Economic Development Advisory Panel (EDAP)
Who are they?
The Port Stephens Economic Development Advisory Panel (EDAP) was established
in response to the findings and recommendations of the Port Stephens Council Economic
Development Strategy.
What is their role?
To operate primarily as a strategic thinking organisation with a responsibility
to develop local leadership, ensure input is provided to Port Stephens Council
on local economic development issues and promote Port Stephens to secure long
term jobs, investment and prosperity.
Members of the EDAP are expected to represent the broad interests of the Local
Government Area rather than those of any particular organisation(s).
