Investors should carefully read the section on risk factors outlined in section 6. An investment of this kind involves a number of risks, a number of which are specific to the Company and the industry in which it operates. However, these risks should not be taken to be exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or its shareholders. Those risk factors referred to section 6, and others not specifically referred to in section 6, may materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of its Shares in the future. The Company has implemented strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks. However, some risks are beyond its control.

‘MOBBz’ welcome as new shareholders of Binna Burra Lodge.
MOBBz is a group for Millennials' + Gen Z who are touched by the 'spirit of Binna Burra' and were impacted by the 2019 bushfire devastation. We want to encourage this generation to be 'co-creators', not just members/shareholders of Binna Burra.
It was produced by two Griffith University Honours College graduates, Nadya De Vos and Anna Twomey. Both have completed their Bachelor of Film and Screen Media Production from the Griffith Film School. Anna was also a recipient of the New Colombo Plan initiative of the Australian Government.
Over the past 12 months, they have worked with another Griffith University alumni (and a shareholder of Binna Burra Lodge), Tanner Noakes, to prepare a short promo video aimed at attracting a younger generation of small shareholders into Binna Burra Lodge Ltd – a social enterprise with a strong environmental impact. The Binna Burra project was part of Nadya and Anna’s UN Millennium Fellows project that focused on producing promotional videos for social enterprises in their local community.
'My sense is that as we lay the foundations of the next 86 years of Binna Burra, we would be wise to engage the inputs of the millennial generation to encourage new and bold conversations with people who have the enthusiasm, energy and skills to initiate technological, social and environmental change for the betterment of Binna Burra and the Lamington National Park.' Steve Noakes, Chairperson, Binna Burra Lodge.
‘We intentionally kept the entry level of $1 shares with a minimum of 500 shares as a low figure to encourage more younger generations to become part of the future story of the Binna Burra Cultural Landscape’ he concluded.
