CN is seeking to form a CRG which has equal representation from stakeholders/user groups and the broader community, with community members being selected via the EOI process. As Bathers Way and King Edward Park are assets enjoyed by the Greater Newcastle community, membership of the CRG will reflect the diversity of our community.

Should CN receive nominations in excess of the number required, a process will be undertaken to assess applications using a selection criteria assessment matrix.

Selection criteria include:

1. Ability to attend Bathers Way – King Edward Park CRG meetings
2. Representation from a range of suburbs to ensure representation from all wards
3. Representation from a range of ages (above 18yrs of age)
4. People who identify as having lived experience with a disability
5. Represent diverse areas and interests such as, but not limited to: environment and sustainability, urban planning, business and industry, neighbourhood or community groups, young people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, cultural communities
6. Demonstration of ties to their community
7. Demonstration of a commitment to working collaboratively with others

Selection process

Applications will be reviewed by a CN panel. Both successful and unsuccessful applicants will be advised in writing of the outcome.
