In a first for victraders.com we are listing the agenda for
the QVMAC Meeting on Thursday 24th September. This is part of a campaign
to broaden trader understanding of the committee’s activities.
The Queen Victoria Market Advisory Committee is a body
comprising 10 Trader Representatives, members of management including CEO Jan
Cochrane-Harry, and in more recent times, attended by two QVM Board members.
The QVMAC considers a whole range of issues relating to our market and is
particularly relevant as we head into the complexities of market renewal.
Following is the meeting agenda with some explanatory comments
in italics where appropriate. We are unable to give you details of the actual discussion until the minutes have been published and approved by all attendees. That will happen within coming days. By publishing
agendas and minutes it is hoped that all traders will have a better
understanding of the broad range of issues that the committee considers and how
those issues are progressed and actioned.
