(3) The CMTEDD Communications unit worked with Community Councils and the ACT Government Solicitor to update the 2016-17 Deed, to ensure it was consistent with other ACT Government Funding Agreements while reflecting the unique nature of community councils. The current deed of agreement with each community council is to 30 June 2017.

(4) Management of the Community Councils funding agreements is undertaken by CMTEDD Communications. A combined insurance policy covering public liability and volunteer insurance for all councils has been negotiated by the directorate. This combined policy has the effect of standardising arrangements and lowering insurance premiums for each of the councils.

To support and build capacity within community councils, CMTEDD Communications has developed a series of training workshops for council members to help them engage effectively with the community including those who are unable or unwilling to attend community meetings. The first two workshops were delivered in February 2017 on social media and engaging young people to assist councils to reach a wider and more representative range of community views.

(5) There is no current proposal for a Community Council for the Molonglo Valley.
