Public consultation is at the foundation of all policy changes undertaken by TSRA, as mandated by our vision “Empowering our people, in our decision, in our culture, for our future”. Public comment can be submitted through the following mechanisms:
Community Meetings
TSRA routinely holds community meetings for specific policy issues. These meetings provide a mechanism for the public to be informed about TSRA’s activities, and to provide feedback on policy issues. Details of community meetings will be announced in advance, via Remote Indigenous Broadcasting Service (RIBS) community radio, Radio 4MW, through media releases and via the Torres News.
Media Notices
TSRA routinely provides information and seeks feedback through media notices. Examples of these include:
- The Chair’s Column – A regular column by the TSRA Chairperson in the Torres News;
- Notices of reviews, published on community notice boards, the Torres News, Radio 4MW and RIBS;
- The TSRA Newsletter – A regular newsletter reporting the activities and achievements of the TSRA;
- Program-specific newsletters, eg the “Fisheries News”.
