SMI Review Committee

The SMI Review Committee was initially established to overview the progress of SMI in satisfying the performance obligations associated with the $10million grant provided by the Queensland State Government. These obligations were all satisfied by the end of 2005.

The Review Committee, which meets annually, now provides a convenient vehicle for high level contact between SMI, senior levels of the University and the State for consideration of issues which have particular relevance to both parties.

The current Review Committee members are:

Professor Chris Moran

Sustainable Minerals Institute

Mr Barry Kelly

Chairman - Independent

Professor Paul Greenfield
