Incorporated Association

The Johnstone River Community Gardens Inc. are an ‘incorporated association’, which means that we do have some legal responsibilities, including but not limited to the following:

  • The Gardens are a legally registered not-for-profit organisation, with all profits being put back into the association’s activities, and not being distributed to members for personal gain.
  • The organisation can continue regardless of changes to individual membership.
  • Members are required to elect a President, Secretary, and Treasurer each year at the Annual General Meeting (with the positions of President and Treasurer being held by two different people), which then forms the Management Committee.
  • We have adopted a set of operating rules via the organisation’s Constitution.
  • Each financial year we lodge an ‘Association Incorporation Form’ to the Queensland ‘Office of Fair Trading’.

  • The Gardens are also sanctioned by the Queensland ‘Office of Fair Trading’ to fundraise for community purposes.
