3 Understanding the social contributions of the registered clubs industry Recommendations 1 That clubs seek to increase the training opportunities they provide for people in their local area, and increase the promotion of these opportunities, especially in regional and rural locations. 2 That ClubsNSW increase awareness of the employment opportunities that clubs provide, particularly in the tertiary graduate and over age 55 segments of the labour market. This should be achieved through better targeting and improved advertising of employment opportunities in the broader labour market. Given the important role that volunteers play in the clubs industry, IPART considers it essential that clubs continue to involve and retain volunteers. In a submission, ClubsNSW argued that, like other organisations that use volunteer labour, clubs face barriers to involving volunteers. It highlighted a recent survey by Volunteers Australia that found that 51 per cent of organisations experience barriers to involving volunteers, including difficulty in attracting and retaining volunteers with suitable skills and training, and the costs and administration associated with complying with legislative and procedural requirements. 67 During its review, IPART observed that these barriers are particularly apparent in relation to club directors. All club directors are volunteers and play an important role in maintaining the financial viability of registered clubs. This issue is discussed further in Chapters 6 and 9. IPART acknowledges that clubs make a significant contribution by providing employment and other economic opportunities, including their payments to contractors, use of volunteers, provision of training, contributions to tourism and taxation revenue. While these contributions are not unique to the clubs industry, IPART considers that the industry should continue to measure and report on these contributions, for example through ClubsNSW’s regular (usually every four years) industry survey. Recommendation 3 That the registered clubs industry continue to measure and report on the employment and other economic opportunities it provides, for example through ClubsNSW’s four– yearly industry survey. To better understand these contributions, this information should be provided by club size, type and location. In a submission, ClubsNSW suggested that the economic opportunities provided by registered clubs in regional areas could be enhanced by improving clubs’ access to existing NSW Government development programs such as: The Payroll Tax Incentive Scheme. Regional Business Development Scheme. Regional Economic Transition Scheme. 67 Volunteering Australia, National Survey of Volunteering Issues, 2007. 64 IPART Review of the Registered Clubs Industry in NSW
3 Understanding the social contributions of the registered clubs industry New Market Expansion Program for Regional Enterprise. Developing Regional Resources Program. Main Street/Small Towns Program. 68 IPART acknowledges this suggestion, and notes that while there are many assistance schemes available, many clubs are unaware that they could be eligible. Therefore, IPART recommends that ClubsNSW improves industry awareness of these programs by providing regular updates to its members on existing programs and any new programs as they become available. Recommendation 4 That ClubsNSW improve industry awareness of programs targeting regional and state development, by providing information on their existence and assistance to clubs to gain access to these programs. 3.4.2 Aligning clubs’ contributions with the priorities of the State Plan The State Plan – a new direction for NSW was released in November 2006. It focuses on five areas of activity of the NSW Government: Rights, Respect and Responsibility – the justice system and services that promote community involvement and citizenship. Delivering Better Services – key services to the whole population including health, education and transport. Fairness and Opportunity – services that promote social justice and reduce disadvantage. Growing Prosperity Across NSW – activities that promote productivity and economic growth, particularly in rural and regional NSW. Environment for Living – planning for housing and jobs, environmental protection, arts and recreation. The State Plan sets out the goals the community wants the NSW Government to work towards. It identifies priorities for government action that will help achieve each of these goals over the next 10 years. IPART has examined what role registered clubs might play in advancing the NSW Government’s priorities as set out in the State Plan. If found that some club activities already help to advance these priorities, but that clubs could do more in the future. 68 ClubsNSW submission, 31 July 2007, pp 88-89.
