1. Introduction (1) These by-laws are the Parnpajinya Community By-laws 2006. (2) These by-laws have been made by the Committee of Management of Parnpajinya Aboriginal Association Incorporated and approved by the Governor. (3) The Association is an Aboriginal community to which the Aboriginal Communities Act 1979 applies. (4) As that Act says, these by-laws apply to you if you are on the community lands of that Aboriginal community and it does not matter if you are a member of the community or not. (5) Under that Act the Governor has said which lands are the community lands of the community. (6) You are a member of the community if you are a member of the Association under its rules. (7) These by-laws are in addition to the laws of Western Australia.

2. How the Committee makes decisions (1) When it is making a decision under these by-laws the Committee of Management will consider the welfare of the community as the most important consideration. (2) The Committee does not have to give reasons for any of its decisions under these by-laws. (3) The Committee can tell you about a decision it has made under these by-laws by speaking or writing to you or by putting up a notice of it in a public place on the community lands.
