The Department of Planning and Environment responsible for the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct (SAP) master plan are now seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) for Community Advisory Group (CAG) members during the delivery phase of the SAP.

The advisory groups would comprise of a variety of local organisations and community representatives to represent the broad array of interests that need to be considered throughout the delivery planning process in shaping the future of the region.

Member for Monaro, Nichole Overall says this next step is important in seeing the continued advancement of the project.
