(2) Yes. (3) November 2006. (4) The Homeswest Operational Standing Committee was a sub-committee of the Housing Advisory Committee. (5) The decision to disband the Homeswest Operational Standing Committee was based on a recommendation from a review of boards and committees in the Housing and Works portfolio. The recommendations of the review were endorsed by the Department's Review Steering Committee, chaired by the Director General and comprised of representatives from the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, Department of Treasury and Finance, and the Minister's office. The recommendations were subsequently endorsed by the Minister for Housing and Works. (6) Whilst the review of boards and committees supported the purpose of the Homeswest Operational Standing Committee, it recommended that the Department should instead consult directly with relevant stakeholders as the need arises. The consultation method selected will depend on the nature and complexity of the issue. Methods include workshops, face-to-face interviews, surveys etc. This approach is consistent with recent guidelines issued by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet on involving the community and stakeholders in decision-making.
