Membership is open to all eligible property owners within the Pinelands CID boundary. The property owner is entitled to attend, participate and vote at the meetings held under the auspices of the Companies Act. Should a member be unable to attend annual general meetings, they may give another individual their proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. The board of directors is chosen by Pinelands CID members at the AGM. Only members have voting rights at the AGM. Any property owner in Pinelands can become a member of the Pinelands CID. Non-members may attend and participate but cannot vote and as such may thus have limited influence on the Pinelands CID activities.
All stakeholders and interested parties are invited to attend, however, only owners registered as members of the company may vote.
Per clause 15.11.52 of the Memorandum of Incorporation, no member who is in arrears with payment of the additional rate for more than 60 (sixty) days, shall be entitled to vote at an AGM for so long as s/he is so in arrears except if the member can prove that s/he is in a dispute or has entered into an appropriate payment arrangement with the City or can provide proof of payment.
Owners wishing to apply for membership should do so via the website or by email.
Any member may appoint a Proxy to attend the meeting on his/her behalf. Forms of Proxy may be downloaded from the website or requested by email. The proxy form must be delivered to the offices of the Company no less than 24 hours prior to the advertised time of the start of the meeting, failing which it shall not be deemed to be valid.
Enquiries should be addressed as far in advance as possible, by email as above or by letter to the registered office of the company. The Annual Financial Statements can be downloaded from the website.
Forms for nomination of directors may be downloaded from the website or be requested by email. These forms must be delivered to the offices of the Company no less than 7 clear days prior to the advertised time of the start of the meeting, failing which it shall not be deemed to be valid.
