QVMAC Meeting Agenda

Following is the agenda for today's (Thursday 28th January 2016) meeting of the Queen Victoria Market Advisory Committee. 

We would like to have given traders more of  heads-up on what is to be discussed although the final agenda was only received yesterday. Some of the trader issues have been progressed and/or highlighted on these pages over recent weeks. 

We will be aiming for at least a weeks notice in future. This will be particularly important as these meetings go from bi-monthly to monthly, and we ramp up discussions over renewal. On that subject we note that we get to formally meet Joanne Wandel, the new Renewal Program Director at today's meeting.

Expect a summary of the discussions in the next few days on Victraders.com.
