The action team decide how best to navigate and develop their action team. The action team is requested to adhere to a few simple procedures to ensure that their action team fits easily within the wider community program. These include: 

• Plan/Record Updates: the action team coordinators should review and update the dashboard on a regular basis to reflect their activities i.e. if they plan or are active on a project that it is list as a project record on the dashboard so others in the community and especially the coordination team can have sight of activities

• News/Noticeboard/Events Updates: When they plan events, to add to the dashboard so they can be shared with the community, when they have news such as celebration of completing a project or getting funding to add news/noticeboard entry again to share with the community

• Open door policy: The action team should have an open door policy, i.e. allow new residents or organisation to participate in the action team (of course as long as these members abide by rules and remain courteous and add value to the group)

• Plan Review/Update Prior to Community AGM: Each year, the Coordination team will organise an AGM. Each Action Team is requested to review and update records that relate to them (i.e their action team plan). If possible one or more representatives from the AGM should attend the AGM and provide a short summary of activities for the previous and upcoming year.
