Under Landcare Tasmania's Constitution, only Member Groups have voting rights at the AGM. One representative of each Member Group may vote at the AGM. This may be the group's primary contact or another nominated group representative. Individual members, Associate members, and members of groups can also attend the meeting but will not have voting rights.
Purpose of the meeting

Some of the business of the AGM has specified deadlines, which members are hereby given notice of:
Nominations to the Members Council
Landcare Tasmania has a Members Council of 15, to ensure the views and interests of our members are reflected in our operations. Members Councillors serve 2 year terms. Existing Councillors can nominate for re-election, and any member can also nominate for election. The deadline to receive Members Council nominations has passed.
Motions of Special Business
The deadline to receive motions of Special Business has passed.
Business to be conducted
The other business to be transacted at the AGM will include:
- report from the Chair;
- presentation of audited financial statements;
- election of Board members and ratification of Board appointments to fill casual vacancies;
- election of Members Councillors and ratification of Members Council appointments to fill casual vacancies; and
- appointment of auditor.
AGMs can have a bit of formality about them, but they are also a great opportunity to meet and catch up with Landcare Tasmania staff, our Board and Members Council, and other Landcarers. We hope to see you there.
