4 Measur<strong>in</strong>g and report<strong>in</strong>g on club contributions<br />

IPART’s terms <strong>of</strong> reference ask it to recommend a methodology for identify<strong>in</strong>g and<br />

record<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> registered clubs <strong>in</strong>dustry’s social contributions, specifically<br />

its provision <strong>of</strong> social <strong>in</strong>frastructure and services. IPART has developed this<br />

methodology, and used it to estimate that <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> clubs’ direct social<br />

contributions <strong>in</strong> 2007 was $811 million. 69 This estimate <strong>in</strong>cludes <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> cash<br />

donations, <strong>in</strong>-k<strong>in</strong>d provision <strong>of</strong> sport<strong>in</strong>g and community facilities, and volunteer<br />

labour. It does not <strong>in</strong>clude <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>direct contributions made by clubs (such as <strong>the</strong><br />

sense <strong>of</strong> community well-be<strong>in</strong>g generated by <strong>the</strong>ir existence). Under IPART’s<br />

methodology, <strong>in</strong>direct contributions are identified and recorded qualitatively ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

than quantitatively.<br />

IPART notes that a recent study by ACG estimated that <strong>the</strong> benefit <strong>the</strong> <strong>NSW</strong><br />

community derives from club-provided goods and services is between $59 million<br />

and $224 million a year. This study used a ‘choice modell<strong>in</strong>g’ technique to estimate<br />

<strong>the</strong> extent to which consumers are will<strong>in</strong>g to pay more for club-provided goods and<br />

services than <strong>the</strong> price at which clubs provide <strong>the</strong>m. This is a very different<br />

approach to <strong>the</strong> one IPART used to develop its estimate <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> clubs’ direct<br />

social contributions. As a consequence, its results are not comparable with IPART’s<br />

estimate. (ACG’s choice modell<strong>in</strong>g approach is fur<strong>the</strong>r described <strong>in</strong> Appendix F.)<br />

The sections below discuss <strong>in</strong> more detail:<br />

IPART’s preferred approach for measur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> registered clubs<br />

IPART’s estimate <strong>of</strong> this value for 2007, which it calculated us<strong>in</strong>g its preferred<br />

approach.<br />

IPART’s recommendations <strong>in</strong> relation to identify<strong>in</strong>g and record<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> clubs <strong>in</strong>dustry’s social contributions.<br />

69 This estimate has been revised downwards s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong> release <strong>of</strong> IPART’s draft report due to an<br />

adjustment <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> volunteer labour. In prepar<strong>in</strong>g its draft report, IPART had access to<br />

prelim<strong>in</strong>ary data on <strong>the</strong> total levels <strong>of</strong> volunteer labour for <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustry. Disaggregated data have<br />

s<strong>in</strong>ce become available, enabl<strong>in</strong>g IPART to make adjustments <strong>in</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e with <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>tent <strong>of</strong> its draft<br />

recommendations.<br />
