The Executive Committee of Bicycle SA is proposing and recommending the adoption of an updated Constitution – the first significant update to our governing document in 20 years.

The current Constitution dates back to 2005. Since then, the way not-for-profit organisations are governed has evolved considerably, and State and Federal governments are now increasingly expecting organisations like Bicycle SA to maintain good governance standards. As part of Bicycle SA's commitment to good governance and transparency, the Executive Committee have undertaken a full review to ensure our Constitution reflects modern practice, current legislation, and the needs of today’s members.

The proposed updated new Constitution will:

• modernise and simplify outdated wording and processes;
• position and enable the organisation to grow and develop further as a community organisation and expand our offerings to support our members and community more effectively; and
• align Bicycle SA with the Associations Incorporation Act 1985 (SA), other relevant legislation and current governance principles.

This proposed updated Constitution ensures Bicycle SA remains a strong, well-governed organisation, ready and best-prepared to represent our members for decades to come.

Members now have the opportunity to review the proposed updated Constitution in full, available below, and will vote on its adoption at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. Frequently asked questions about the proposed change are outlined below.

Open door invite:

Bicycle SA CEO Sue Bowman invites all Members who would like to discuss the proposed updated Constitution to book a short meeting during her extended office hours in the lead-up to the AGM.

Available times: Select Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:00pm – 6:00pm

Location: Bicycle SA Office, 11A Croydon Road, Keswick
