Village Committee
The Golden Grove Village Residents' Committee, better known as the Committee is directly elected by the residents of the village.
A description of the function of a residents committee within the "Retirement Villages Act 2016" as amended, is :-
"The function of a residents' committee is to consult with the operator of the retirement village, or a representative of the operator, in relation to matters of interest to residents and to represent the interests of the residents."
The "Retirement Villages Regulations 2017" Part 2 Section (4) states :-
"A residents' committee must-
   (a) cause accurate minutes to be kept of proceedings at a residents' committee meeting: and
   (b) within 10 business days after each residents' committee meeting-
       (i) make the minutes available for inspection by residents in a manner that is easily accessible to residents; and
       (ii) provide a copy of the minutes to the operator of the retirement village: and
   (c) ensure that the minutes do not disclose personal information regarding residents."
With this in mind the committee publish minutes on the notice board in the Community Centre. We provide here for your convenience the latest commitee minutes together with minutes for the last 12 months. Arrangements to view previous minutes may be made by contacting the Secretary.
The committee members are elected once a year for a period of 12 months.
