In 2010 the Cities of Yarra and Darebin determined that they would support the transition of the Friends of Baucau from being a committee of Council to becoming an independent community association. This was the starting point for the Friends of Baucau Incorporated, registered in October 2010. The Cities of Yarra and Darebin are committed to continuing to have a friendship with the District of Baucau, and working together with the Friends of Baucau to achieve support for Baucau.
