Relevant notes from the explanatory memorandum

237. Subsection (1) provides that charity distributions from public funds shall be separated from other charity distributions and be allocated to giving pools subject to the same restrictions as the public fund. This ensures that any surplus funds from a public fund shall be distributed to another Deductible Gift Recipient within the meaning of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

238. Subsection (2) provides that membership is only counted for the purpose of the determination of charity distribution rights if the membership is paid up. Membership is paid up unless there is an amount that can be called in by the Urabba Parks, usually at pre-agreed times (referred to in this Constitution as a pledge). Amounts paid by a member in advance of such call are taken to be a loan from the member and not counted in the amount paid up. Provisions to this effect are common in many company constitutions.

239. Subsection (3) provides for the granting of membership by way of an issue of shares by an operating company of an association to members of the association. This is to allow for the continuation of the association if Urabba Parks is wound up or the association separates from Urabba Parks.
