The correct operation of a residents committee is paramount to having a harmonious village community.
Also, residents committees, and residents generally, should be aware of various fundamental principles which relate to participation by residents, who want to be involved, in the affairs of their village – read more.
A comprehensive manual, in loose-leaf printed format, for the establishment and operation of a residents committee is available to all villages. To compliment the manual the Residents Committee Support Desk is available to further advise and assist subscribing residents committees.
Manual Purchase
Printed copies of the Manual are available for purchase from the office by ARQRV members and Residents Committees. The cost is $80, including GST.
Even though it is a residents committee manual, the ARQRV committee recommends the manual should be easily accessible to all residents, not just the committee. If needed, residents may decide to purchase additional printed copies for the village library or reading room.
The Manual may be read online without cost in flipbook format – read only file.
