- Monitor and review implementation of the Project Plan activities and outcomes.

- Each committee member will be responsible to communicate project progress to all the agencies that relate to their agency types and to the PCP quadrant they attend.
- The appointment of committee chair will be for a 12 month period.
- If any agency misses 3 consecutive meetings, it will be assumed that they are unable to participate in the future and an alternate agency will be recruited to fulfil their position.
- Committee member appointment is for an initial 12 month tenure, upon which 6 members will voluntarily step down and replaced with similar agency types. The remaining members will stay on to ensure continuity of project knowledge and input. Their positions  will be rotated the following year.
