, reflected in the Strategic Plan;
- the approval of the Strategic Plan and the Business Plan and Budget; and
- representing the best interests of all Participating Councils.
