Committees

The Co-operative is controlled by a board of seven directors, elected by the members, being a statutory requirement of the
Cooperation Act. Para Park Co-operative Game Reserve Ltd. is a Community Advancement Society formed under the act, and
has its own bylaws adopted from the Cooperative Rules.
Each director serves for two years. Consequently four directors stand for re-election one year and the remaining three the
following year.The Chairman of the Board is elected by the directors, usually at the first meeting following the annual general
meeting.
The Principle committees reporting to the board, via a responsible director are:
1) Game Management
2) Projects ( includes construction, buildings, maintenance, jetty etc)
3) Plant and Machinery
4) Risk Management
5) Public Relations and Membership ( P.R.A.M.)
6) Disciplinary
Members of the foregoing are approved by the Board, together with the Secretary of each committee.
There are also "member group" committees such as Tents and Units, Boating, Social, Game Birds, Gardeners, Flora and
Fauna. Members of these committees are elected by those members who are interested in a particular accommodation or
activity, or simply enthusiastic folk, wishing to help fellow members in providing additional facilities, organising social
gatherings or persuing common interests.
