Decisions

Reason for the Decision

The existence of advisory bodies is a requirement of the Weymouth Harbour Revision Order and the draft Bridport and Lyme Regis Harbours Revision order currently being consulted upon. These groups require clear terms under which they will operate in order that the Harbour Advisory Committee, Duty Holder and Harbour Teams receive representative feedback from harbour users in an organised, fair and transparent manner.

It is important to review these terms occasionally, and in particular when it becomes apparent there are some shortcomings in their content. This review of the Terms of reference supports the Dorset Council Harbours Strategy objective to strengthen relationships with harbour users and stakeholders and work in partnership to achieve common goals.
