As part of the NAIF Stakeholder Engagement and Communication Strategy the project committed to holding NAIF workshops/meetings in QLD, NT and WA during September 2007.

These workshops occurred on the following dates:

7 September 2007 - BRISBANE
14 September 2007 - AYR
24 September 2007 - DARWIN
25 September 2007 - KUNUNURRA

A workshop was also held in Canberra on 28 November 2007.

Stakeholder Reference Group

A Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG) was established to assist with the initial phases of the NAIF Project.  Members were drawn from the NAIF Stakeholder network and these members interacted with the NAIF Project team, providing guidance and feedback on various aspects of the project.

A major face to face meeting of the SRG was held in Darwin on 18 October 2006.  This also provided opportunity for the SRG to interact directly with members of the NAIF Steering Committee.   Summary of the key points from that meeting. (PDF, 35 kB)
