GrAEmE CALLS iT A DAY
Graeme Anderson has stepped aside as the President of Ski Lodges Association of Perisher,
Smiggins and Guthega Incorporated (SLOPES). For those who don’t know SLOPES are an effective
representative body that have continued to improve life for the Club and for all lodges in and around
the Perisher Blue resort. In Graeme’s 11 years as SLOPES president he has been instrumental in
many key initiatives:
• LAND VALUATIONS IN 1996 - Hundreds of thousands of dollars in rentals were saved by working with
the Valuer Generals Department to bring in a system of valuing the Lodges at the Perisher Range based
on location and bed licenses.
• INSURANCE - In 2003 SLOPES developed a new insurance regime, saving premiums of around $400,000
a year, which has gone on to exceed $500,000 a year saving for Clubs
• TAX TREATMENT OF CLUBS - In 2008 the Australian Tax Office issued a challenge to a club that could
have had adverse implications for all ski Clubs. SLOPES intervened and assisted the Club financially
in preparing an excellent accurate analysis of how that Club encouraged Sport. Ultimately, the ATO
withdrew and the tax exemption remained in place.
We wish Graeame the best of luck with whatever he turns his attention to next!
