2 The registered clubs industry in NSW Since 1998, 105 clubs have amalgamated and 184 clubs have ceased to trade, while only 35 new club premises have been established. In 2007, there were 1,375 registered clubs operating across 1,532 premises in NSW. 10 Since 2000, regulatory changes that have affected the performance of clubs include: The introduction of new responsible gambling measures, such as restrictions on gaming machine operating hours, caps on the number of gaming machines, and stricter requirements on applications for new entitlements as well as on transferring existing entitlements to other club premises. The phased introduction of smoking restrictions in enclosed public areas of hotels, registered clubs, nightclubs and most parts of the Star City Casino. All enclosed areas of these types of venue became totally smoke-free from 2 July 2007. The phased introduction of increased rates of tax on gaming machine revenue over the last three years. A Memorandum of Understanding is currently in place between the Government and the industry that outlines the rates of tax on gaming machine revenue until 2011/12. 2.2 The registered clubs industry and its peak bodies The registered clubs industry in NSW includes a variety of clubs that offer different services to cater to different interest groups. The most common club categories, by interest group, are: Returned & Services League (RSL) and services clubs bowling golf leagues and football other sports and recreation community and workers religious and cultural other. As outlined in Table 2.1, around half of the club premises in NSW are either bowling or RSL/services facilities (50 per cent). The next largest group of club premises is golf and other sport/recreation facilities (29 per cent). Club premises in the ’Others’ category include those catering to less common interests, such as automobile, musician, aero and country clubs. 10 With regard to registered clubs, a distinction needs to be made between the registered club on the certificate of registration and the club premises. A registered club in NSW can operate from more than one club premise. This can be the result of amalgamating with other clubs, or simply through growth and expansion of the club’s facilities over time. 28 IPART Review of the Registered Clubs Industry in NSW
