HDR Progress Reporting: occurs every six months and is undertaken by all HDR
candidates to provide the opportunity for the candidate and their supervisors to
critically reflect on the progress in the candidate’s research during the past six
months; consider intended research directions for the next six months and identify
any issues regarding progress or resourcing. Each progress report is considered by
the candidate, their supervisors and their Head of School, and is tracked by Research
Services. The aggregated results of HDR Progress Reporting are reported to the
Graduate Research Subcommittee, which has oversight of the progress reporting
process.

Council Open Meeting – 27 November 2015
Purpose
To request Council approve the suggested changes to overview section of the Authorities
Retained by Council Rule, as discussed at the 18 September Council meeting.
Origin of report: Action from the 18 September Council meeting.
Related to Council Terms of Reference: Approve policies and procedural principals for the
University.
Recommendation
Mr Brendan Peet, Chief Legal and Governance Officer
Council is asked to APPROVE the proposed revisions to the Authorities retained by Council Rule,
report #15450.
Executive Summary
The Authorities Retained By Council Rule lists the matters which have not been delegated to
the Vice Chancellor, including matters handled by a Council Committee on behalf of Council.
Revisions were proposed and approved at the 18 September 2015 Council meeting, but
members also requested that further revision be brought back to the November Council
meeting.
The suggestion was for the overview section of this rule to make reference to the
Governance Framework, the functions of the Vice-Chancellor rule and to the terms of
reference documents of Council Committees and Academic Board etc, which have delegated
authorities from Council.
The Council may exercise authority over any matter at the University and this Rule does not
fetter this power. What it does is specify matters that are restricted to Council, and that the
Vice Chancellor or any other person or body does not have authority over.
The proposed changes to the Rule are provided as Attachment 1 below.

Update re Policy Rationalisation Priorities #15396
Council OPEN Meeting – 27 November 2015
Purpose
To address a number of actions raised at the previous Council members, with an initial
framework to be used as part of policy rationalization at UNE.
Origin of report: Addresses action items from the 29 May 2015 Council meeting including,
• ACTION: The Chief Legal and Governance Officer was requested to update Council
with a list of those policies which might be considered a priority for change to rules.
• ACTION: The Vice-Chancellor was requested to provide Council with a suggested
approach to further progress the rationalisation of policies at UNE.
Related to Terms of Reference: Establish policies and procedural principles for the University
consistent with legal requirements and community expectations
Recommendation
Mr Brendan Peet, Chief Legal and Governance Officer
Council is asked to NOTE the update re Policy rationalization priorities, report #15396.
Executive Summary
The University Council has asked University management to take steps to rationalize the
University’s rules, policies and procedures (collectively referred to in this report as
“policies”), in order to promote greater understanding and ease of use by the University
Community.
This policy rationalization is being carried out in conjuction with the work being done
around organisational planning, delegations and compliance.
The UNE Governance Framework has established a process under which policy development
is supported and case-managed by the Policy and Governance Unit. This is a key control
that will promote policy rationalization and central oversight of policies created at UNE.
A scan of policies at UNE has been carried out to compile a list of all policies, who is
responsible for administering them and when they were last reviewed. This list is attached
(see Attachment 1). Policy instruments are now published through the University’s policy
database (TWEEK). A framework has also been prepared that allocates responsibility for
policy under broad policy groupings (e.g. “research” and “finance”). This is an
administrative document.
Priorities for policy rationalization are being developed. Teaching and research will always
be priority areas, along with human resources and information technology.

maintenance expenditure, we have been at or below the average which has contributed to a
backlog of maintenance issues, now being addressed.
The meeting discussed:
• comparisons with other regional and older universities;
• different methods of reporting;
• information collection and fine-tuning of results leading to improved data;
• options for alternative funding and best use of long term financial liability;
• building maintenance considered in planning of new assets;
• that recent proposals regarding new buildings included disposal of old, unused buildings
which reduced maintenance backlog liability; and
• data being useful for making choices and decisions into the future.

ACTION: CSO to include in the next TEFMA report a comparison of UNE against other universities of a
similar age and based in regional areas (e.g. University of Wollongong and University of Newcastle).
The Infrastructure Committee NOTED the Annual Presentation of TEFMA Benchmarks #15279.
3.2. * Energy Management Biannual Report #15280
Mr Ben Harris spoke to the report and the Chair asked how this report will change once the solar
farm is up and running. Mr Ben Harris advised that whilst the usage of electricity will not reduce,
the cost of electricity will reduce. The solar farm is targeted to produce 50% of UNE’s academic
campus power so that cost should reduce significantly.
A member queried whether this percentage of the academic campus power supply was as a result
of the completion of stage one or all three stages. Mr Ben Harris advised that the solar farm, as
approved, will supply 50% of the electricity with any subsequent extension allowing for further
reduction and power storage being a viable option for the future.
The Infrastructure Committee NOTED the biannual Energy Management Report #15280.
3.3. * Works Project Report #15283
Professor Creamer and Mr Ben Harris addressed the report and there were no questions from the
Committee.

6.2. Next Meeting
The Chair advised that the next meeting of the Infrastructure Committee will be held on Friday, 11
December 2015 and will be held in the Council Room, Booloominbah.
[Anne Myers joined the meeting from the Parramatta Campus]
The Chair welcomed Ms Myers and asked if she had any questions on the earlier reports.
Ms Myers referred to Item 3.4, Information Technology Biannual Report #15281, and commented
that there seemed to be a lack of information around cyber security and privacy in the biannual
report. As these are becoming key governance topics in the IT realm, it was suggested that these
issues should be covered in future reports.
Professor Creamer confirmed that the information could be included in this report and there should
be some dimensions around the numbers and types of attacks that we have had and what we can
and are doing to prevent these. There is a major project, Identity & Access Management, which will
take approximately 2.5 years to come to fruition so, in the interim, relevant information will be
included in the next report.
ACTION: CSO to include IT security and privacy information in the next IT Biannual Report
scheduled for 2016.
6.3. Meeting Close
The open session was closed at 1.31pm and the Chair referred to the confidential paper.

ITEM 5.4
Chair Report Standing Committee of Convocation #15302
Council OPEN Meeting – 27 November 2015
Purpose
To provide Council with an overview of activities conducted by the Standing Committee of
Convocation at the 18 November 2015 Open meeting.
Origin of report: Scheduled Work Plan item.
Related to Terms of Reference: #3.1 b, Oversee and monitor the University's performance.
Recommendation
Dr Jack Hobbs, Chair Standing Committee Convocation
Council is asked to NOTE the Chair of Standing Committee Convocation’s Report #15302.
Executive Summary
The third meeting for 2015 was held on 18th November.
The Chair reported on his meeting earlier that afternoon with Trevor Goldstone, PVCER, at
which he explained the function of the Standing Committee. Trevor has agreed to attend the
first meeting next year to advise what he is doing and to explore how he can work with us. The
committee was encouraged by the positive response from Trevor and looks forward to working
with him and the new Director of the Office of Advancement, when that appointment has been
made.
The Chair also reported on his recent trip to Canberra during which he had been hoping to catch
up with some of the more than 100 former Earle Page College residents now living in the
Canberra area, who were contacted by email inviting them to contact Jack. Unfortunately, only
one person did get in touch, but she expressed interest in trying to organise a get-together in
the future for those in her area. Jack has agreed to help wherever he can.
Liz Ryan reported to the committee on her trip to PNG earlier this year, when she met with a
number of UNE graduates. The committee discussed the possibility of setting up an Alumni
chapter in the area.
Jennifer Miller reported on the Distinguished Alumni awards made this year and indicated that
she is about to investigate what other universities might be doing about specific awards for
indigenous Alumni, with a view to considering the introduction of a new award next year.
Gabrielle Price presented the results of the recent Self-Review Survey of the committee. These
provided a useful stimulus for discussion of the ways in which the committee operates and
suggestions how improvements might be made.
The committee also had a discussion about its Terms of Reference and membership, with
particular consideration to broadening membership to possibly include some younger and
indigenous Alumni representatives.
The committee agreed that the first meeting next year will be held on Wednesday 9th March
2016.
