SustainaBundy to Incorporate

Presently, SustainaBundy is group of concerned people working for a sustainable Bundaberg region. It is great to have a group of people willing to put in the time and the effort to manifest change. We've grown quickly and are seeing our ideas gain traction within the local community as well as the business community. Our message is striking a chord. And we have only just begun. It is due to our growth and the projects that we want to see happen that we need to incorporate.

By incorporating we be able to attract funding from government grants, open a SustainaBundy bank account. It will also allow us to provide insurance for our members when on official business or activities. In order to be able to incorporate we needed to formalise our management structure and document our goals. With that in mind we convened a meeting before the first movie. Those in attendance became official SustainaBundy members. From there we voted on the management committee and the goals of the group.

We now have an official management committee.

  • President - Dean Hazelwood
  • Secretary - Jacqui McLucas
  • Treasurer - Carol Sweeney
  • Vice President - Andi Hazelwood

And our official goals are as follows:

  1. Working for a sustainable Bundaberg region by raising community awareness of and preparedness for peak oil and climate change.
  2. Promoting and assisting in the Relocalisation of the Bundaberg region.
  3. Connecting individuals, organisations, businesses and government bodies that share in our vision for a sustainable Bundaberg region.
  4. Promoting and assisting the relocalisation of other communities.

They will be incorporated in to the Model Rules for Queensland Incorporated Associations. For more information on these model rules see the website for the Office of Fair Trading.

If you have any questions please contact me or any member of the committee.

Regards


Dean Hazelwood
