Governance Board
The One City Governance Board is an advisory group which brings together representatives from key anchor partners to support the City Office. The Board has an advisory role in the ongoing shape and direction of the City Office and the One City Approach.
Each member of the Governance board has something unique to contribute and collectively members provide the City Office with advice and guidance on key areas including:
- Progress against One City Priorities (as agreed at the Annual City Gathering event).
- Thematic board work programmes.
- The funding and resource position.
- The One City Plan refresh (next due 2025).
