Relevant notes from the explanatory memorandum

240. This section provides that assets of granting entities are distributed to charities nominated by the members granted in the entity.  Any excess of the amounts in the granting entity over the legal rights of the membership are transferred to the Consolidated Revenue Fund.  If the legal rights of membership exceed the assets of a granting entity those members get charity distributions from the Consolidated Revenue Fund. For example:

(A) if members of a granting entity hold 10% of the full membership in Urabba Parks, and the entity represents 15% of the total corporate assets on winding-up, those members only receive a charity distribution on the assets in the entity representing 10% of the total assets, with the rest being distributed to the Executive Government;

(B) if members of a granting entity hold 10% of the full membership in Urabba Parks, and the entity represents 5% of the total assets on winding-up, those members receive a charity distribution on all the assets in the entity and a further distribution of the from the assets of the Executive Government for the remaining 5% of the assets.
