This Act revives Honey Harbour Community Church Inc., a corporation that was dissolved in 1994, restoring it to its legal position with all its property, rights, and obligations.
Bill PR33 is special legislation to revive Honey Harbour Community Church Inc., a registered non-profit corporation that was dissolved on July 23, 1994. The corporation was dissolved under the Corporations Act because it failed to comply with the Corporations Information Act. According to the bill, this failure was unintentional. Despite the official dissolution, the organization has continued to operate in the name of the corporation. The Act restores the corporation to the legal position it held at the time of its dissolution. This means the corporation regains all of its property, rights, privileges, and franchises. However, it also becomes responsible again for all of its liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts that existed at the time it was dissolved. The Act came into force on December 11, 2025, the date it received Royal Assent. Allan Hazelton, who is a board member of the corporation, applied for this special legislation.
