NS circulated and tabled a final draft of the proposed amendments to the TRA Ltd
Constitution. EO advised that under the existing constitution a general meeting needed to be
held in order for any changes to the constitution to be endorsed by member bodies. If this is to
before the 2018 AGM, then the General Meeting must be held NO LATER than
2nd March 2018.
EO suggested that the general meeting be held via audio conference on 24/02/2018. As 60
days’ notice must be given to Member Bodies to consider any changes to the constitution, the
deadline for notification to member bodies would be 22/12/2017 to ensure compliance with
ASIC regulations.

recommendations of the EO soon as practically possible. Directors will contact Presidents of
Member Bodies to liaise on this matter further.

review and restructure of TRA Ltd committees has been put on hold until the outcome of
the general meeting has been finalised.
