F ACG’s approach to measuring the benefits the community derives from club-provided goods and services estimate the amount people are willing to pay to increase the level of various social services provided by clubs. 263 Before conducting the survey, ACG ran focus groups (of general community members) to identify and select the non-monetary attributes that guide consumers’ preferences for club provision of goods. Usually between three and five nonmonetary attributes are chosen for such an exercise. ACG selected five, as well as a monetary attribute that ACG defined as an annual tax payment or local government levy to fund or increase club contributions to the community. 264 The five nonmonetary attributes used in the choice modelling exercise are outlined in Table F.1. Table F.1 Non-monetary attributes that ACG used in its choice modelling exercise Attribute Quality of life for the elderly Safe environment for families Volunteer opportunities Affordable meals and entertainment Sport, health and mental well-being Description Registered clubs provide a meeting place for the elderly – both a social outlet and a place for friendship support. Some clubs also employ welfare officers who provide specific help to those in need, such as meals on wheels. Many clubs aim to cater for families and provide a safe environment for young and old. Children are cared for in a number of ways, including crèches, safe outdoor play areas and special activities. Some clubs provide low-cost child care for members. Clubs provide a supportive environment for people to get involved in volunteer activities – eg, running sporting activities – helping build better communities. Volunteers can benefit from the self-esteem and leadership values gained through volunteering. Clubs enable people to have an enjoyable night out at an affordable price – offering in particular affordable meals and entertainment. This is particularly beneficial for people on low incomes. Sport improves people’s health, fitness and mental state. Almost all registered clubs provide some form of sporting facilities – eg, gyms and bowling greens. In many towns, these sporting facilities are maintained by clubs and are available to the public.

F ACG’s approach to measuring the benefits the community derives from club-provided goods and services The focus groups were used to develop and refine the survey’s questionnaire format, which was then sent to more than 1000 community members. The survey elicited respondents’ preferences through a series of questions (called choice sets), which were used to rank the attributes in accordance with their preferences. Describing their preferences in terms of the defined set of attributes, respondents differentiated the alternative attributes from each other, demonstrating their willingness to trade one for another. Using the monetary attribute (ie, the local government levy or state tax payment), ACG made dollar estimates for changes in attribute levels and calculated consumers’ willingness to pay to maintain or secure additional units of the attributes. From its results, ACG noted that people with the following characteristics were more likely to support the maintenance of and/or improvement to community services provided by clubs: females respondents in older age groups respondents with lower education levels frequent visitors to clubs respondents with higher levels of income. 265 Table F.2 shows ACG’s estimates of community members’ willingness to pay to prevent a decline in current services levels. 265 Allen Consulting Group 2007, Valuing the Social Contribution of Registered Clubs to the NSW Community, Final Report to ClubsNSW, Sydney, pp 22-23.
