Changing the objects or constitution of
an incorporated association
A change of constitution or objects is passed by special resolution
by members, not at a management committee meeting, and
takes effect when it is registered by NSW Fair Trading.

constitution, and the procedure to adopt a new constitution or to
change the constitution or objects, is available on the Fair Trading
website at www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au.
When changing the constitution it is important to ensure the
amended constitution complies with the requirements of the Act
and the amendments do not create any inconsistencies within the
constitution.

The wording of the special resolution (motion) approved by
the members of the association must be set out here. If there is
insufcient room a copy of the special resolution must be attached
to this form.
While not required by the Act, it is recommended the
association consider passing a special resolution to adopt a
complete constitution consolidating any changes.
Declaration (part 3)
