Dear members and friends,
I’m pleased to announce that with the new financial year beginning, we are now ready to start taking membership payments from 1 July 2025.
At our general meeting in January, the members of BTQ resolved to set membership fees at $50/year for Ordinary Members, and at $30/year for Concessional Members. These rates have also been advertised on the website for some time now.
Consequently:
- All membership rights & privileges of BTQ, e.g. voting at general meetings, or priority for participation in tours etc, will now be generally limited to financial members.
- Existing members will have two months (i.e. until 1 September 2025) before they will be considered non-financial. This is per 10(3)c of the association’s constitution.
- Also from September, the Insiders Area and Media > Draft Media Releases sections of the forum will become accessible to financial members only. It is not currently our intention to restrict any other sections.
Membership payments will be taken through a system integrated with the forum. Memberships will be charged on an annual recurring basis. You will be able to manage your membership and bank details via the billings tab in your profile.
If you are experiencing significant financial hardship which would make paying membership fees prohibitive, or conversely if you would like to make a donation via bank transfer, please reach out to the Management Committee via email.
This is a very important step in BTQ’s development. Running this organisation (especially the forum) is not free of cost. With your support we will be not just surviving, but thriving, for many years to come!
Kind Regards,
Rowan Gray
President
On behalf of the Management Committee of
Better Transport Queensland Inc.
