Consultation with Upper Hunter communities over existing and proposed Macquarie Generation activities is an important aspect of our business. Under the auspices of Muswellbrook Shire Council we operate a Community Consultative Committee, which meets quarterly either at Muswellbrook Council or our power stations.
The Committee discusses issues regarding environmental compliance with licences, conditions of development consent and other relevant approvals for Macquarie Generation activities, progress of current developments and more general matters concerning power station operation. The Committee also assesses community concerns and seek responses from the Corporation on relevant issues.
The Committee comprises representatives from Muswellbrook and Singleton councils and community representatives from both council areas. Under Muswellbrook Shire guidelines the Committee reports on its deliberations in formal Minutes presented to Muswellbrook, Singleton and Upper Hunter Shire Councils.
The Committee comprises:
Muswellbrook Council
Cr Stephen Ward - Chair
Cr Malcolm Ogg - Deputy Chair
Mr Craig Fleming
Muswellbrook Community
Mr John Morris
Mr Geoffrey Morgan
Mr Kevin Timpson
Singleton Council
Cr Sue Moore

Under Muswellbrook Shire guidelines, the Committee will meet at quarterly and report on its deliberations in formal Minutes presented to Muswellbrook, Singleton and Upper Hunter Shire Councils.
