Change of public officer

It is a breach of the Act for an association to be without a Public Officer for a period longer than one month. The Public Officer's name and current residential address must at all times be registered with this office.

If the Public Officer changes his or her residential address, or if the association changes its nominated Public Officer, this office should be notified within one month of the change on the prescribed form (Form 10). No fee is payable. (Late fees apply if lodged after the prescribed time).

Generally the appointment of a Public Officer is made by the association's committee of management. The rules of an association can provide for particular procedures to be followed. Where the rules are silent, the appointment is made at a meeting of the committee.

Where the change being notified is a change of residential address, there is of course no need for the committee to authorise the change. The form is simply completed giving particulars of the change of address and signed by the Public Officer. Where the change being notified is a change of Public Officer, the form must be signed by the new (incoming) Public Officer.
