Associate Membership

Associate Membership exists for businesses outside the BID map area. If you have a business interest in Avondale, we welcome your application.

Associate members enjoy the same benefits as Full Members but with an annual fee of $220+gst. They must also abide by the rules of the society and may attend AGMs and Special General Meetings but have no voting rights. Associate Members may be appointed to sit on the Executive Board.

Please use the form below to apply for Membership or Associate Membership, both of which must be ratified by the Executive.

Life Membership

The Avondale Business Association will formally introduce Life Membership to its constitution at the 2025 AGM. The Board will consider all nominations and, by unanimous vote, may confer Life Membership on a nominee.

However, it has long recognized Alison Turner as a Life Member.

Alison, who celebrated her 90th birthday in June 2025, was the first Treasurer of the Association when it was formed in 2002. In 1977, she opened Felice Coiffure on St Georges Road, which later became Felice Hair Design, now run by her daughter, Sandra Paterson.

Life Membership is an honorary title awarded to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional commitment and service to the Association.
