== Bus Operator Registration ==

 * The replacement of Cliff with JeanetteCoutts has been attached.

 * From 2019, the organisations from whom we hire buses for Leisuretime require a Bus Operator Registration number.
 * These are issued by Bus Safety Victoria.  [[https://transportsafety.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/word_doc/0008/30014/Bus-Operator-AccreditationApplication-Form-2018.docx|The application form]] is available.
 * There seems to be some indecision within BSV over who should apply; the local congregation or Presbytery / Synod.
  * Synod do not currently have an "unbrella" registration.
  * The congregation is preferred, as the "contact person" on the form needs to be directly involved.
 * GWUC applied for a registration in 2019, for Leisuretime hiring, with CliffBaker as contact person.  It was sent to <<MailTo(julien DOT Pezzino AT transportsafety DOT vic DOT gov DOT au)>>, after telephone conversations.  [[attachment:BusOperatorRegistrationGWUC.pdf]] is the completed application.
  * It included our ABN lookup as "proof of existence", and a letter appointing Cliff as contact person.
 * The certificate was issued 26 Feb 2019 subject to the Section 22(6) of the bus safety act:
 * Section 22(6) reads
{{{

bus service is subject to the following
conditions—
(a) the operator of the bus service must—
