50: Advisory committees

You could also call this:

"The Commissioner can form a group to help them make good decisions for the community."

The Commissioner can choose people to be on a group called an advisory committee to help them do their job. You might wonder what this group does, and the answer is they can help the Commissioner by asking questions, doing research, or writing reports. The Commissioner decides who is on this group and they must think about what the community needs when making this decision.

The Commissioner can also ask the advisory committee to find out information, do some research, or write a report to help them work better. When the Commissioner picks people for the advisory committee, they have to think about what the community is interested in. This helps the Commissioner make good choices for the group.

The Commissioner also gets to decide how much money the people on the advisory committee get paid, and you can find more information about this in Clause 13 of Schedule 3. This is an important part of how the advisory committee works, and it helps the Commissioner make sure everything runs smoothly. The Commissioner has to follow the rules when deciding how much to pay the advisory committee members.
