3 Understanding the social contributions of the registered clubs industry What clubs are already doing to advance the priorities in the State Plan The State Plan is essentially about the Government’s actions, rather than the actions of other parties such as clubs. Nevertheless, ClubsNSW’s submission listed a number of ways in which clubs already assist in advancing the Government’s priorities, through their measures to control risk drinking, combat under-age drinking and drink-driving (many clubs provide courtesy buses or subsidised taxi services), and to promote environmental sustainability. There is some evidence to suggest that effective partnerships have already been developed between the clubs industry and government agencies. Clubs, particularly smaller clubs which rely heavily on volunteer contributions from their members, are also a potential mechanism for increasing the proportion of the community involved in volunteering or group sporting or recreational opportunities, another of the State Plan’s targets. The CDSE Scheme model of local committees consisting of club, local and state government representatives is also an effective way of directing club activities towards community priorities that could also respond to priorities in the State Plan. Participants at the Wagga Wagga roundtable (Wagga Wagga City Council and the Leagues Clubs’ Association) noted that CDSE committees represent a powerful partnership between clubs and government, and that State Plan priorities can be fed into that process by the State Government representatives. However, whether or not CDSE committees actually do factor in State Plan priorities is an open question. For example, Penrith City Council’s submission to the issues paper suggests that its CDSE committee does not currently consider State Plan priorities and would require additional funding to do so. (This suggests a misunderstanding of the nature of the State Plan, which is about setting priorities for existing funding.) Some larger clubs, such as the Panthers Entertainment Group and Mounties, are already working directly in partnership with local and/or the NSW government outside the CDSE framework and are aware of the State Plan priorities in that way. For example, the Panthers Entertainment Group representative at the Sydney roundtable spoke of his club’s ’Panthers on the Prowl’ community youth outreach program as a direct partnership with three levels of government that responds to State Plan priorities. What clubs might do in future to advance the priorities in the State Plan Clubs are referred to explicitly only once in the State Plan, under Priority E8, in an initiative described as “working with hotels and clubs to more effectively support arts, cultural and sporting activities, especially in rural and regional areas”. A working group has been established to develop two pilot “sport accords” involving clubs, schools and the local council in two local government areas. The process of developing an accord involves liaising with the community to identify the most 66 IPART Review of the Registered Clubs Industry in NSW

Once these issues are identified, the accord becomes the community’s plan for addressing them. For example, the working group might identify that a lack of facilities is a key factor limiting sport participation. Through an accord process, a registered club might undertake to upgrade and maintain a school’s oval in return for the school making the oval available to the wider community on weekends. This is consistent with what has already happened with some clubs and local councils – for example, Mounties maintains council sporting grounds in Liverpool as a community contribution, and Tathra Beach Country Club built and maintains an oval for community use. IPART considers that the accords’ activities could be extended, so that a similar approach is taken to improving access to other community recreational and cultural facilities, such as meeting rooms and exhibition spaces. In addition, given the conflicting evidence about whether or not CDSE committees are considering State Plan priorities, there is scope to give additional advice to the committees that they should be doing so. IPART’s recommendations for improving the operations of CDSE committees are discussed in Chapter 5. Review of the Registered Clubs Industry in NSW IPART 67
