Attachment C - Centenary of Federation Working Group Terms of Reference

Council of Australian Governments' Meeting
11 April 1995

The Council of Australian Governments agreed at its April 1995 meeting to commission a working group of officials to consider matters relating to the celebration of the centenary of Australia's Federation.

Consistent with the aim of achieving an agreed co-operative national approach on centenary-related issues, the Group may suggest proposals in relation to:

  1. centenary goals and themes;
  2. planning and implementation mechanisms;
  3. administrative arrangements; and
  4. funding.

The Group will provide a report to the Council of Australian Governments by 31 August 1995.

In preparing its report, the Group will have regard to the report of the Council's Centenary of Federation Advisory Committee, 2001: A Report from Australia, and the Commonwealth Government's October 1994 report on centenary matters.

The Group will comprise a nominee of each jurisdiction. The Commonwealth nominee will chair the Group.
