In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, —
charitable purpose means every purpose that in accordance with the law of Western Australia is charitable;

[Section 4 amended: No. 67 of 1979 s. 71.]
Part II — Recreational charities
5.General provisions as to recreational and similar trusts etc.
(1)Subject to the provisions of this Part, it is, and shall be deemed always to have been, charitable to provide, or to assist in the provision of, facilities for recreation or other leisure‑time occupation, if the facilities are provided in the interests of social welfare.
(2)The requirement of subsection (1) that the facilities be provided in the interests of social welfare is not satisfied unless —
(a)the facilities are provided with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities are primarily intended; and
(b)either —
(i)those persons have need of those facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances; or
(ii)the facilities are to be available to members, or to male or female members, of the public at large.
(3)Subject to the requirement of subsection (1) that the facilities be provided in the interests of social welfare, that subsection applies in particular to the provision of facilities at public halls, community centres, and women’s institutes, and to the provision and maintenance of grounds and buildings to be used for purposes of recreation or leisure‑time occupation, and extends to the provision of facilities for those purposes by the organising of any activity.
(4)Nothing in this section derogates from the principle that a trust or institution, to be charitable, must be for the public benefit.
6.Savings and provisions as to past transactions
(1)Nothing in this Part restricts the purposes which are to be regarded as charitable independently of this Part.
(2)Nothing in this Part —
(a)applies to make charitable any trust, or to validate any disposition, of property, if before the commencement of this Act that property, or any property representing or forming part of it, or any income arising therefrom, has been paid or conveyed to, or applied for the benefit of, or set apart for, the persons entitled by reason of the invalidity of the trust or disposition; or
(b)affects any order or judgment made or given in legal proceedings before the commencement of this Act; or
(c)requires anything properly done before the commencement of this Act, or anything done or to be done in pursuance of a contract entered into before that commencement, to be treated for any purpose as wrongful or ineffectual.
Part III — Schemes in respect of charitable trusts
7.Property may be disposed of for other charitable purposes
(1)Subject to the provisions of subsection (3), where any property or income is given or held upon trust, or is to be applied, for any charitable purpose, and —

(b)the amount available is inadequate to carry out that purpose; or
(c)that purpose has been effected already; or
(d)that purpose is illegal or useless or uncertain,
then (whether or not there is any general charitable intention) the property and income, or any part or residue thereof, or the proceeds of sale thereof, shall be disposed of for some other charitable purpose, or a combination of such purposes, in accordance with a scheme approved under this Part.
(2)Subject to the provisions of subsection (3), where any property or income is given or held upon trust, or is to be applied, for any charitable purpose, and the property or income that has accrued or will accrue is more than is necessary for the purpose, then (whether or not there is any general charitable intention) any excess property or income or proceeds of sale may be disposed of for some other charitable purpose, or a combination of such purposes, in accordance with a scheme approved under this Part.
(3)This section shall not operate to cause any property or income to be disposed of as provided in subsection (1) or (2) —
(a)if, in accordance with any rule of law, the intended gift thereof would otherwise lapse or fail and the property or income would not be applicable for any other charitable purpose; or
(b)if, and so far as, the property or income can be disposed of under section 16 of the Charitable Collections Act 1946.
(4)This section extends to cases where the charitable purpose affecting any property or income is defined by a scheme approved by the Court or the Attorney General under this Part or otherwise, and in any such case the original purpose or purposes may be restored, with or without modification.

(c)the value of the property is too small, in relation to the charitable purpose, for any useful purpose to be achieved by the expenditure of only the income derived from that property,
then the property may be disposed of for that or another charitable purpose and the trust may be terminated in accordance with a scheme approved under this Part.
(2)This section extends to cases where the charitable purpose affecting any property is defined by a scheme approved under this Part.
