Individual and Family Memberships
The OEC is an incorporated not-for-profit organisation. As a community-managed, volunteer-run facility your membership payment provides crucial funds to support our purpose:
​
“To deliver an ongoing program that fosters and showcases Wood Design, Visual Arts and Performing Arts to Orbost, surrounding communities and visitors to the Far East Gippsland area.”
​
Any person who supports our purpose is eligible to complete a membership application form*. Payment of the membership fee is required upon application.
​
All members have the right to:
-
Vote at general meetings,
-
Receive notice of general meeting and special resolutions in timeframes set by the Model Rules,
-
Submit agenda items for general meetings,
-
Attend and be heard at general meetings,
-
Have access to the minutes of general meetings and other related documents,

Inspect the register of members.​​
Refer to “Model rules for an incorporated association” for more information.
​
Memberships are for the whole financial year (due for renewal by 1 July), there is no pro rata amount to account for months passed, but you can rest easy knowing every cent is going to supporting arts and culture activities.
*All members are approved at minuted monthly Committee meetings, and will be notified of the outcome of their application thereafter. In the rare event a member is not approved, they will be notified and the application fee refunded. A reason for rejection of an application need not be given.
​
**1 vote per family, 2 adults and up to 3 dependents included in the base fee. Family members must reside at the same address. A dependent includes anyone under the age of 18, or with additional needs that prevent independent living.
