Museum of Australian Democracy to be not for profit

THE Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka will operate as a not-for-profit company with a skills-based board.

However, Ballarat City Council will still be its sole owner.

The council last night voted on MADE's governance structure, which will include a constitution, and a service level agreement and memorandum of understanding between the company and the council.

Ballarat City Councillor Cheryl Bromfield said it was a "solid structure of governance".

Councillor Samantha McIntosh said the constitution would guide the board to a very healthy position.

The board will include six members and one councillor, while the MADE director will be an ex-officio position.

The board members will be selected from academic, financial, fundraising, IT, education, history/museums and tourism sectors.
