President’sReportThe Royal Agricultural Society ofWestern Australia (RASWA) had a verysuccessful and rewarding year in 2004.We celebrated one hundred years atClaremont and achieved the best everattendance of 483,761 at the PerthRoyal Show. The Show was namedofficially as an icon of Western Australiaand the Western AustralianGovernment kindly funded freeattendance at the Show for childrenunder 16.Clearly our Show is popular with thepublic and valued as a great event forthe education and entertainment offamilies and children. The Governmentsupport made it possible for morefamilies to attend and they did so withenthusiasm. This was tremendouslyencouraging for all who contributed tomake the Show successful. Thesecontributors are the Members ofRASWA, the volunteers includingCouncillors, RASWA staff, exhibitors andsponsors. We can all rejoice in therecognition and outcome achieved thisyear and resolve to use it as a greatplatform to build on for success in thefuture.Among the highlights at this year’sShow were the Guest Nation displaywith Tuscany representing Italy, themagnificent Landcare exhibition andthe Centennial display of memorabiliaand attractions from past Shows. OurPatron, His Excellency, LieutenantGeneral John Sanderson, Governor ofWestern Australia launched Adversityand Achievement – A History of theRoyal Agricultural Society of WesternAustralia, copies of which may bepurchased from the RASWA office.The Tuscan exhibition was colourfuland entertaining and was supported bya four day visit to WA by the Presidentof Tuscany. In return, he has invitedour State to “put the best of WA” onShow at Tuscany’s premier exhibitionin 2005.The very successful Guest Nationprogram at the Perth Royal Show isthe result of a partnership betweenRASWA and the Department ofIndustry & Resources. Malaysia willbe the 2005 Guest Nation.Strong support from the Departmentof Conservation & Land Management(CALM) and the Minister forEnvironment enables the RASWALandcare Committee and its keensupporters to mount a display thatachieves outstanding results everyyear.Given the importance of landcare inthe Western Australian environmentand the strong community interest itengenders, this display is arguably,one of the most important at thePerth Royal Show.The Department of Agriculture and itsMinister are also valued supporters ofthe Rural Ambassador Award and theCentenary Pavilion which house theDistrict Displays, as well as setting upan informative demonstration of workcarried out by the Department. Thisis strongly endorsed by the RASWAbecause it is designed to stimulatethe interest of young people andattract them into agriculturalindustries.Besides working so effectively withGovernment Departments, RASWAhas also been working, perhaps lessvisibly but very productively withaffiliated Agricultural Societies. RiskManagement, Insurance, GSTManagement, Liquor Licensing areissues we have addressed together.RASWA continues to assist with JuniorJudging Competitions at variousWestern Australian Country Shows,funds Scholarships for Year 11 HighAchievers at each of the AgriculturalColleges and is currently working withthe other Royals on the award of aScholarship for Students in TertiaryAgricultural Courses who are activelyinvolved in the RASWA or an affiliatedAgricultural Society.In 2004 RASWA offered for the firsttime discounted Membership to itsMembers who are also Members of anaffiliated Agricultural Society. This isintended to boost Membership for bothRASWA and the affiliated AgriculturalSocieties.We are also seeking to assist affiliatedAgricultural Societies and majorsponsors by encouraging singlesponsorship contracts which givesponsors exposure at the Shows ofall participating Agricultural Societies.This will benefit all parties.There are three exciting possible futureprojects for RASWA currently underactive investigation.The refurbishment and extension of theCentenary Pavilion is the subject of ajoint bid for $11 million to the WesternAustralian and CommonwealthGovernments. The relocation of theClaremont Football Club to theShowgrounds is still underconsideration. It would necessitateextensive externally fundedimprovements to facilities to meet theneeds of the football club which wouldalso be to the advantage of RASWAand Showgoers and the community ofWestern Australia.RASWA has joined with Mirvac Fini toexplore opportunities to redevelop theShowgrounds and make more use ofthe grounds outside of the Perth RoyalShow while enhancing its utility of theannual Show. In particular, we areexamining the opportunities andconsequences of bidding forgovernment support for the new12,000 seat stadium. ReplacingContinued over...1

Burswood Dome, its primary purposeis to be a venue for the Hopman Cup,but it would also be used for otherevents.Examining these projects and ensuringthey are to the maximum advantageof the RASWA and its constituents isa challenge that Council is pursuingdiligently.Another challenge for the future willbe for Council to better meet theexpectations of Members of RASWA.In recent years we have endeavouredto improve services to Members butCouncil is conscious that more isexpected.It was with great sadness that theSociety recorded the passing of twoPast Presidents – Milton Isbister andPeter Carter. Both were highlyrespected and will be greatly missedby us all. It was also with sadness torecord the passing of Hon LifeMember, Sir Francis Burt.Mr Robert Hayes-Thompson wasawarded Hon Councillor status inrecognition of his valuable and longservice to RASWA and Sir CharlesCourt was awarded Hon LifeMembership for his ongoing supportof RASWA.As my term of President comes to anend Judy and I would like toacknowledge the wonderful supportwe have received from all quarters ofthe Royal Agricultural Society and itsaffiliated Agricultural Societies. ToCouncillors, Staff, Members and allthose associated to RASWA thank you.I have great confidence in handingover the baton to Mr Ivan Solomonand his wife Margery.2004Members of CouncilPRESIDENTDR DON ROBERTSON PhD BSc Agric (Hons) – Age 62Elected to Council in 1992 and became President in 2002- his term concludes at the 2005 AGM.

CEO’sReportI write this report on the 2004 yearwith a deep sense of appreciation forthe enormous effort and contributionfrom the RASWA’s Volunteers,Councillors, Officials, Members andStaff who by year end broke virtuallyevery previous RASWA performancerecord.2004 saw the best Perth Royal Showattendance ever, the best paid entryratio and the best positive operatingcashflow on record, reflecting positivelyon our borrowings position.In all, 2004 produced an excellentoutcome and on behalf of the Society,I wish to thank everyone for theirefforts, in particular, the over 2,000volunteers who gave up their time andexpertise to make the Show a success.The Society values its volunteers andcontinues to research and develop themeans of attracting and rewardingthose who form the very foundation ofthe Society’s purpose and existence.In the year that we celebrated theSociety’s 100th year at ClaremontShowgrounds we were recognised bythe State Government as part ofWestern Australia’s 175th FoundationAnniversary with the honour of beingnominated a Western Australian Icon.This recognition included the provisionof free entry for children to the 2004Perth Royal Show. Community supportfor this generous offer was significantwith 483,761 people taking up theopportunity to visit the Show and tolearn about our great State.When I first joined the RASWA family itwas one of my greatest hopes to seethe Society continue to be relevant inthe lives of Western Australians of allages. I am greatly heartened to seethat 2004 has confirmed the ongoingpart that the Perth Royal Show playswithin the social and cultural fabric ofthe Western Australian community.The Perth Royal Show clearly bringsmore West Australians together in asense of community than any otherannual event.The Perth Royal Show is the publicface of the RASWA. Beyond the Show,the Society works hard to fulfil itscharter to service our Members andaffiliated Agricultural Societies.In 2004, the RASWA sponsored thejoint venture Urban Scrawl Projectwhich brought together a number ofyoung people and the WesternAustralian Police into a magnificent artproject on the RASWA’s boundary wallalong the railway line.A number of written compliments fromlocal residents and train commutersgives testament to what can beachieved by working towards thepositive in a sense of community,appreciation, value and worth.The RASWA continues to seesuccesses flowing from its communityinvolvement with all of the interstateRoyal Shows. 2004 saw the signing ofa nationwide Regional ScholarshipProgram with Coca-Cola Amatil. In2005 approximately 35 scholarshipswill be awarded across the nation.The RASWA continues to foster thedevelopment of the next generation inagriculture by further sponsoring anumber of scholarships across variousagricultural colleges in WesternAustralia.The Society maintained its support foraffiliated regional Agricultural Societiesby providing Risk Management servicesto assist societies meet criteriaessential for Gap Insurance coverthrough the State GovernmentCommunity Insurance Fund.As a result of the great success of the2004 Perth Royal Show the RASWAundertook to pay for affiliatedAgricultural Societies’ 2004 GapInsurance, saving individual Societiesmany thousands of dollars.The very positive outcome in the riskmanagement area for 2004 was thereturn of an Australian insurer to themarket for which Gap Insurance wasrequired. The good news is that theGroup Insurance Scheme negotiatedby the RASWA on behalf of theaffiliated Agricultural Societies will in2005 cover the 2004 risk gaps,subject to each Society meeting itsRisk Management obligations underthe policy.While the RASWA works hard on manyfronts, along with all not-for-profit,charitable organisations, it continues tobe faced with an unrelenting regulatoryenvironment in which it operates.During 2004 many changes within theworkers’ compensation, environmentaland corporate governance legislationhave placed increasing workloads andpersonal liability risks upon Councillorsand senior staff with personal penaltiesin the order of up to $250,000 andimprisonment for serious breaches.All of this means that Councillors andsenior staff must devote increasingtime and effort to compliance andsound corporate governance as thesefunctions continue to evolve into morespecialised areas of managementresponsibility.My personal thanks go out to all of theCouncillors, Members, Volunteers, Staff,Sponsors and supporting groups andthe all time record crowd that made2004 a year to remember.B J RathboneChief Executive Officer7

RASWAGovernanceThe Council of the Royal AgriculturalSociety of Western Australia (RASWA)is committed to best practice andprinciples of good governance. In thisregard it has taken a number ofinitiatives to develop and implementappropriate systems for achievinggood governance in terms of theAustralian Standard 8000-2003, GoodGovernance Principles, approved bythe Council of Standards Australia inMay 2003.The task of reviewing internal systemsand processes has presenteddemands on management and willtake time to complete. This isacknowledged by Council and it hasemployed the skills of suitablyqualified consultants where necessaryto assist and expedite the process.ConstitutionAs stated in last year’s Annual Report,the Council had at that timerecognised the need to review theRASWA Constitution and appointed aspecial committee for this purpose.Although there were no majordeficiencies in the existing document,the RASWA Constitution had not beenreviewed in its entirety for many years.That review has now been completedand Council will present a revisedConstitution for the consideration and,if appropriate, adoption by Members.Some of the more significant matterscovered by the Constitution are:(a) the objects of the RASWA;(b) membership, including classes ofMembers, privileges, subscriptions,disqualification and meetings;(c) the RASWA Council, including itspowers, composition, meetings,and the election and removal ofCouncillors;8(d) committees, including the RoyalShow Board, ManagementCommittee, Executive Committeeand the appointment of othercommittees and sub-committees;(e) the appointment and removal ofthe Auditor; and(f) other administrative matters,including records management.CouncilThe Council is comprised of aPresident, 28 elected Councillorsincluding the Vice President, and aTreasurer. Councillors are elected bypostal ballot votes from themembership of the Society. PastPresidents can choose to continue tohave responsibilities and privileges ofCouncillors.CommitteesThe Council has overall responsibilityto conduct the affairs of the Society.It operates through a number ofcommittees and sub-committees.The President, Vice-President andTreasurer are ex-officio members ofall committees and sub-committeesof the Council and no sectioncommittee or sub-committee may beestablished without the approval ofCouncil. All sub-committees mustinclude a member of theManagement Committee togetherwith not less than one otherCouncillor. The current standingcommittees of the Council are:(a) the Management Committeewhich is responsible for the day today management of the businessof the RASWA, subject to certainspecified matters which are notdelegated;(b) the Executive Committee which isempowered to meet when, in theopinion of the President or ChiefExecutive Officer, an emergencysituation arises which requires animmediate decision; and(c) the Royal Show Board which isempowered to oversee andcoordinate the activities of varioussub-committees appointed by thePresident in conjunction withCouncil, charged with theresponsibility of planning the PerthRoyal Show. This committee wasplaced into recess in 2003 and itsresponsibilities reverted toCouncil.The terms under which each of thesecommittees are appointed andfunction will be reviewed by Councilif the new RASWA Constitution isadopted by Members.Regulations and proceduresThe review of the RASWA Constitutionconducted in 2004 has highlighted anumber of regulations and proceduresthat require further consideration byCouncil; a process that is expected tobe completed during 2005. Theregulations and procedures serve toreinforce existing systems andprocesses within RASWA.ComplianceCouncil has adopted a ComplianceReporting Plan requiring managementto provide immediate disclosure of allmaterial matters regarding the Society.The program also includes reports toCouncil on a regular basis coveringkey areas such as FinancialPerformance, Complaints, CrisisManagement, Occupational Health &Safety, Risk Management, Insurance,Legal, Information Technology, theEnvironment and Human Resources.Code of conductThe Council has recognised the needto adopt a Code of Conduct whichwill aim to maintain the highestethical standards and accountabilityby all employees and office bearers ofRASWA. Employees and officebearers are required to respect thelaw, respect confidentiality, avoid

conflicts of interest, act in the bestinterests of RASWA Members and actwith honesty, integrity and decency atall times.The RASWA Code of Conduct will bedeveloped during 2005 and putforward for adoption by Council.Risk managementA review of the risk exposuresassociated with conducting the Showis undertaken annually. The risks areidentified, quantified, assessed and amanagement plan agreed inaccordance with ASNZ 4360.The insurance program is revisedeach year to ensure that all majorinsurable risk exposures are coveredby the programme.The Risk Management Plan and theinsurance programme are reviewedand approved by Council.Budgets and planningThe Council’s responsibilities includethe adoption of an operating budgetat the commencement of each yearand monitoring progress on a regularbasis against budget by both financialand non-financial key performanceindicators.

The initial reviewrevealed that there was unlikely to beany significant financial impacts on theSociety as a result of the adoption ofA-IFRS.However, the following have beenidentified as the areas where changesto the Society’s financial statementsare possible:16a) Property, plant and equipment:On transition to A-IFRS, the Society hasseveral options in the determination ofthe cost of each tangible asset, and canelect to use the cost or fair value basisfor measurement of each class ofproperty, plant and equipment aftertransition. At the date of this report, theSociety has not decided which optionsand measurement basis will be adoptedand the likely impacts therefore can notbe determined.b) Impairment of assets:Non-current assets are written downto recoverable amount when the asset’scarrying amount exceeds recoverableamount. Historically, the Society hasdiscounted cash flow in determining therecoverable amount of its non-currentassets.Under A-IFRS, both current and noncurrentassets, including property, plantand equipment are tested for impairment.In addition, A-IFRS has a moreprescriptive impairment test, and requiresdiscounted cash flows to be used wherevalue in use is used to assess recoverableamount. Consequently, on adoption ofA-IFRS, a further impairment of certainassets may need to be recognised,thereby decreasing opening retainedearnings and the carrying amount ofassets. The Society has not yetdetermined the impact, if any, of anyfurther impairment which may berequired.Going forwardThe Society’s Management Committeewill continue to investigate the impact ofA-IFRS on its financial statements overthe next financial year and will, where itconsiders necessary, seek the advice ofexternal consultants in regard to ensuringthat the 2005 financial statements are incompliance with A-IFRS and that thetransition to A-IFRS is managedappropriately.
