How about forming the Ice In Space Dark Site Cooperative?
I'm neither a legal expert nor a real estate person but consider this...
At present there are 6,747 members...if each "joined" the Coop at $38.53 each you would have your new dark site.
Yes, I know it is not that easy but you get the idea.
Cooperative owns it and is run by an elected (yet unpaid) staff/committe.
Annual dues/assesments (or use fees) could generate upkeep and improvements...
Not sure about Coop Law in Australia but each contributor would then have a share of the Coop, they would be valued at assets divided by number of outstanding shares...value changes with the change in assets, a share is transferable etc. etc. In the USA Coops get certain favorable tax treatments as they are not designed to make profit only deliver a service...
If the Coop ever "Wound Down" the parcel is sold and revenue distributed to the Coop share holders...no tears!
