Local Community Development Committee (LCDC)
The Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) are currently looking for one Environment Representative for their committee. Are you interested?
This local decision-making structure draws on the expertise and experience of public and private actors within the county Tipperary local authority area to provide effective and efficient services to citizens and communities, and particularly those most in need of those services.
Do you have an interest in, knowledge of and experience of Environmental or Social Inclusion issues?
If so, this opportunity means that you should represent the PPN, as a whole organisation, not your community group, and all decisions taken and views represented will be for the betterment of all the sectors of the Community and Voluntary, Social Inclusion and Environmental within county Tipperary and guided by our PPN Community Wellbeing Vision.
You should be able to attend 11 monthly meetings of the LCDC, as well as having an active role in other events or subgroups, with time to prepare for your meetings, through reading relevant documents etc.
Depending on your role, it would take up an estimated 8-10 hours per month, in a voluntary capacity, though your travel expenses would be met by Tipperary County council.
The PPN will support you in your role with an induction process and a member of the LCDC team will also meet with you.
