EXPLANATION

The Associations Incorporation Act and Regulations are the primary legislative sources that governs the operation of the Ulysses Club Inc. In 2009, the New South Wales Government amended Associations Incorporation Act and in 2022, updated the Associations Incorporation Regulation which introduced new Model Rules for developing the Constitutions of Incorporated Associations.

 

These Model Rules serve to standardise the format and content of Constitutional documentation across all Incorporated Associations and have been adopted by the Office of Fair-Trading NSW and the Registrar of Incorporated Associations.

 

A review of our Constitution by the Constitutional Review Committee revealed that sections of our Constitution do not comply with the 2009 Legislation, the associated Regulation 2022, and the new Model Rules.

 

The Special Resolution is to adopt the proposed new Constitution (as published) in its entirety, and

thereby revoke the current Constitution Amended at the Warwick AGM 9 April 2022.

All members of the Constitution Review Committee support the proposed constitution.
