Maintaining the Partnership a. As detailed in Schedule 1, JCAC and the NT Government will have regular Agreement level meetings to monitor the progress of this Agreement.
Maintaining the Partnership. The Community and the NTG will collaborate and negotiate respectfully, openly, honestly and in good faith in the spirit of building trust and a strong and lasting partnership. If issues arise, the NTG Regional Executive Director will work with the Community representatives to resolve the issue and, if no satisfactory outcome is achieved, will refer the issue to Regional Coordination Committee, which may escalate the issue to the Chief Executive Coordination Committee. LEGAL FRAMEWORK The NTG and the Community acknowledge that any transfer of responsibility to the Community for a service delivery area: will recognise and meet existing regulatory, legislative and Commonwealth requirements; may take a staged approach in order to ensure a successful transition over a period of time; will be supported by an agreed dedicated NTG financial commitment and other NTG agency support, which may include training, assets, in-kind support or other resources; will be captured in a formal legal contract with an organisation (or more than one) with authority to act on behalf of the Community that has: the legal capacity to enter into the contract; an appropriate and robust local governance structure, which represents the views of the whole community; and the resources, capacity, experience and expertise to deliver the service or the capacity to develop those things; and will be monitored and evaluated for progress and performance using a transparent, consultative and participatory approach that promotes the resolution of emerging issues as they arise.
