The Critical Infrastructure Program Board is committed to stakeholder and community consultation as important infrastructure upgrades are delivered for Lord Howe Island. Transparent communication, consultation and governance groups support the effective management of the Program and its projects.
Ongoing engagement with residents and businesses on Lord Howe Island will continue as detailed designs and construction planning progresses in early to mid 2026.
Community Consultation Group
The Community Consultation Group (CCG) was established in 2024 following nominations received from Lord Howe Island residents. The CCG provides a forum for consultation with local community members and business owners who can offer local knowledge, perspective and advice on matters affecting the Program.
CCG meetings are held bi-monthly or as required. Additional meetings may be convened on an ad hoc basis by the Chair. Elected Board members may also attend meetings.
