Relevant notes from the Explanatory Memorandum

282. Subsection (1) provides that Urabba Parks shall have the first and paramount lien on pledged membership. This purpose of this provision is to protect Urabba Parks’ rights to recover amounts that have been pledged on membership by placing its lien to the membership above all others.

283. Subsection (2) provides for the indemnity of Urabba Parks in the case of amounts payable to a member or their personal representative other than in the course of its charitable business. This purpose of this provision is to ensure that no member is able to receive any benefit in respect of their membership not authorised by this Constitution, which restricts such benefits to those incidental to the provision of charitable benefits.
