The administrative side of managing a parish ranges from property, finances and people. There are a range of documents to support parishes in carrying out the day to day operational functions of parish life.
This Report Template must be completed and submitted to the Registry before the last Monday of the month. The form is to be accompanied by all relevant documentation, including a Parish Council minute recommending the proposal (i.e. it must have Parish Council support).
Examples of reports that should come to the Executive for decision include:
All building or property (capital) projects undertaken in the Diocese of Bendigo which are (see Property Projects Template):
In excess of $5,000 and/or
To be funded from monies held in Trust and/or
Including a building contract
Signage on property
Proposals for Leases of property either as a Landlord (see information sheet) or a Tenant
Contracts of any kind
Memorandums of Understanding
Grant applications
Trust fund withdrawal applications of more than $5,000 (these must be accompanied by a completed Trust Fund Withdrawal Form)
A proposal to use trust funds in the short term, as part of a longer term “Parish Sustainability Plan”. (Parishes will have spoken to the Bishop, Archdeacon or General Manager/Registrar to arrive at this point).
Proposals to employ a person at the Parish (Parishes cannot employ people directly as they are not incorporated entities, all people must be employed via the Bendigo Anglican Diocesan Corporation)
All of the above require the approval of the Executive before being enacted.
