There are a number of reasons why your association/group should adopt a constitution: It should outline the association/group’s purpose, list the rules of operations and set out the member’s rights and responsibilities.
ConstitutionĪ constitution is a basic set of rules that govern how your association/group will operate. To create an associated body, it is necessary to develop a constitution, become incorporated, have a bank account and establish appropriate insurances. If there is sufficient support it is suggested that a working group be formed comprising a core group of interested people to work through the formal processes of establishing an association. Should establishing a group be beneficial, it is suggested that support is obtained from other community members through either calling a public meeting or direct contact by mail. If no such group exists and you would like to establish an association, or see benefits in establishing one, it is recommended you first liaise with the office bearers of an existing group to discuss how they started and to understand some of the benefits and challenges in establishing a group. Residents are encouraged to check if there is an existing ratepayer / resident / community association within their area from the City’s Community Directory.
