LONSDALE GOLF CLUB
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 9th DECEMBER 2018

A Resolution to formalise the winding-up of the Redevelopment Task Force.

BACKGROUND TO THE RESOLUTION:

The Redevelopment Task Force of volunteer members was originally established by resolution of Club Members at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 20th April 2002 to, in accordance with the Terms of Reference approved by Members at that time, deliver the Redevelopment Project as defined in the Concept Proposal also approved by Members at that time. The Task Force was to remain operative for the duration of the Project, be accountable to both the Executive Committee and Club Members and be changed in its role only by Club Members in general meeting.

Almost 16 years, later in March this year, with the Redevelopment Project in a strong financial position, substantial on-site progress achieved and many residential allotments sold, it became clear the workload was increasing to a level beyond the available time inputs of the hard-working volunteer members. As a consequence, many of the day-to-day duties and tasks were transferred to a professionally engaged Project Directorate led by Peter Daddo, who had previously served as a consultant to the Task Force in the preceding five-year period.

Since then Task Force has maintained an ongoing overview and referral role, with the Project Directorate reporting to the Club Executive Committee, and as the Club’s 2017/18 financial year now comes to a close, and with more than 60% of lots now sold, it is appropriate to review the need for Task Force to continue in its present form.

During this period of project management transition, and in particular more recently, Task Force has formed the view that it is in the interests of the Club that Task Force does indeed wind-up, because the project continues to be on the track which Task Force set it upon and that members’ interests will be appropriately looked after for the remaining duration of the Project.

This view has been formed by receiving briefings from the Project Directorate and the Executive on the Overall Project Program, the Golf Course, the Clubhouse, the Stage 6 Subdivision, Land Sales and Settlements, the Overall Capital Expenditure Budget and the Future Fund, etc.

The view has also been considerably strengthened by the understanding that:-

1. Peter Daddo and Brad Van Cuylenberg will continue in their current Project Directorate roles until project completion
2. The Executive Committee, led by John Christophersen, will actively monitor progress of the project.
3. The Course Sub-Committee will continue in its current form until project completion
4. The Sub-division Design Review Committee will continue in its current form, until all lots are sold and their plans approved, and will report to the Project Directorate.
5. Individual Task Force members will continue to be reasonably available to provide project-related advice upon request.
6. Overall responsibility for oversight and delivery of those aspects of Task Force’s original Terms of Reference which are still applicable today will be assumed by the Project Directorate reporting to the Club Executive.
