Report to ClubsNSW, Sydney, p 25.
Extrapolating these findings to estimate the NSW population’s aggregate willingness
to pay, ACG estimated that the NSW community is willing to pay between
$59 million per year and $224 million per year (through a direct household
contribution) to prevent a decline in club-provided community services. 266 To
improve club-provided community services (in line with Table F.2), ACG estimated
that the NSW community is willing to pay between $73.4 million per year and
$281 million per year. 267
