If a Permittee is able to demonstrate that it satisfies the above criteria then the Permittee is to be considered a charitable group and Community Event Permit fees are to be applied. Definition of ‘Not for profit’ The defines a not for profit organisation as follows: “A non-profit organisation is an organisation that is not operating for the profit or gain of its individual members, whether these gains would have been direct or indirect. This applies both while the organisation is operating and when it winds up. Any profit made by the organisation goes back into the operation of the organisation to carry out its purposes and is not distributed to any of its members. We accept an organisation as non-profit where its constituent or governing documents prevent it from distributing profits or assets for the benefit of particular people - both while it is operating and when it winds up. These documents should contain acceptable clauses showing the organisation's non-profit character”. The following is a non-exhaustive list of clubs, groups and bodies who satisfy Parks Victoria’s not for profit requirements: Registered Incorporated Associations Government departments Government agencies Local councils Schools Kindergartens Universities Churches Sporting clubs that do not permit distribution of profit or gain to members Recreational clubs that do not permit distribution of profit or gain to members The onus of establishing charity or not for profit status lies solely with the Permittee.
