    Information and Process for Adopting New Model Town Team Constitution v3

    • Purpose & how to use: Explains why and how to adopt the simplified Town Team Constitution drafted by Jackson McDonald instead of the WA model rules. Includes the resolution wording for the inaugural meeting.
    • Who it's for: New WA Town Teams choosing between model rules and the Town Team Constitution; existing teams considering switching.
    • Key points: The Town Team Constitution uses an "Eldership" governance model with no individual office bearers, aiming to spread responsibility and avoid succession problems. WA requires a minimum of six members, and Section C of Form 1 must map your rules to the Schedule 1 matters. The document includes draft inaugural meeting resolutions for incorporating and formally adopting the rules.
