An 'unincorporated body' for the purposes of s 6(2)(b) and Schedule 2 of the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 (NSW) need not have a formal constitution, rules governing voting, or a register of members. It is sufficient that the body consists of a combination of persons with a common interest or purpose, a degree of organisation and continuity, and identifiable members. Section 39 of the AI Act, which prescribes the procedure for special resolutions, does not apply to unincorporated bodies prior to registration. Non-compliance with the application requirements in s 6 does not automatically invalidate a registration effected by the Secretary.
