Our Values
Membership at Darlingford is different to the other clubs on the lake. Darlingford Waters Boat Club is (DWBC) is a not-for-profit organisation consisting of up to 100 Members who acquire Unit Trust Certificates/Trustee Company Shares to obtain rights to moor a houseboat in a pen at the complex leased by the club from Goulburn Murray Water Authority on Lake Eildon.
DWBC was established in 1987 as a not-for-profit club to provide for its members the ability to moor houseboats, and enjoy other jointly owned facilities and services, at a Marina Complex in Jerusalem Creek on Lake Eildon leased from the Goulburn Murray Water Authority (“GMW”).
As a Unit Trust, members appoint the Trustee Company, Darlingford Waters Marina Pty Ltd, as the trustee of the trust. As unitholders of the Trustee company, members elect the Board of the Company. The board is made up of up to ten voluntary Directors who are responsible to the unitholders/shareholders for the effective management of the Trust.
Members can also be social members, where they lease a pen from a full member of the club when available and with approval of the board.
