Three [3] Directors’ are to be elected in accordance with the Constitution of the Credit Union. Current Directors’ Gordana Papic, Tony Murphy and Allison Smart have their terms of office terminating at this meeting. These Directors’ have re-nominated for a further term and are eligible for re-election in accordance with the Constitution, as the Credit Union has received three [3] nominations for three [3] positions, an election is not required. Subject to the Credit Union’s Nomination Committee process, a separate resolution confirming the appointment will be put to the shareholders at the meeting.

 

5. Increase in Board Director Remuneration:
The Board proposes that the remuneration pool be increased to reflect the evolving demands of governance, the strategic need for Board renewal, and alignment with industry benchmarks. The current remuneration levels are significantly below market norms, which risks limiting our ability to attract and retain directors with the necessary expertise and commitment. This adjustment will support our long-term governance strategy and ensure the Board remains equipped to guide the organisation through its next phase of growth.

Proposal – The total annual remuneration pool available to non-executive directors be increased from $70,450 to $140,900.

 

By Order of the Board
