Membership Form 2016 2017.docx
Thankyou for your support of Maroochy Waterwatch and please find above your membership form for this financial year.
For those of you who attended the AGM in December, the membership voted on moving the organisation to be a company limited be guarantee and changing the legal name to ECOllaboration. Maroochy Waterwatch will still remain a business name for the valuable community activities looking after the Maroochy River.
I am pleased to inform you that ASIC recently registered the company. However there are many other processes that need to be completed with the new structure and this may take some time. As such we are sending out the normal membership renewal as Maroochy Waterwatch. In the coming years you will be able to be a member of either ECOllaboration or Maroochy Waterwatch, depending on your relationship with the organisation!
