Bain Estate Future Fund
APPLICATIONS DEFERRED
Dumbleyung Future Fund/Bain Estate Update
At our June 2023 Council Meeting, it was resolved that consideration of funding activities relating to new projects for the Dumbleyung Future Fund (formerly Bain Estate) be deferred for 12 months.
This 12-month deferment will allow for the new administrative arrangements for Dumbleyung Future Fund Inc to be bedded down, particularly as the structure of the fund has changed into an Incorporated Association model.
The deferment period also allows further consideration for the Dumbleyung Swimming Pool Redevelopment Project to be progressed including potential funding implications on the Future Fund.
The Shire is also intending to use this 12 month period to undertake a review of the Future Fund Guidelines. Any changes will be communicated once known.
In May 2013 the Shire of Dumbleyung was the sole beneficiary to the Estate of Ian Bain. The will contained a wish that the money be used to assist sporting groups, emergency organisations and hospital services within the shire; however the wish does not impose an obligation to restrict spending to these three areas.
The intention of Council is for the Bain Estate Distribution to be used for the benefit of the shire over a thirty year period of time. The aim is to distribute the money to the community in similarly equal distributions over the thirty year period, taking into account the time value of money.
The amount available to be distributed each year will be determined through the annual budget process, taking into account past decisions and the current financial climate.
