Resolution details

A special resolution vote will take place at our AGM on 29 October 2025 at 6.00 pm at the station at 52 Wheatley Street, Bellingen.

We’re asking members to consider and vote on amendments to the Rules to reduce the Board from nine directors to seven, and to align the rotation of director’s terms and Board meeting quorum with the new size. 

The goal is to streamline governance and make it easier for a volunteer board to meet and make timely decisions while maintaining appropriate oversight.

A special resolution requires at least 75% of active member votes cast to pass.

What members need to do

  • Read this page, the special resolution, and the marked-up Rules (Annexure A: Rules 66(a), 68, 74).
  • Send questions ahead of the meeting, or ask them on the day.
  • Cast your vote at the meeting.
