E IPART’s methodology for record<strong>in</strong>g and valu<strong>in</strong>g clubs’<br />
social contribution<br />
IPART notes <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g issues concern<strong>in</strong>g this methodology:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Market values for different products differ based on factors such as location, type<br />
and quality <strong>of</strong> product. Therefore, where appropriate, IPART developed a range<br />
<strong>of</strong> market values for metropolitan and country facilities.<br />
Market values cannot be estimated for some club-provided facilities. IPART<br />
recommends that no market values be attributed to <strong>the</strong>se products and <strong>the</strong><br />
contributions associated with <strong>the</strong>m be acknowledged qualitatively.<br />
Club sale prices and annual sale quantities have not been collected by ACG as<br />
part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> survey. IPART <strong>the</strong>refore recommends an alternative calculation <strong>of</strong><br />
direct <strong>in</strong>-k<strong>in</strong>d social contributions.<br />
The follow<strong>in</strong>g sections explore how IPART has accounted for <strong>the</strong>se difficulties.<br />

Market values differ based on location, type and quality <strong>of</strong> product<br />
IPART observed that <strong>the</strong> market prices <strong>of</strong> club-provided facilities vary based on<br />
location, type and quality <strong>of</strong> service. Ideally, <strong>the</strong>re would be a survey <strong>of</strong> market<br />
prices for each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> facilities to develop an understand<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong><br />
market prices. Given that this was not practical, IPART accounted for <strong>the</strong>se<br />
differences by report<strong>in</strong>g a range <strong>of</strong> market values for each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. IPART obta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
market prices for a sample <strong>in</strong> both metropolitan and country locations for each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
facilities. For some products (for example, tennis courts), very little difference was<br />
observed and thus similar market prices have been applied to metropolitan and<br />
country locations.<br />
Based on this sample, IPART developed a high and low estimate range <strong>of</strong> market<br />
values. IPART notes that <strong>the</strong>se values do not necessarily reflect <strong>the</strong> absolute low and<br />
high values for <strong>the</strong>se facilities, but are likely to reflect <strong>the</strong> average low and average<br />
high prices for a typical club-provided facility.<br />
IPART calculated and reported a total value based on <strong>the</strong> midpo<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ranges<br />
estimated.<br />
Market values cannot be estimated for some club facilities<br />
For a variety <strong>of</strong> club-provided facilities, IPART was ei<strong>the</strong>r unable or did not consider<br />
it appropriate to estimate a market value on a per facility basis. These facilities are<br />
listed <strong>in</strong> Table E.1.<br />
