100ZJ  Application to unincorporated associations
 (1) This Part, and the Water Markets Intermediaries Code, apply to an unincorporated association as if the unincorporated association were a person. However, an obligation that would otherwise be imposed on the association:
 (a) is imposed on each member of the association's committee of management instead; and
 (b) may be discharged by any of the members.
 (2) If, apart from this subsection, an unincorporated association would contravene a civil penalty provision, the contravention is taken to have been committed by each member of the association's committee of management.
 (3) A member of an unincorporated association's committee of management does not contravene a civil penalty provision because of subsection (2), if the member:
 (a) does not know of the circumstances that constitute the contravention of the provision concerned; or
 (b) knows of those circumstances but takes all reasonable steps to correct the contravention as soon as possible after the member becomes aware of those circumstances.
Note: A defendant bears an evidential burden in relation to the matters in this subsection: see section 154E.
