The Board may from time to time establish appropriate committees to focus on specific areas of responsibility in greater detail than is possible for the Board as a whole. Committees report to the Board and make necessary recommendations.
The QR Board has four Board Committees:
- Audit and Risk Management Committee
- Remuneration and Succession Committee
- Passengers Services Strategy Committee
- Freight Business Strategy Committee.
Each committee has its own charter that sets out the roles and responsibilities as well as the administrative functions of the committee. Charters for each of the Board Committees can be found on the Supplementary Information CD.
Board Committees exist to provide recommendations to the Board on issues within the purview of the respective committee.
A review of each committee’s membership and an evaluation of committee performance are undertaken by the Board annually.
