Request for Notice of Resolutions for AVA AGM

Members are invited to submit resolutions for consideration at the 2023 Annual General Meeting to be held on 29 May 2023. Those wishing to do so should send these in writing to the AVA Company Secretary at the AVA National Office on (02) 9431 5041 or via email by Friday 27 January 2023, 5.00pm (AEDT).

Resolutions are generally of two types: special resolutions and ordinary resolutions. Any resolution to amend the AVA Constitution requires a special resolution. In order to be passed, special resolutions require the approval of at least 75% of the members entitled to vote on that resolution.

Ordinary resolutions are for matters relating to the accounts or reports of officers of the AVA. In order to be passed, an ordinary resolution requires the approval of a simple majority of more than 50% of members entitled to vote on the resolution.

The wording of a proposed resolution may require amendment after submission (in consultation with the proposers of the resolution). This is to ensure the resolution is an acceptable form and provides sufficient clarity, particularly if the resolution involves an amendment to the AVA Constitution.

Before submitting a resolution, please contact the Company Secretary who may assist with preparation of an acceptable form of wording of the resolution. It is also appropriate to discuss any proposed resolution with a wide range of members prior to formally lodging it with the Company Secretary to ensure that the proposed wording of the resolution clearly conveys your objectives.

For more information, please contact the AVA Company Secretary at the AVA National Office on (02) 9431 5041 or via email.
