Report by Executive Director of Development and Infrastructure Services

The Council, at its meeting on 11 February 2016 agreed to undertake a review of advice services.  An independent review was undertaken by ATInnovations in May 2017 which made a number of recommendations to approve the coordination and delivery of advice services but did not cover funding or future delivery models. A report was given consideration which outlined findings in relation to a study undertaken by Regulatory Services in respect of future funding and delivery models for affordable advice services.

Decision

The Policy and Resources Committee –

1.    Agreed in principle the overarching strategy for advice services and the general direction outlined in section 5.5 of the submitted report.

2.    Noted the timelines outlined in the submitted report and the need for consultation with other partners.

3.    Requested that a detailed paper be taken to the Policy and Resources Committee in August 2018.
