Adoption of new rules of association
TPCC is an association incorporated in Victoria. An association may modify or repeal its rules or a provision of its rules by special resolution of its Members.
The TPCC Committee identified the need to update and modernise the existing rules (Current Rules) or constitution of TPCC and to ensure compliance with recent legislative changes implemented by the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 (Vic) (Act).
The TPCC Committee believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the Current Rules with the proposed rules (New Rules) rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.
The proposed changes under the New Rules are the result of a comprehensive governance and compliance review conducted by a working party of Committee members, together with legal advice.
The Committee recommends you vote in favour of the special resolution to adopt the New Rules.
The key changes under the New Rules include:
(a) A clarification as to who is a voting member;
(b) An alignment of the constitution with the legislative changes implemented by the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 (Vic) (Act)
(c) An express requirement that Members comply with the Association’s policies and code of conduct as determined by the Committee from time to time; and
(d) An identification that Member registration is now an online process
Details of the proposed amendments are set out in section 4 of the explanatory statement in the attached notice of meeting.
A copy of the New Rules can be found on this web page
