Over the last few years there have been serious discussions at the WABA board level regarding our relationship with the National Band Council of Australia (NBCA). There have been numerous conversations on this topic with them occurring at most WABA meetings.
At the WABA meeting on Saturday 9th of November, a majority decision of 26 out of 29 bands voted to leave the NBCA.
While this was a hard decision for WA bands to make, we hope that our departure from the NBCA causes change within the body and that a more functional organisation can emerge moving forward.
WABA will focus our efforts on banding within WA and we look forward to working with our bands to make a brighter future.
If you have any concerns about this decision, please email to: info@waba.asn.au
