Nice to see - but...

I'm no great WordPress fan, but Wix is single source,
dynamic-only/Javascript reliant, search-unfriendly; and unless you had:

 * a keen new team of content editors;
   * with at least a couple who are not due to graduate in 2018 or or 2019
 * who all refused to learn the "old" site; and
 * would _only_ contribute to a "new" site

...I wouldn't make that move.

Either way, that keen new team is about the only way to get some ongoing
content updates.

If you want an "update", static site generation is the way to get a
simple, fast, secure, re-homeable website these days.
(so many choices: https://www.staticgen.com/ )

Anyone (Nic?) want a busybee to get Nic's new art into a self-hosted site?
For good measure we could take a browse of:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/unisfa.gu.uwa.edu.au
...to make sure we're not missing any content from the previous move.

Also, what are the chances of getting the meeting minutes directly
included on the current site (or any replacement) as plain text or HTML?
The PDF emails suffice, but they're a bit of annoying makework to browse
through/search.

Nick.
