+
+### Not-for-profit Self Review
+
+The ATO introduced new rules requiring not for profits to declare why
+they should be tax exempt, starting with the 2023-2024 financial year.
+
+Harry began investigating the requirements in 2024.
+
+Filing online required that the ATO trust that we could act on behalf
+of PLUG.
+
+Paperwork to add James as a public officer was accepted in
+June 2025. New public officers can easily be added and removed now.
+
+We are now up to date with our NFP self reviews.
+
+
+### Venues
+
+Our regular meetings at SpaceCubed relied on a SpaceCubed member to
+act as sponsor.
+
+We’ve had multiple people filling this role over the years, but lost
+our most recent sponsor during 2025.
+
+We have tried a few alternative venues since: Collins Street Centre in
+South Perth, and UWA’s EZONE.
+
+We will hopefully be cash flow positive in 2026, and able to spend
+money on venues, but free is always preferred.
