Constitutional Changes Approved

UPDATED 27 September: The VFBV Annual General Meeting has voted unanimously to adopt proposed changes that remove urban and rural brigade distinctions from the association’s constitution.

The voting on 11 proposals followed extensive consultation with District Councils - see below to download the discussion paper that preceded the vote.

The changes include;

  • An addition to VFBV’s Statement of Purpose; ‘To maintain and pursue a balanced focus on issues affecting CFA volunteers across all brigades from all risk profiles.’
  • Abolishing the titles of Vice President Rural and Vice President Urban, replacing those positions with two State Council ex-officio Board Members elected by State Council each year
  • Changing the titles of the VFBV President and Vice President to State President and State Vice President, to end any potential confusion with the titles of District Council officials
  • Replacing the State Council Urban and Rural subcommittees with special purpose committees
