BOUNDARY REVIEWS – WORKING TOGETHER FOR CHANGE

BOUNDARY REVIEWS – WORKING TOGETHER FOR CHANGE

BY MELANIE ALLEN

Great progress has been made by the BV appointed Boundary Review sub-committee who are tasked with reviewing and proposing alterations to existing Region boundaries and the future of the Divisions within Regions.

The committee commenced the project in 2019, and earlier this year a travelling roadshow was able to present to most Regions before COVID-19 took hold. The primary goal of the review is to dissolve Divisions and finish with 16 Regions, a lot less than the 41 different bodies operating throughout Victoria currently.

“We need to create more effective Regions, with less duplication of Board roles and Divisional expenses,” said the Chair Ian Guymer.

“The ever- increasing demand on volunteer time combined with the decreasing number of administrative volunteers, not only at club level, but at Divisional and Region levels also, is the driving force behind this decision and how BV plans to ‘future-proof our sport’,” said Guymer.
