The
City of Melbourne is proposing a new governance structure for QVM which will
incorporate Lord Mayor, Sally Capp’s, vision of a trustee committee.
The
Committee of Trustees is to provide strategic advice to Council and will be
chaired by the Lord Mayor, with ten members comprising three market traders,
two community representatives, two independent nominees and a further two
councillors. Expressions of interest will be sought for those vacancies.
It
is intended that the committee will meet 6 times per year. The current
operational structure of the market will continue although the QVM Board will
be reduced in number. Board members retiring at the next AGM will not be
replaced. The Board will continue to perform its important legal obligations in
overseeing the market, and will be strengthened with the CEO of the City of
Melbourne taking a seat.
The
new governance proposal is to be put to Council next Tuesday 31st. July.
