(iii) who smokes, within the meaning of the Smoke-Free Environment Act 2000 (NSW), while on

(iv) who uses, or has in his or her possession, while on the Club’s premises any substance that
the Authorised Person suspects of being a prohibited plant or a prohibited drug; or

EXPLANATORY NOTES – SPECIAL RESOLUTION 2
1. Rule 38(b) sets certain penalties which must be applied for breaches of the Constitution and other
inappropriate conduct (such as supplying liquor to a minor). The Board considers that it is more
appropriate to deal with breaches of the Constitution and such conduct in accordance with Rule
38(a). Rule 38(a) sets out a comprehensive disciplinary procedure which allows the Board to apply
the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness which are upheld by the courts with respect to
disciplinary proceedings. Also, Rule 38(b) does not allow the Board to apply the ClubsNSW Best
Practice Guidelines for the Conduct of Disciplinary Proceedings, which it may otherwise do where
relevant to the circumstances. Therefore, the Board considers that Rule 38(b) should be deleted as
set out in paragraph 1 of Special Resolution 2, and such conduct should be dealt with under the
disciplinary procedures in Rule 38(a).
2. Paragraph 2 of special resolution 2 replaces the existing Rule 38(c) with a new Rule that reflects the
current standards for when a person will be refused admittance to, or be removed from, the Club’s
premises for inappropriate behaviour. This is generally reflective of sections 73 and 77 of the Liquor
Act 2007.
With no further matters raised by Members the Chairman then put the Motion to adopt the Second
Special Resolution to the Members.
