Nominations open for Member Director by elections

The CBH Group announces that nominations for Member Director by-elections in Districts 1 and 4 will open on Wednesday 7 April 2021.

Given members did not support the proposal to reduce the Board in size at the 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 25 February 2021, CBH will now hold by-elections for one Member Director position in each of Districts 1 and 4. The Western Australian Electoral Commission (WAEC) will conduct the by-elections and nominations must be lodged no later than 12 noon (WST) on Wednesday, 21 April 2021.

CBH members with an interest in standing in the by-elections are encouraged to apply for an information pack and nomination form from WAEC Returning Officer, Kelly Dansie, by email at nominations@waec.wa.gov.au or phone on 0437 828 469.

Candidates are not required to have their main growing interests in the district in which they intend to nominate for election. Following the close of nominations, subject to receiving more than one nomination for a district, members in that district will be able to vote for the candidate of their choice.

Votes received will be counted immediately after the close of poll at 10:00am on Friday, 4 June 2021. For more information on Member Director elections, the elections process or the governance of our co-operative, please visit our website, www.cbh.com.au.
