3 Understanding the social contributions of the registered clubs industry 3.1 The nature of clubs’ social contributions Registered clubs make a wide range of social contributions to their members. For example, most provide members with access to a range of facilities, including restaurants, bars, gaming rooms, sporting facilities (such as bowling greens and golf courses), fitness and leisure centres, meeting rooms and conference facilities. Many also provide social welfare services, such as visiting sick members and assisting them with shopping, transport and medical equipment. Clubs also make social contributions to their local communities, including donations to schools, charities, sporting teams and community organisations, provision of free or subsidised club services (such as meeting rooms), and participation in community outreach programs through both cash and in-kind contributions. Clubs do not have difficulty in listing the goods and services they provide, but most do not attempt to measure and record the value of these goods and services in a consistent, robust manner. Chapter 4 explains IPART’s recommended methodology for measuring this value in detail. The following sections outline its general views on classifying the nature of clubs’ social contributions and measuring the value of these contributions, and make some additional observations on the nature of clubs’ social contributions. 3.1.1 Classifying the nature and beneficiaries of clubs’ social contributions IPART considers that the social contributions registered clubs make can be divided into three categories: 1. In-house contributions for the club’s primary purpose. These contributions are for the exclusive benefit of club members and their guests, and relate to achieving the club’s primary purpose. Examples include a bowling club’s provision of bowling greens, and a golf club’s provision of a golf course. While members may be charged to use these facilities, the charge is usually less than the commercial rate. 2. In-house contributions for general member benefit. These contributions are also for the exclusive benefit of club members and their guests, but they do not relate to the club’s primary purpose. Examples include restaurants, bars, gaming machines, pool tables, professional entertainment, function rooms, opportunities for social interaction, and a sense of belonging. Again, members may have to pay to use these services and facilities, but generally pay less than a commercial rate. 3. External contributions for community benefit. These contributions benefit the wider local community within which the club is located. They can include support for community groups, such as sporting teams, schools, charities and welfare groups. 42 IPART Review of the Registered Clubs Industry in NSW
3 Understanding the social contributions of the registered clubs industry Figure 3.1 illustrates these categories. Table 3.1 provides a breakdown of the types of group that received external contributions in the form of cash payments from registered clubs in 2007. Figure 3.1 Categorisation of registered clubs’ social contributions Total club social contributions In-house contributions for club primary purpose (cash or in-kind) In-house contributions for general member benefit (cash or in-kind) External contributions for community benefit (cash or in-kind) Direct Indirect Direct Indirect Direct Indirect Table 3.1 Organisations that received cash payments from clubs (2007) Type of organisation Percentage of total club cash payments Professional sport 28 Non-professional sport 30 Health and social services 15 Education 6 Emergency services 3 Other 18 Source: Allen Consulting Group, Socio-Economic Impact Study of Clubs in NSW (2007), 2008, p 48. As Figure 3.1 indicates, all three categories of social contribution can be broken down into further categories. First, the contributions in each category can be either a direct contribution or an indirect contribution: Direct contributions are the result of direct action by a club. For example, the provision of a cash grant is an example of direct external contribution for community benefit. The provision of discounted meals is a direct in-house contribution for general member benefit. Review of the Registered Clubs Industry in NSW IPART 43
