Home of The Chinese Community

President’s Message Dear Members,

2023 is the year we resume everyday life, as the WHO chief declares the end to COVID-19 as a global health emergency.

First of all, we would like to congratulate Mrs Theresa KWOK JP, the CEO of Chung Wah Community Care, who was awarded the 2023 Senior Western Australian of the Year during a special ceremony held at the at WA Government House on 14 November 2022. Theresa’s vast experience in social work and persistent strive for the welfare of CaLD seniors for the past 40 years since she migrated from Hong Kong in the 1980s. The Chung Wah Association is grateful and genuinely proud of her services and achievements.

In celebration of the 50-year bilateral relationship between Australia and China, the Chung Wah Association has led in organising a Gala Concert at the State Theatre. It was a feast of arts of stage performance that consisted of music and dance. We are grateful for the support from cultural groups and local artists who have made the events successful.

The year started with a bang with the 2023 Perth Chinese New Year Fair, and we managed to expand our reach to Yagan Square, with the help of Development WA. The City of Perth, Office of Multicultural Interests and LotteryWest continued their support to let us bring the fair back to James Street. The grand event has again attracted more than 30,000 attendees from the community. With the support from all community groups, the long-awaited street parade won the hearts of everyone. We are indeed grateful towards the support of our sponsors and volunteers to achieve another year of success.

The Chung Wah Chinese New Year Dinner and Dance was the highlight of the social calendar. This year we again we again held the event successfully at the Joondalup Resorts on a grand scale. Special mention to Senior Vice President, Yudy KODRAJAYA and his team, who work hard to ensure the event’s success. Chung Wah Association is grateful towards the organising team and staff, the sponsors, and supporters from the community, including our volunteers, who indeed enjoyed this social event to the fullest.

An EGM was held on 12 March 2023, marking a milestone in the history of the Association. The members supported the motion of the acquisition of of a parcel of land at Bentley to build the Chung Wah Community Centre in the South of River. The project is funded by $5 million from the state government and $1.75 million from the Federal government.

On 5 August, the Honorable Roger Cook MLA, the Premier of Western Australian announced to transfer a piece of land at Bentley to Chung Wah Association, witnessed by the Honorable Tony Buti MLA, other members of Parliaments and Chinese community members. Premier Cook said in his address during the

Dr Ting CHEN President 4 | The Chung Wah Association Inc. - Annual Report 2022-2023

ceremony, with the new facilities, Chung Wah would be able to help more people in the community and WA Labor government were delivering on their commitment.

The WA Government has played a significant role in securing the funding and seeking a suitable location for the building. Not to mention the full support from the Chinese community members who will benefit from this, we are deeply grateful and excited about this project.

Chung Wah will pay $1 for the land with conditional use.

Soon after the ceremony, we appointed Encon, a project management company to coordinate.

Chung Wah Association has been involved actively in the advocacy for the CaLD groups in Western Australia. We have attended the Multicultural Framework Review and contributed our feedback towards the formulation of the framework. Our committee member, Ms LeChun ZHANG attended the session on the association’s behalf. It is essential to earn a voice in the multicultural society of WA, and of a carefully planned framework to ensure our rights are safeguarded.

With the help of John HSU from the Chinese Association of WA, we paid our respects to the pioneers before us at the Karrakatta Cemetery in April. During the visit, We laid a wreath on the grave site of our first president, Luey Wah, to mark our commemoration of him. The Dragon Boat Festival this year was celebrated with a fun session of children’s dragon boat races at the Balcatta Culture Centre. This creative event allowed the young participants to put together cardboard dragon boats and race with them. We also held the annual Mid-Autumn Festival celebration under the leadership of Chung Wah Chinese School. It is essential to pass on our heritage through creative activity, not only to promote parent-children interaction but also to immerse ourselves in learning about the history and customs of the festival. Not to mention the chance to taste the exquisite handmade rice dumplings or mooncakes as part of the festival ritual. Chung Wah Association bears the responsibility to connect the ethnic and cultural roots.

Before concluding my address, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the support of my fellow Executive Committee members, staff and volunteers, who have put forward unconditional efforts to ensure the smooth running of all projects. I also appreciate the support from our annual sponsors, Murdoch University, SBS, Norton Goldfield and Global Lithium.

As the peak body of the Chinese Community, the Chung Wah Association has a rich history set in examples of how a united community can earn respect and support from its community. Everyone has praised our work promoting social cohesion and celebrating cultural diversity.

My team and I wish you well and look forward to another successful year.

会长的话 亲爱的会员们

2023年是我们恢复日常生活的一年，世界卫生 组织总干事宣布新冠肺炎(COVID-19)作为全 球卫生紧急事件的结束。 首先，我们要祝贺中华社区服务的行政总裁郭郑 素雯太平绅士于2022年11月14日在西澳总督府举行 的特别颁奖典礼上荣获2023年西澳年度长者奖。她 自20世纪80年代从香港移居以来，四十多年来一直 致力于社会工作，并为文化与语言多元老年人的福利 而不懈努力。中华会馆对她的服务和成就表示感谢 并由衷地感到自豪。 为庆祝澳大利亚与中国建交50周年，中华会 馆 牵头在西澳州剧院举办了一场盛大音乐会。这是一 场由音乐、舞蹈组 成的舞台表演艺术盛宴。我们感 谢文化团体和当地艺术家的支持，是他们使活动取 得了成功。 2023年珀斯中华新年文化节拉开了中国新年的 序幕，在西澳发展局的帮助下，我们成功将业务范围 扩大到了亚甘广场。珀斯市府和OMI继续支持中华会 馆将文化节带回詹姆斯街。盛大的活动再次吸引了社 会各界超过30,000人参加。在各社区团体的支持下， 期待已久的街头游行赢得了大家的心。我们确实感谢 赞助商和志愿者的支持，让我们又一次取得成功。 中华新年晚宴与舞会一直是社交日历上的重头 戏。今年我们再次在Joondalup Resorts成功举办了规 模宏大的活动。特别值得一提的是高级副会长许俊 豪和他的团队，他们为确保活动的成功而付出了辛 勤的努力。中华会馆衷心感谢筹办团队及员工、赞助 商、以及社会各界的支持者，包括我们的义工，他们 确实非常享受这次社交活动。 2023年3月12日举行了一次特别会员大会，标志 着会馆历史上的一个里程碑。会员支持在Bentley购 买一块近7000平方米的土地用于兴建南部的中华社 区中心的议案。该项目得到州政府500万澳元和联邦 政府175万澳元资助。 8月5日，由西澳州州长 Roger Cook、部长Tony Buti 在 其他议 员和 华 社 的成员 见证 下 宣布 将 一块 位于 Bentley的土地转让给中华会馆。州长Roger Cook在 仪式上致辞时表示，凭借新设施，中华会馆将帮助更

多社区民众，西澳工党政府正 在兑现承诺。西澳政府在获得 资金 和 寻 找合 适 的建 筑 地点 方面发挥了重要作用。更不用 说 从中受 益 的 华人社区 成员的 全力支持，我们对这个项目深表感 谢和兴奋。 中华会馆将支付1澳元购买有条件使用的土地。 仪式结束后不久，我们任命了项目管理公司Encon进 行项目的协调。 中华会馆一直积极参与西澳大利亚文化与语言 多元团体的宣传工作。我们参加了多元文化 框架审 查，并为框架的制定提供了反馈。理事会成员张乐春 女士代表会馆出席了会议。在西澳的多元文化社会中 赢得发言权，以及精心规划的框架以确保我们的权利 得到保障至关重要。 在西澳华人公会许锡忠太平绅士的帮助下，我们 于四月份在卡拉卡塔公墓向我们的先驱者致敬。访问 期间，我们向首任会长雷华的墓地敬献花圈，以纪念 他。今年的端午节，巴尔卡塔文化中心举办了一场有 趣的儿童龙舟比赛。这次创意活动让年轻的参与者 们拼出纸龙舟并与龙舟赛跑。我们还在中华中文学 校的领导下举办了一年一度的中秋庆祝活动。通过创 意活动传承传统，不仅可以促进亲子互动，还可以让 我们沉浸在了解节日的历史和习俗中。更不用说作为 节日仪式的一部分，有机会品尝精美的手工粽子或月 饼了。中华会馆肩负着连接民族文化根源的责任。 在结束发言之前，我谨对各位执行委员会成员、 工作人员和志愿者的支持表示衷心感谢，他们为确保 所有项目的顺利进行做出了无条件的努力。我还要感 谢我们的年度赞助商默多克大学、SBS、紫金偌顿金 矿和 环球锂业的支持。 作为华人社区的最高机构，中华会馆有着丰富的 历史，为团结的社区如何赢得社区的尊重和支持树立 了榜样。每个人都赞扬我们促进社会凝聚力和庆祝文 化多样性所做的工作。 我和我的团队祝您一切顺利，并期待又一个成功 的一年。

This year Chung Wah was a recipient of the Community Support Fund (CSF) from the Office of Multicultural Interests. The CSF provides triennial funding to not-for-profit culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) community peak umbrella associations based in Western Australia to deliver coordination, advocacy and support services to their member associations and community members. During the last financial year, Chung Wah organised a Speech and Language seminar as well as a Childrens Dragon Boat Festival.

Facilities

The Chung Wah office is responsible for organising repairs and maintenance of the Chung Wah properties, which includes the Community Hall in Northbridge and the Cultural Centre in Balcatta, as well as the rental restaurants downstairs of Chung Wah Hall. This year's repairs and maintenance expenses were particularly high. We are grateful to the Line Dance and New Vogue Groups for paying for the $28,663.25 repair of the Balcatta wooden floor. Thank you also to Chung Wah Community Care for funding the replacement of the Cultural Centre air cooling system.

Volunteers

Volunteers are an incredible part of the Association, which also includes our committee members. We held a Volunteers Team Building event, which for the first time in a long time, involved members from all parts of the Chung Wah family. Everyone enjoyed lunch, quizzes and games. Thank you also to our regular volunteers Dena, Nita, Patricia, Gaik and Jia Lin.

Administration Team

Our team consists of three part time staff, Tracy LIM, Sophie WANG and Rosetine SEW. This year, Lesley WONG left Chung Wah after nearly seven years of working for the Association. She has organised six Chinese New Year Fairs which included the challenging task of moving locations from James Street to the Perth Cultural Centre and back to James Street again, as well as enduring COVID lockdowns and not knowing if the fair would be able to go ahead. We thank her for her dedication to Chung Wah ! We welcomed Rosetine to the team, who has a background in Marketing and her passion for Chinese Culture in the community is a welcome asset to the team. Sophie has also joined us this year and has quickly learnt administration and membership processing as well as assisting with the Balcatta Cultural Centre maintenance. Tracy will be going on maternity leave in December, she will be sorely missed as our most experienced staff member.

I would also like to thank Honorary Administrator, Ms. Doreen CHIN for her help and guidance throughout the year as well as Michael WU, our Exco member for assisting to send out membership notices. Our Chung Wah historical export Kaylene POON has continued to assist with historical queries and organising school cultural excursions at the Chung Wah Hall. I have much to learn from her. Jeffrey CHA, Chief Editor and Carl ONG, Executive Editor produce the Chung Wah magazine, every quarter. Their invaluable contributions are greatly appreciated. My sincere thanks to all of the administration team !

We look forward to an exciting and busy year ahead with the Chung Wah Community Centre Building project. Thank you all for your support.

Chung Wah Community Care Embrace, Elevate and Flourish

O

ver the past year, we have continued to improve the quality of life for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to live independently in their communities. We have also embraced new talents in our ranks and jointly elevated our standards to a new height, as we set our sights towards a thriving community that is inclusive and supportive of all.

Through forging new partnerships with governmental and community bodies, we’ve enhanced our care services, ensuring easier access to support and information. This success is credited to our management board, the Chung Wah CC team, and the unyielding efforts of our staff, support workers, and volunteers.

Celebrating Our Achievements

Our Growth and Commitment: We’ve achieved a significant 14.10% growth, bringing our client base to 906. With a workforce reaching a milestone of 150, our team bolstered their skills with over 2,000 training hours. Our 60 indispensable volunteers remain central to our mission.

Quality Assurance: Our enriched Quality Management System upholds our commitment to the best care. We’ve achieved compliance with all eight Aged Care Quality Standards, a commendable feat achieved by a limited cohort in the aged care sector, as confirmed by a rigorous three-day audit at our Northbridge, Balcatta, and Willetton community hubs.

Digital Leap: Our updated website is live, and in October 2023, Chung Wah CC Radio will transition exclusively to YouTube.

10 | The Chung Wah Association Inc. - Annual Report 2022-2023

Expanding Our Services to CaLD and Wider Communities

EnCompass: Supported by FECCA, EnCOMPASS, alongside Chung Wah CC and 21 other partners, delivers culturally apt aged care solutions. From June 2021 to March 2023, this team organised 40+ seminars and assisted over 350 individuals with one-on-one application support.

New Initiatives & Collaboration: We’ve launched the Carer Gateway, care finder, and ELDAC programs, each with distinct goals and benefits.

Besides, our alliances with dementia care entities and palliative care specialists have refined our community hub talks.

Gratitude and Looking Ahead…

Chung Wah CC extends heartfelt thanks to our Executive Committee, President Ting CHEN, Board of Management, staff, volunteers, and consumers.

Your commitment has catalysed our transformative year, keeping the vision of “A Better Community for All” alive. Here’s to shared goals and a promising future.

Chung Wah Cultural Activities Jen Nie CHONG Chung Wah Association Vision: Through promoting Harmony, preserving our Heritage and practising Humanity, we serve as the bridge between the Chinese community and the broader society.

Dragon and Lion Dance Freddy FOO Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the troupe members for their commitment, support, and perseverance for the performance during the Chinese New Year 2023 and actively promoting Chinese culture within the Western Australian community.

The Chung Wah Cultural groups do an excellent job every year in preserving our Heritage and passing it on to future generations. Most groups practise at least once a week and do countless number of performances throughout the year, the busiest period being Chinese New Year. This past year, there has been an increase in requests for Chung Wah to provide interactive cultural activities and chinese decorations.

Over Chinese New Year, we provided Cultural performances including Lion Dance, Chinese Cultural Dance and Chinese Orchestra and cultural activities to: Stockland Shopping Centre in Riverton and Harrisdale, Livingston Marketplace in Canning Vale, Victoria Park Central Shopping Centres, and Nedlands Ray White Lunar New Year celebrations.

The cultural activities included calligraphers, chinese face painting, lantern making, red packet crafts and roving characters such as God of Fortune handing out filled red packets. We also hosted Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations at Stockland Bull Creek as well as provided Dragon Boat and Dragon Puppet craft activities at the Around the World event at Stockland Harrisdale. Jen Nie has also organised cultural performances and decorations for the Oberthur Primary School Immersion Programme 10th Anniversary Celebrations, including a dragon dance, lion dance and a finale of chinese cultural dance.

It has certainly been a busy year for our Cultural ambassadors.Thank you to all the Chung Wah Cultural group leaders and members for all their hard work over the past year.

With the border re-opening last year, we have participated in three overseas competitions. It was an amazing experience to see our young energetic core group demonstrate dedication, determination and resilience with the amount of hard work put in during the challenging pandemic period.

These overseas competitions not only provide a platform for the team to demonstrate the skills but also offer an invaluable opportunity for cultural exchange and networking. By engaging with lion dance troupes from different countries, we have expanded our horizons, learned from diverse styles, and strengthened our connections in the lion dance community. The connections made during this event can be invaluable for future collaborations and opportunities.

Chinese Cultural Dance - Jen Nie CHONG The Chung Wah Dance group practises every Saturday afternoon at the Chung Wah Hall, Northbridge, with Min Zhu as the dance teacher/ choreographer. The group currently has 15 dancers.

Choir Coach and Director: Mr ZHOU Yong Jun

During this financial year 2022/2023 the number of dancers attending this New Vogue activity has decreased drastically. We hope to have more participants join this healthy activity. Everyone is welcome to join.. We collect $6 per person as an entrance fee to join this activity. All collections are used to support the maintenance of Chung Wah Balcatta Cultural Centre.

During this financial year we organised a New Years Eve Dinner and Dance party with about 100 people attending the function. We also held a Christmas in July dance and a Christmas Dance with afternoon tea.

We also celebrated Father's Day with afternoon tea.

Line Dancing Doreen Chin Since Chung Wah Line Dancing started in 2004, the activity is still going strong with many of the dancers, who joined the activity at the Balcatta Cultural Hall many years ago, still attending the weekend classes. It is a very proactive group, with occasional, sometimes impromptu jamming sessions, where dancers were encouraged to dress up. Chung Wah Line Dancing Group and Chung Wah New Vogue jointly funded the renovation and maintenance of Chung Wah Balcatta Hall floor and stage at a cost of $28,663.25 in September 2023. I would like to thank current Chung Wah line dancers for their many years of support.

During 2023, the Chung Wah Table Tennis team has welcomed table tennis fans every Sunday afternoon. At the beginning of this year, with the support of Chung Wah Association Exco members, office staff and cooperation of table tennis fans and other associations, the Chung Wah Table Tennis group held the Western Australia International Table Tennis Friendship Tournament to celebrate Australia Day. Many table tennis clubs in WA were invited to participate in the competition and the Chung Wah table tennis team was the most outstanding in the competition.

The Chung Wah Tai Chi Class is open for enrolment for all age groups and weekly classes are held at Chung Wah Hall, on James Street, Northbridge.

The class term commenced in July 2022, consisting of ten-week lessons, with Master HE Chang Dai as instructor of the class. Students learn foundation skills of Tai Ji, including 13 form and 24 form, pushing hand and meditation from a renowned master of martial arts.

After the competition, Mulan Association, Chung Wah Choir and the Little Spaceship Dance School presented wonderful performances. The brilliant performances received much applause. A buffet of food was provided to participants. This event enabled a deeper understanding of Chinese Culture. We will continue to enhance the fellowship and provide a healthy lifestyle to the community.

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese exercise which became popular in Western society as it brings strong health benefits to all practitioners and it represents oriental philosophy of martial arts. We will continue our promotion of Chung Wah Tai Chi Class in the hope that more and more people will join the class and reap huge health benefits out of it.

Historical Group 历史组 Another busy year of promoting the Chinese story in WA, answering queries and presenting talks about the early Chinese, in a variety of formats.

In December 2022 the Chung Wah Hall was used as one of the locations for a short film entitled ‘The Rules of Mahjong”. I was one of a group of people shown in the film, which was one of five short films commissioned by the State Library of WA in collaboration with Screen West and LotteryWest. All the films were launched in August 2023 and can be viewed on the Library’s website.

Visitors to the old East Perth Cemetery can now add an audio element to a tour with a short segment about the Chinese burials which I presented for the National Trust (WA). In July The West Australian Newspapers celebrated 190 years of publication. They selected 21 people to be interviewed about events and memories of WA’s history. I was selected as the only Asian, and spoke about growing up in Northbridge among the few remaining early Chinese in Perth.

Currently I am liaising with the Northern Territory Chung Wah Society regarding the return of a temple urn which was ‘salvaged’ by an Australian air force personnel, during the bombing of Darwin in 1942. It was donated to the Perth Chung Wah Association in the 1994. Before the urn can be returned it requires some professional conservation work. I will keep the community upto-date with it’s progress. The aim is to return the urn to the NT around September 2024 while there is a conference to discuss Northern Australian Chinese history.

Closer to home there are a couple of important projects which require volunteers who can preferably speak Cantonese.

Karrakatta Cemetery is keen to translate some old Chinese head-stones which have very little or no English carved on them. This project involves photographing each headstone and then adding it to a document template with the added translated script.

The other project is interviewing mostly past Chinese restaurant owners and capturing their stories for the archives. We are also keen to collect photographs of the restaurants and customers enjoying meals, old menus or other ephemera (e.g. business cards, calendars, advertising materials).

In 2029 the state turns 200 and Chung Wah will be 120 years. Any information we can gather about our Chinese history prior to these important events will add to the state’s cultural and social history.

For further information please contact the Chung Wah Office or email to history@chungwah.org.au. Help us preserve our history and keep it for future generations of Australians.

Revenue

The overall revenue of the Chung Wah Association amounted to $15,589,006, with the Chung Wah Community Services (CWCC) revenue for the financial year reaching $14,086,608. This accounted for 91.6 percent of the Chung Wah Association’s total revenue. The increase in CWCC’s revenue can be attributed mainly to business expansion, cost-saving measures, and an increase in welfare revenue from the government-funded system.

Revenue from association services increased by over 9.8 percent this year, reaching $835,945. This

Income Surplus

Chung Wah Association posted an operating surplus of $1,381,401, marking a substantial 45% increase compared to the previous year’s annual surplus of $955,194. In contrast, CWCC achieved a remarkable 72% increase in its surplus this year, reaching $1,451,662. The continuous growth of CWCC’s earnings is inseparable from a leadership team with advanced management concepts and a harmonious and enterprising team.

However, Association Services experienced a deficit this year, shifting from a surplus of $75,638 in the previous year to a deficit of $62,018. This change can be attributed to limited growth in membership income and rental income, offset by increased

growth can be primarily attributed to government funding for capital works within the Association, increased income from each cultural group affiliated with the Association, as well as contributions from fundraising activities and social sponsorships.

Chung Wah Chinese School (CWCS) experienced an 8 percent increase in revenue from the previous year, reaching $666,453. This improvement can be attributed to the broader societal recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to an increase in the number of students attending the school.

expenditures on property maintenance, as well as the impact of a higher inflation rate this year. It aligns with the normal pattern and would be in surplus if we were to include the rent income from CWCC (which was treated as inter-company transactions) Despite a milder impact of the COVID-19 pandemic this year, Chung Wah Chinese schools recorded a deficit of $8,243, in contrast to the surplus of $34,148 from the previous year. The deficit was primarily caused by lower student enrolment in the three new schools, especially the recently established school in Geraldton, which resulted in reduced government funding and increased expenses.

2023财年财务报告

全

年，中华会馆致力为会员及社区提供福利 服务、教育、文化及社会活动。

财务业绩

75,638元变成了赤字62,018元。这一变化可归因于会 员收入和租金收入增长有限，被物业维修支出增加所 抵消，以及今年通货膨胀率上升的影响。它与正常模 式一致，如果我们包括中华社区服务的租金收入(被 视为公司内部交易)，它将是盈余的。

中华会馆的总收入为15,589,006元，较上年度的 13,721,054元增加14%

虽然今年受新冠肺炎疫情影响较轻，但中华中文 学校录得8,243元的赤字，而去年则录得34,148元的盈 余。赤字主要是由于三所新学校的学生入学率下降， 特别是最近在杰拉尔顿成立的学校，这导致政府资金 减少，费用增加。

中华会馆的净资产稳步增长，而现金及现金等价 物今年则增加了10%。

现金及现金等价物

在截至2023年6月30日的财政年度，中华会馆的 营运盈余为1,381,401元，较2022年的盈余955,194元 大幅增加45%。

良好的财务业绩可归因于几个因素。首先，高效 的养老保险管理体系发挥了重要作用。其次，政府拨 款和福利捐款有所增加。三是社区文化活动收入增 加。此外，服务费用的减少也促成了积极的业绩。此 外，2019冠状病毒病大流行后更广泛的社会复苏产生 了有利影响。

收入

中华会馆在财政年度的总收入达15,589,006元， 而中华社区服务的收入则达14,086,608元。这占中华 会馆总收入的91.6%。中华社区服务收入的增长主要 是由于业务扩张、成本节约措施以及政府资助制度福 利收入的增加 协 会 服 务 的 收 入今 年 增 长 超 过 9 . 8 % ，达 到 835,945元。这一增长主要归功于政府对协会内部基 本工程的资助，协会下属各文化团体的收入增加，以 及筹款活动和社会赞助的贡献· 中 华 中 文 学 校 的 收 入 比去年 增 加 了8 %，达 到 666,453元。这一改善可归因于2019冠状病毒病大流 行后更广泛的社会复苏，导致在校学生人数增加。

收入盈余

中华会馆的营运盈余为1,381,401元，较上年度的 盈余955,194元大幅增加45%。相比之下，中华社区服 务今年的盈余增长了72%，达到1,451,662元。中华社 区服务盈利的持续增长，离不开一支具有先进管理理 念的领导团队，离不开一支和谐进取的团队。 然而，协会服务今年出现了赤字，从去年的盈余

截至2023年6月30日，中华社区服务总持有现金 及现金等价物总额6,965,494元，占中华总会现金及现 金等价物总额8,320,806元的84%。中华社区服务和 中华中文学校的现金和现金等价物今年分别增长了 8%和14%。然而，协会服务的现金和现金等价物减少 了45%。

净资产、物业、厂房及设备

截至2023年6月30日，协会服务的主要资产包括 James Street和Balcatta的土地和建筑物。中华中文学 校的主要资产是电脑、办公设备和仓储设施。中华社 区服务的资产包括用于运送客户的机动车辆、办公设 备、固定装置和配件。 中华总会于二零二三年六月三十日的总净资产为 15,217,435元，较上年度的13,836,034元增加10%。 2023 年 8月5日，西 澳 大 利 亚 政 府 宣 布 将 位于 Hedley Place和Nyamur Way Bentley拐角处的一块 6,955平方米的土地(简称“土地”)转让给中华会馆。该 项目预计将于2024年1月开工，预计于2025年2月完 工。 在 土 地上社区中心的项目管 理、设 计 和建设 方 面，已经建立了一项财政援助协议。该协议于2023年9 月22日由西澳地方政府、体育及文化产业界与中华会 馆正式签订，提供5,000,000元的拨款。截至2023年10 月3日，该项目基金收到了第一期75万元。 在此，我要感谢财务/人事/行政经理John Folan; 项目协调兼行政人员黄小娟和丘柔湘；高级财务行政 人员林菊儿，以及行政人员王丽致敬，感谢她们这个 一年来的辛勤工作和宝贵的协助。
