Special and Annual General Meeting 2024

The Ginninderra Falls Association (GFA) will hold its AGM from 6:30PM on 21 Nov 2024. This year we will do this online and I will send a link closer to the date (or you may see this later on our website). 

Prior to the AGM we will have a Special General Meeting to amend our constitution. The GFA is already a charity registered by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and, as such, does not need to complete the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) new not-for-profits’ (NFP) self-review form.

Notwithstanding this, the GFA committee is recommending we change our constitution to stress in our governing rules, ie, our constitution, that our income and assets are to be used solely for GFA purposes.

The motion will be:

The following clauses are to be inserted:

33.3 The association payments must be:

(a) authorised by the treasurer or, in this person’s absence, by another committee member that the committee nominates for that purpose; and

(b) co-authorised by any other unrelated officer provided that he or she does not have a financial interest in the payment.

33.4 The assets and income of the association must be applied exclusively to the promotion of its objects and no portion is to be paid or distributed directly or indirectly to the members except as proper remuneration for services rendered or expenses incurred on behalf of the association.

33.5 The association may pay a member for services actually rendered or for goods supplied but must not pay a committee member for their service as an officer or committee member.

33.6 The association may pay a member:

(a) interest, at the prevailing average rate payable by banks, for monies lent to the association by the member; or

(b) a reasonable and proper amount of rent for premises let to the association by the member.

Cheers,

Darryl Seto
(for the Ginninderra Falls Committee)
