Cost of Membership
$3,000 Interest Free Loan (IFL) plus a $1,000 nomination fee (inc GST) per person. The IFL is fully
refundable (less any monies owing) on exit from the Club.
For Junior members, ie aged under 18 years, the $3,000 IFL may be paid off over a period of up to 10
years in annual instalments or until the child turns 18 years whichever comes sooner.
Annual Fees
Each year a membership subscription fee and maintenance levy is payable by each member.
Subscription fee - $185.00
Maintenance levy - $80.00
Members who attend at least one working bee during the year are exempt from paying the
maintenance levy for the following year.
Junior Members (aged 2 to 17 years):
Subscription fee - $90.00
Junior members are exempt from paying the maintenance levy. The Subscription fee and
maintenance levy are payable by 31 January each year.
Subscription Fee and Maintenance Levy Late Fees
Late fees apply to overdue Subs and Maintenance levies. These levies (together with
accommodation fees) are the income which enables the Club to operate successfully and carry out
essential maintenance and upgrades on the Lodge each year. In order to keep the booking rates
affordable, and the Lodge maintained and improved, it is crucial that these levies are paid on time
each year. The late fees are as follows:
Subs and maintenance levies will be required to be fully paid by 31st January each year.
After this date a late fee of $15.00 will be imposed for each year that the levies remain unpaid. A
letter will be sent out in April advising members of any outstanding levies and fees owing.
Members will then have until 31st May to pay their levies (including any late fees).
From June the late fee will increase to $45.00.
If the amount owing in fees exceeds the value of the Interest Free Loan and is not paid the member
will have their membership terminated by the Committee.
Membership Transfers
A member can choose to transfer their current membership to a family member if they wish to leave
the Club. The IFL remains with the Club and is transferred to the new member’s name. Payment of
the IFL to the resigning member is the responsibility of the new member taking over the
membership.
Resignations
A member can choose to resign their membership. The IFL paid at the time of the member joining
will be refunded less any monies owing to the Club.
