Notice of Special General Meeting
I hereby give notice that the Garden Island Fishing & Aquatic Association (Inc) will hold a Special General Meeting on Saturday 21st July 2018 at the Cockburn Power Boat Association, 37 Jervoise Bay Cove, Munster in the upstairs function room. The meeting will commence at 4:00 pm
The purpose of the meeting will be to vote on the required changes to our constitution.
The Government of Western Australia, Department of Commerce Consumer Protection requires that all incorporated associations are required to review and where necessary update their rules (often known as the constitution) to ensure the document complies with the Associations Incorporation Act 2015 (the Act).
A group of members and committee has spent the last 18 months reviewing our current constitution and we have now developed a draft that includes all of the required updates and will ensure that we are fully compliant with the new rules.
A copy of the draft constitution is available for download on the Notices of Motions page.
Please note: Any submissions to amend the draft must be delivered in writing and addressed to the secretary, Garden Island Fishing and Aquatic association. All correspondence must be received no later than 5:00 pm Friday 8th June.
All members are encouraged to attend but remember you must be a current financial member to be eligible to vote at the meeting.
A Christmas in July function will be held immediately after the meeting for all members and partners. More details on this will be communicated at a later date.
To assist with our preparation if you will be attending the meeting please rsvp to: secretary@gifaa.com.au

SPECIAL MEETING: <GOTO NOTICE OF MOTIONS>
Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) There has been an increase in the use of RPA (commonly known as drones) at the island. The committee would like to remind all members that the operation of RPA in the mooring areas is not acceptable. This is due to several reasons, firstly the operation of RPA comes under the control of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Full regulations can be downloaded from the CASA website https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017L01370 Regulation 8 is the one that covers drone usage when other people are present: 8. Directions relating to the operation of RPA near people
(1) I direct that a person controlling an RPA must ensure that the aircraft is not operated less than 30 m from a person unless the person has duties essential to the control or navigation of the aircraft.
(2) For subregulation (1), the distance of 30 m is measured in every direction from the point on the ground directly below the aircraft
Secondly and perhaps more of a security matter, much of Garden Island has restrictions due to ammunition storage and flight path locations.
