President’s Report It is with pleasure and a touch of sadness, that I present my 13th and

fi nal annual report as President of Sport SA.

It is time that I ‘hung up the boots’ and I

have made the decision to step down from

the position of President following our

forthcoming Annual General Meeting. There

is always a need in organisations such as

ours for fresh ideas and energy which a new

leader can provide.

I fi rst came onto the Sport SA Board in 1998

and have been privileged to meet and work

with some wonderful people in the past 18

years. Back then Kathy Stanton AM was

the CEO and we were housed in premises

on Henley Beach Road. Due to Kathy’s and

Murray Tippett’s (then President) hard work

we obtained funds to build our current

premises, the Industry Skills Centre, which

was opened in September 2004 by our then

Patron, Marjorie Nelson-Jackson AC, CVO,

MBE.

There have been many exciting (and some

disappointing) times since I became

President in 2006. And many changes which

have affected the sports industry. 2005

saw the Government roll out its ‘child safe’

strategy and in 2007 the State Sport Dispute

Centre was introduced. That was also the

year ‘our Marj’ retired as Governor and Rear

Admiral Kevin John Scarce AC, CSC, RANR

became the Governor and our new Patron.

They have both been wonderful supporters of

Sport SA and our members.

I have been fortunate to have attended about

a dozen South Australian Masters Games all

over the State, from Ceduna in the far west

to Port Pirie and Clare in the north, and to

Naracoorte in the south-east. They have all

been rewarding experiences.

The year 2010 was signifi cant in that the

South Australian Sport Hall of Fame became

a reality after much hard work by Marg

Ralston AM and our CEO Jan Sutherland and

with wonderful support by Rob Gerard AO

and his Board of Governors. The inaugural

dinner was held in November that year at

the Entertainment Centre and was a great

success. Our next objective was to fi nd

premises for a South Australian Sports

Museum which would also be a home for our

Hall of Fame.

In 2011 the Minister for Recreation and Sport,

Michael Wright, announced a signifi cant

increase in funding for facilities grants,

something for which we had been lobbying

for many years. Sadly, in 2013, following

Michael’s retirement as Minister, the

Government reduced the funding back to its

pre 2011 level.

On a brighter note, in 2014 Minister Leon

Bignell, with encouragement from Robert

Gerard, offered Sport SA premises in North

Terrace for our Sports Museum. The challenge

now is to raise suffi cient funds to fi t out the

building and in May this year a function was

held at the premises to reveal the plans for the

museum and launch the fund raising program.

As I look back on the past 18 years I still have

some frustrations regarding Government

commitment to sport and particularly in

relation to funding for facilities. There have

been some achievements such as the new

aquatic centre, a second hockey pitch,

upgraded facilities for rowing, canoeing and

dragon boating at West Lakes to name a few.

The Adelaide Oval upgrade has turned this

facility into a world class stadium which Sport

SA applauds. But imagine if a Government

would spend just half of that amount on

improving facilities for other sports in this

State. What is exciting is the announcement

that South Australia is intending to bid for

the 2026 or 2030 Commonwealth Games. If

this bid were to be successful there would

be a signifi cant legacy for sport in terms of

improved sporting facilities.

While I am cognisant of the need for political

neutrality it is fair to say that Sport SA is very

disappointed by Government and Department

decisions over the past year or so. In addition

to the reduction of funding for facilities grants,

the recent decision regarding traineeship

funding is another blow for Sport SA and its

members. Also we have been advised that the

Offi ce for Recreation and did not approve the

grant application for the Sport Awards program

and dinner in 2015, and we are unsure of the

Premier’s grant this year. I do not think of this

as purely a Sport SA event, even though we

have the organising role. This should be viewed

as an event for all of South Australia and an

opportunity to recognise our sporting heroes

and ensure their history will be preserved for

future generations. I would have thought that

should be important for any party with the

responsibility of governing our State.

Another matter I have noted over the past

years is the reluctance, at times, for sporting

associations to come together as one to use

their mass numbers to infl uence government

policy and decisions. I do understand that

each association have their own priorities

and sometimes do not want to ‘rock the

boat’, particularly if they are in the process of

seeking major government funding. I’m not

sure whether this will ever change but there

are sometimes issues where the interests of

the sporting industry and community are likely

to be in unison.

The recent changes to child protection are

a good example. While Sport SA, without

reservation, supports all reasonable

measures to ensure the protection of

children, the new requirements are still not

entirely clear and in some circumstances

may be seen as unreasonable. Quite apart

from the new screening measures, further

attention should be given to establishing

proper procedures regarding interaction

with children. We continue to seek defi nitive

information as to these requirements for our

members.

Well, perhaps it’s time I got off my soapbox

and wrote a few words of appreciation to

all those who have helped and supported

me over the years, in particular the Board

members and staff of Sport SA. There are

too many to mention but I should single out

the two CEOs, Kathy Stanton AM and Jan

Sutherland. Their knowledge of the industry,

their commitment and work ethic and their

integrity are unsurpassed and I am very

grateful to both of them. I’m also much

appreciative of the support that has been

given to Sport SA by Robert Gerard AO and

other Board of Governors members and the

many volunteers who have contributed in

many capacities.

I also wish to thank the various Ministers

and opposition Members that I have dealt

with – their willingness to discuss issues and

invite our input has been most welcomed

and I have been similarly included in

regular meetings with both the previous and

current Executive Directors of the Offi ce for

Recreation and Sport, namely Phil Hamdorf

and Paul Anderson. Thank you both.

Finally to the most important people – our

members and sponsors. It has indeed been

a privilege to have met so many Association

CEOs, Presidents, board members, athletes

and sponsors. I consider myself extremely

fortunate in that regard.

I wish all of you success for the future.

Chief Executive Offi cer’s ReportIn 2014 – 2015 Sport SA has operated in a challenging and rewarding

year and there is no doubt that sport continue to enjoy a great profi le.

Sport has certainly been prominent and it

is essential that community sport and the

contribution is recognised and valued. This

advocacy role is at the centre of our strategic

plan and underpins our drive for greater

recognition of sport including and beyond the

high performance achievements. Our role

and responsibilities have not changed greatly

and we are delivering key strategic projects

for the sports sector.

Following the State Election in 2014 and the

return of the Labor government, we have

maintained our positive relationships across

all parties and I would like to thank Minister

Bignell, the Opposition Spokesperson for

Recreation and Sport, Tim Whetstone MP and

Minister Brock for the productive discussions

addressing current issues. In addition, I have

appreciated opportunities for clarifi cation of

government policy and practices with staff in

the Education and Premier’s Departments.

The Child Protection policy has not been

fi nalised and I continue to alert DECD to

concerns and barriers faced by organisations

in meeting requirements as they ensure

that sport is a safe environment. My

membership of the DCSI Screening Customer

Reference Group has provided insight into

the challenges, which are being faced. In

2015, I am optimistic that the processes will

be streamlined and there will be recognition

of the need for support of the volunteer

workforce without the burden of additional

requirements and regulations.

Community Sport Australia, which is the

national company of the State Sports

Federations, has become involved in more

dialogue at the federal level and it is evident

that there will be an opportunity to present

a platform for community sport at the next

Federal election. At our recent meeting,

the challenges facing community sport

across Australia were identifi ed as the fi rst

step in a changing environment while many

issues remain on the agenda. This includes

the volunteer workforce, infrastructure,

capability and capacity of the industry and the

evolving participation trends.

Last year I congratulated the government

on the introduction of the Sports Vouchers

program for primary school students. This

investment in the development of a healthy,

active lifestyle for children has been well

received and sport has benefi tted from the

increased support. In the future, we are

looking forward to the increasing involvement

of clubs and children and the injection of

additional funds beyond the current budget

allocations.

The value and contribution of sport to SA

remains a signifi cant discussion and while

sporting events are often quantifi ed in

various ways, the social and community

benefi ts are not measured easily.

We are anticipating that the work

commissioned by the Offi ce for Recreation

and Sport “Economic and Social value of sport

and recreation to South Australia” where

we contributed to the project, will become

available this year and be a foundation for

greater support of sport and recreation. Sport

and recreation as part of the service skills

industry has been identifi ed as an area of

growth in the future.

The sports industry with our great volunteers

continues to need assistance and our member

services include advice, resources, forums,

governance, fi nancial management, dispute

resolution, human resource management

and workforce development. This involves

individual advice, discussions and member

information sessions and it is evident that

members appreciate the “open door policy”

with customer service. In all our activities

the people remain the focus and effective

communication is crucial. I particularly

enjoy visiting our members, watching the

many sporting activities and celebrating the

achievements of the year.

It has been predicted that Sports and physical

recreation activities will be the 17th largest

sector of employment by 2017 and this also

includes child care, education and health

services. There is an expectation from the

industry that more people will be employed

particularly as the industry responds to

increased professionalism and commercialism.

The large number of volunteers, almost 14

per cent of the adult population according

to ABS, in our workforce is essential and we

believe that the Australian Sports Commission

“sector-wide national AusPlay Survey” that will

commence in 2016-17, will provide intelligence

regarding participation in sport for recognising

the industry trends. This may enable workforce

development to be back in a more prominent

position for state and federal government

funding.

The training and skills environment continues

to experience change and in 2015 Skills for All

has been replaced by Work Ready in SA. The

changes have also meant that funded training

for our industry is virtually only available

through TAFE SA and the number of places

has been reviewed. This is disappointing,

as Sport SA has delivered training for the

industry particularly for traineeships since

the early 2000s. We are hoping that the

situation changes in the next year and we are

currently pursuing options responding to the

needs of our members and the entire sport,

recreation and fi tness industry. In 2015, the

Sport SA Academy of Basketball incorporating

education and sport has been operating and

the students will graduate with the Diploma

of Sport Development including an excellent

appreciation of the demands of a career in

basketball.

The KPMG Celebration of South Australian

Sport at Adelaide Oval was a great success

and we were delighted to bring our event

to this sporting venue. The excellent media

coverage of the achievements by our

partners the Advertiser and Channel Seven

is greatly appreciated and our heroes from

today and yesteryear in the KPMG South

Australian Sport Hall of Fame with the many

key support personnel provide a great profi le

of sport for the entire community.

Progress with the South Australian Sports

Museum has continued and a comprehensive

update is included in this report. The “soft”

launch in May provided impetus for the

fundraising drive and the design is being

refi ned. The project is registered with

the Australian Sports Foundation and we

encourage all sports participants and fans

to support the project that will display our

success and feature the South Australian

Sport Hall of Fame. Robert Gerard AO, Chair

of the Board of Governors has continued his

passionate support at every stage and clearly

portrays the outstanding “Spirit of South

Australia” qualities that we recognised with

the presentation of this award in 2014. There

continues to be new challenges that are not

insurmountable and with the assistance

of all our stakeholders to complement

the signifi cant contribution by the South

Australian government, we will build the

South Australian Sports Museum.

Financial performance

Following the result of the previous year, it

was essential that a review of the operations

was undertaken. The projected loss of

revenue again in 2014/2015 has required

further analysis and in reviewing our revenue

streams and business, an opportunity

to sublease another area in our building

was identifi ed. We were very pleased that

AUSTSWIM joined us in February and the

offi ce areas were re-confi gured with a

staff member also moving part time to the

Museum site. This has worked well and

the presence of the AUSTSWIM - South

Australian Business Centre is a good fi t with

Sport SA. The training income from previous

programs has continued to decline including

with the loss of the ORS Youth Traineeship

Incentive program in November 2014 and the

changes to Skills for All in 2015.

VET In Schools programs are an area of

growth and VETnetwork Australia which

provides courses for school students in

Fitness, became a partner of Sport SA.

The Basketball Academy and VET FEE Help

Provider status has facilitated opportunities

for students to undertake the Diploma of

Sport Development and future plans include

programs for other sports.

05

Establishment costs for this programme

have been included this year. The costs

of a Registered Training Organisation are

being monitored and the training scope is

regularly reviewed to ensure effi ciency. The

ASQA delegation that we obtained this year

is recognition of our quality assurance while

also enabling management of our training

services in line with the training market

trends.

The Sport Awards project returned on the

investment and is also invaluable in terms

of the benefi ts across all strategic areas for

Sport SA and sport.

The Board agreed to expend additional funds

in the “soft” Museum launch in May, which

required marketing material. It was agreed

that this was essential and the funds from

reserves were allocated.

The balance sheet and reserves remain in a

sound position and the Board is continuing

to focus on the diversifi cation of income

streams.

Partners

Thank you to our partners and supporters

of our projects, programs and activities. The

community programs continue to add value

for our members and the KPMG Financial

Management Workshops, OAMPS Insurance

Brokers and Adelaide Shores services

continue to be well received. In addition

Clubs SA has provided support through the

IGC Sponsorship Program to develop an

event management system for the South

Australian Masters Games and Club One has

also continued to assist.

The State Government and the Offi ce for

Recreation and Sport are our principal

partners and we are appreciative of this

funding. Minister Bignell and his advisor,

Margaret Ralston AM, George Georganas

in 2015, and ORS Executive Director, Paul

Anderson have a good awareness of the

issues facing sport. I would like to thank

them for this cooperative approach supported

with open communication. As a member

of reference groups and advisory roles

for government, I am able to present the

collective views of sport in many forums and

thank ORS staff and the government advisors

for these opportunities. I was at the State

budget release again this year and found this

to be informative and valuable.

KPMG has continued their partnership for

the South Australian Sport Hall of Fame and

Celebration of SA Sport and the Community

Financial management program. Selected

Clients and partners of KPMG also enjoy an

intimate dinner with Hall of Famers who are

also interviewed by Roger Wills.

The Sport Awards partners are recognised

in this report and I would also like to thank

you for your essential support which together

with the contributions of the Premier’s grant

and ORS funding enable the presentation of

this great event.

Human Resources

In 2015, there has been a review of staffi ng

in line with fi scal challenges and there

have been some changes to the team. After

balancing requirements with changing

workloads, decisions have been made

to ensure that our workforce delivers

our business while also mindful of the

need to explore new opportunities. The

responsibilities continue to increase and the

Sport SA team is responsive and willing to

assist to meet business and organisational

obligations. Thank you for your commitment

and support and I continue to enjoy working

with our staff.

In February, Lee Patterson accepted a

new role at Surf Life Saving SA and after

wonderful service to Sport SA spanning 7

years, we bid her farewell. Lee and I have

enjoyed a terrifi c learning experience and

journey at Sport SA and we always remember

our achievements to maintain Sport SA RTO

and be recognised with ASQA delegation. The

many students who have gained greatly from

Lee’s knowledge and experience, coupled

with her vibrant personality thank her as

they pursue their careers and “run into”

Lee. Thank you on behalf of all members

and students. We then welcomed Jodi Ryan

an experienced RTO Manager from the

hospitality industry to this role and she has

fi tted in well.

Peter Spry’s role has focussed on the

Awards, Museum and SA Masters Games

while also exploring new opportunities and

partnerships. His rapport with members

and partners, attention to detail and

combined with his commitment to sport

are assets to our organisation. Lea O’Brien

has reduced her hours due to returning to

study and fortunately, she has continued her

capable event management and member

services. Sharon Stephenson supports in

administration, training and manages fi nance

and her willingness to profi ciently undertake

new responsibilities is essential to Sport SA.

Our 2014 trainees, Natalie Porter and Caitlin

Carroll (HHS) and Eleanor Bishop and Tayla

Johnson (HHS) provide good administrative

and event support services.

Thank you to the Board for your leadership

and guidance. We value the breadth of skills

and knowledge and your enthusiasm for our

organisation. John Dicker APM has continued

to commit considerable time to the role of

President and his wise advice is always well

received. Bronwyn Klei was appointed Vice

President following the AGM and she has

brought new perspectives and commercial

acumen to the role. Thank you also to Jill

George for her wisdom and knowledge of

our industry. Review of the Sport SA 2013

– 2015 strategic plan commenced in June

with Board planning. This is being fi nalised

and will be presented to members later this

year. Benchmarking to the ASC Governance

principles was completed in February and

now this has been completed against the ORS

Governance principles. The next step will be

review of the Constitution, regulations, policies

and procedures and the establishment of the

Governance Committee.

As I refl ect on 2014, I will mention the

passing of Marie Little OAM, Inaugural

winner of the Margaret Ralston AM Award

in 2013. Marie loved sport and worked

tirelessly to enable everyone with or without

a disability to learn from sport and enjoy the

atmosphere of a club and team. Respected

internationally and locally, Marie was always

at sport especially the Crows and Netball.

Thank you for your contribution and we

are pleased to see your legacy in action

everywhere.

Thank you to the Board of Governors, led by

Robert Gerard AO. Your assistance with The

KPMG SA Sport Hall of Fame and SA Sports

Museum has been terrifi c and the profi le

and network are greatly appreciated by our

members.

In refl ecting after my years of service

at Sport SA, I can see many changes in

our organisation and developments in

our business that have emerged with the

changing environment. I have outlined

how we address these and note that the

foundation of Sport SA remains the same.

Refi nement of our Strategic Plan may be

required again and we are looking forward

to the next stage. The CEO role continues to

be both diverse and rewarding. Thank you for

the privilege of representing our members,

the sport and recreation organisations in SA.

To our members, partners and friends thank

you and please join us in celebrating the

sporting successes in 2015 at the KPMG

Celebration of South Australian Sport on

November 25th.

Recreation and Sport has enabled this valuable

initiative to continue and assist in the quality

delivery and risk management in sport.

Our members have recognised the value of

the independent parties in assisting, providing

advice including mediators, panel members,

arbitrators and member protection information

offi cers. The effectiveness of the model has

been recognised and complements the services

provided to Sport SA members. Strategic

documents of Sport SA and the Offi ce for

Recreation and Sport share a commitment to

building the capacity of the sport and recreation

industry in South Australia.

In 2015 the SSDC Strategic and Operational

Plans are being reviewed to ensure that the

services continue to meet the needs of the

industry.

The SSDC process has been documented

and updated to incorporate the tribunals

information and is available on the State

Sport Dispute Centre page of the Sport SA

website: www.sportsa.org.au

Partnerships are an integral part of the

SSDC and we ensure that our members are

well informed as to current issues in sport.

AdvocacyStrategic Direction: To advocate for and promote recognition of the

value of sport as a signifi cant contributor to the achievement of the

social, health and public policy agenda of the broader community.

Stategic Outcomes

The value of sport and contribution to

the economy and the positive impact on

productivity, health, wellbeing and social

capital refl ected in the sense of community

• Success and achievements of the sports

industry are recognised

• Whole of government policy development

is infl uenced to achieve increased

government support for all sport and

recreation organisations

• Marketing of sport to establish strong

links with the business community and

commercial growth

• Representation of the sports industry

• Advocacy for community sport issues at federal government level.

This strategic direction includes celebration of

the achievements of sport and we have been

delighted with the increasing prominence of

the KPMG Celebration of South Australian

Sport, The KPMG South Australian Sport

Hall of Fame and the Sport SA Awards. This

exciting project which we have delivered for

fi ve years underpinned the showcasing of

achievements for sport. The South Australian

Sports Museum is another signifi cant element

in profi ling our success stories and the

developments are detailed in this report.

These activities have provided a great vehicle

for partnership in the business community

and we are anticipating greater opportunities

as the SA Sports Museum is established.

Sport SA participated in many forums

representing our members and in the next

year we will increase opportunities to gather

key intelligence with the introduction of more

Round Table discussions and meetings.

The 2014 Election Edition of Sportsay

presented the issues and we now report

achievements in the last year against these:

Infrastructure:

Community Sport still requires greater

support and the CRSFP needs to receive an

injection of funding in time with previous

budgets. Adelaide Oval has been great for AFL

and cricket and we would now like to see an

Indoor Facility on this level. The provision and

costs of quality facilities is presenting barriers

for greater participation.

Funding:

The budget for grants provided through the

Offi ce for Recreation and Sport requires a

signifi cant increase to refl ect the value and

contribution of Sport to South Australia. An

indexed system addressing increasing costs

for organisations would be of signifi cance.

Volunteers:

The demands proceeding on our unpaid

workforce have the potential to be deterrents

to involvement and the provision of key

people to provide sport. It is pleasing to note

that the State government is listening to our

concerns. Recognition and support programs

are well developed.

Events:

2015 is busy with sporting events and our

sports will enjoy a great year. The additional

budget for Events SA is welcomed.

Other emerging issues have included Child

Protection requirements, Skills for All and

Funding for workforce development, ORS

Youth Traineeship Incentive Program, Women

in Sport, Cost of Utilities for Sport, with Red

Tape and Regulation always remaining on the

agenda. Considerable more work is required

to achieve the targets of our advocacy for

sport.

The Sport SA Board continues to monitor the

performance of government in addressing

these matters, seeking advice and engaging

all stakeholders across the government and

non-government sectors.

11

InfrastructureStrategic Direction: To provide leadership, advocacy and advice in

promoting the infrastructure needs for the sustainability of the sport

and recreation industry at community, state and national level.

Stategic Outcomes

• Adelaide is a sporting destination and

Centre of Excellence for sport

• Planning framework with integrated

policy and partnerships across sport,

industry and local, state and federal

government

• Strategic planned approach to

infrastructure, facilities and resources to

support a healthy, active sporting lifestyle

• Quality assurance framework for all

facilities and resources for sustainability

including environmental and business

modelling

• Communities planned and developed

incorporating sport and recreation

priorities with increased open space of a

quality standard for sport and recreation.

• Government and community

infrastructure available for community

sport and recreation

• Business accommodation and

infrastructure to support the sustainable

business model for sport and recreation

organisations.

This year has seen the commencement

of some valuable projects in the area of

infrastructure and has been a positive step

towards clarity in the planning framework for

community sport facilities. The challenges

continue and sustainability is at the forefront

of management due to the increasing cost of

utilities at the stadia, pools, fi elds, courts and

ovals.

The South Australian Regional Level

Recreation and Sport Facilities Framework

project initiated by the Local Government

Recreation Forum and jointly funded by

the Local Government Association of South

Australia and the Offi ce for Recreation

and Sport commenced this year. Focusing

on identifying collaborative approaches

between Government, sport and community

stakeholders to plan, deliver and manage

regional level sporting facilities, the project

involves the development of a strategic

framework to inform the development,

investment and management of planned,

regional level sporting facilities. This will

provide a valuable planning document to

address the needs of the communities and

members of Sport SA have been invited to

provide information and complete surveys

to ensure that they participate fully in the

project. Sport SA is a key member of the

project control group and has assisted with

consultations.

I was very pleased to be invited to be a

member of the Schools as Community

Hubs Action Group and believe that the

opportunities for the community to utilise the

school facilities will be a valuable addition

to sport and recreation in South Australia.

Barriers have emerged which could prevent

the achievement of the outcomes of this

project. The many good sporting facilities on

DECD sites could remain underutilised when

the community is still looking for the same

facilities. In 2015 I am looking forward to

reporting that these fences and hindrances

have been alleviated in the best interests of

the community.

The exciting Diamond Sports development

at Adelaide Shores with both softball and

baseball sharing the facility is progressing

well. This innovative, collaborative approach

should be a blueprint for other sports

facilities and will facilitate the delivery of

upgraded and new infrastructure.

2014/2015 has seen more major sporting

events at facilities such as the SA Aquatic &

Leisure Centre, State Hockey Centre and the

Adelaide Shores Football Centre and later

this year we will enjoy the Australian Masters

Games and the Pacifi c School Games at new

and improved venues.

Adelaide is an attractive destination and

as the sports facilities continue to be

enhanced we are looking forward to more

sporting events and perhaps eventually the

Commonwealth Games!

South Australian Sports MuseumThe exciting development of the South

Australian Sports Museum on North Terrace

has progressed well this year. The concept,

design work and base building works have been

the focus and this report provides a project

update outlining the specifi c activities and

achievements.

University of South Australia Match Studio

In 2014 meetings were held with Match Studio

Director Jane Andrew and Program Director

Jane Lawrence with a view to having their fourth

year Graphic Design and Interior Architecture

students to provide design concepts for the

South Australian Sports Museum. The students

were provided with information from Sport SA’s

Business Case presented to the government

earlier in the year which was to be used as the

basis of their research for the project.

The brief for the students was to provide

a museum that would be the home of the

South Australian Sport Hall of Fame, that

would inspire, educate and motivate as well

as encouraging participation in sport and to

celebrate our state’s proud sporting heritage.

Extensive research was compiled in regards

to site analysis including available transport,

positioning within the city’s tourist precinct

and the museum’s role within the riverbank

precinct.

One important fi nding was as the museum

site was not readily visible from North Tce

wayfi nding and signage was crucial attracting

visitors. Vibrant window graphics were also

deemed necessary to increase street presence.

Once inside the students were focused on

the spatial fl ow that would complement the

curvature of the site, provide an easy to follow

pathway throughout the exhibition space as well

as providing a colour coding for each museum

space.

Students worked in small groups with each

group delivering concept drawings for individual

spaces. Individual concepts were provided for

the entrance, reception area, exhibition spaces,

educational theatre area for school groups, hall

of fame gallery and interactive spaces.

These concepts were presented to Sport SA and

interested Uni SA staff at Uni SA’s Jeffrey Smart

building with the students putting together a

very professional and inspirational presentation.

The Board of Governors of the SA Sport Hall of

Fame and Minister Bignell were also presented

with the design concept.

Many thanks go to Uni SA’s Jane Andrew, Jane

Lawrence, student mentor Marg Degotardi-

Buczko and the six Graphic Design and seven

Interior Architecture students for the time and

creativity put into the project. The quality of the

work was outstanding and provided a blueprint

for Sport SA to take the next step in the design

process for the Museum. Please see photos for

examples of their design work.

In August 2014 an architectural design tender

process commenced with the Project Defi nition

and Scoping discussions based on the Uni

SA concept drawings. A selection process

for tenderers was developed with three

architectural fi rms selected to tender and

submit proposals for the Museum. Our focus

was to compare all three fi rms in the following

areas; Capacity, including demonstrated past

experience in delivering museums or similar

projects, Capability, Methodology and Cost.

It was recommended that GGDA Architects

be selected for further architectural concept

drawings for the project.

In December 2014 Grieve Gillett Dimitty

Andersen Architects (GGDAA) then provided

Sport SA with a proposed brief.

After analysing the Uni SA Proposal document

GGDAA have broken the elements down

using the same spatial areas within the

proposal under the assumption that this has

undergone workshopping and review. Analysis

and feedback was provided under separate

headings which are followed by some ‘free

radical thoughts and questions’ to invite further

discussion and refi nement of the brief.

Architectural Visuals

In May 2015 the architects provided some

visual concepts for external signage, internal

layout and montage of exemplars for further

comment. Please see photos for examples of

their design work.

Base Building Works

Base building works on the museum site

commenced in June 2014 and were completed

in November 2014 by the Lessee. These works

included servicing the air conditioner, repaving

exterior pathways, window fi lm being installed

on to the windows, men’s and women’s rest

rooms have been remodelled with a wider door

installed to allow disability access. Sport SA

commenced internal renovations in the April

to June 2015 period which included removing

old partitions, repainting of internal walls and

renovating the back offi ce/kitchen area.

The Lessee has provided further funds to

complete work on both entrance doors,

lighting, fl ooring and acoustic considerations.

Further work will be undertaken in the near

future following legal compensation of leasing

arrangements for Sport SA.

Fundraising Activities

In June 2014 the South Australian Sports

Museum was listed on the Australian Sports

Foundation (ASF) Project Directory website of

national sports projects to accept donations.

The ASF has tax benefi ts for donors and should

be used once potential donors have shown an

interest in the Museum Project. This is an area

we are hoping the sports community will go to

overtime to support the project whist receiving

a tax benefi t.

In September 2014, Sport SA registered the

Museum to be included in the People’s Choice

Community Lottery drive for 2015. Sales of

lottery tickets commenced on April 30th through

a customised Sport SA Community Lottery page

and raffl e books distributed to our members.

The Sports Museum Lottery was our fi rst

fundraising activity and was held at the 2014

KPMG Celebration of SA Sport and provided

over $6,000 towards the Museum. This activity

was generously supported by Robert Gerard AO.

In June 2015, Sport SA Board Director Andrew

Rumbelow agreed to head the Museum

Fundraising Committee to oversee fundraising

ideas and action plans.

A capital campaign for the Museum is to be

initiated in the next twelve months and will

include an Annual Appeal Campaign, Major Gift

requests and special fundraising events.

Preview Launch

In May 2015 a preview launch for the Museum

was held on site on North Terrace. The launch

was to provide a preview of the Sports Museum

to a selected group of potential supporters and

other “interested” parties for approximately

50 guests. Launch activities included guest

speakers, Hall of Fame member interviews,

Hall of Fame display, architectural drawings

and video presentation with fl y through.

A preview launch speech was given by the

Hon Russell Wortley MLC, president of the

legislative council

“We are here tonight to recognise our State’s

sporting greats and to offer South Australian

businesses the opportunity to sponsor the

South Australian Sports Museum. Tonight,

we look to the future - and to what will be an

historic and highly signifi cant point of interest

for all sport-loving South Australians.

South Australia has a rich sporting history and

the establishment of a sports museum will

provide an appropriate venue for the recognition

of those South Australian sporting greats who

have, through their achievements, brought

honour and glory to our State and our nation.

Our Government is extremely proud to

have played a part in this great museum by

identifying the site, and securing the lease

for the museum premises. I want to also

acknowledge the work of Sport SA, which had

the vision for a dedicated South Australian

Sports Museum. Sport SA will operate the

Museum to showcase the contribution of sport

to the heritage and culture of South Australia.

This Museum will also serve an extremely

important purpose in providing a home for

the South Australian Sport Hall of Fame and

displaying the sporting memorabilia of the Hall

of Fame members. I think what a place like

this will do better than anything else however,

is inspire. We’ve all grown up seeing footage

and hearing stories about our State’s sporting

heroes but to see their histories assembled

here, in one place, will be very special. To

honour athletes in this way, to number them

in a Hall of Fame and to include them in a

museum like this, is to make a very powerful

statement which is that those athletes are

woven into the very fabric of our sporting

heritage, and their achievements will always be

remembered.

If, after visiting this museum, some of our

children feel inspired to take up a sport or

even to apply some of the dedication and effort

which drove their sporting heroes in other areas

of endeavour, then I think we will all be very

happy. This museum perfectly complements our

plans to develop a vibrant Riverbank precinct

that everyone can enjoy.”

Thank you to the South Australian government

for providing this exciting opportunity to

showcase the contribution of Sport to South

Australia.

KPMG Celebration of South Australian Sport After four years at the Adelaide Entertainment

Centre (AEC) the decision was made to take

our event to Adelaide Oval, the home of

sport in South Australia. The AEC had done

a splendid job of hosting our award night

since its inception but the lure of the recently

completed function rooms was irresistible to

knock back and so with great expectation our

2014 night was held in the William Magarey

Room at the Oval. With pre-dinner drinks

held on the top level Lindsay Head Terrace

overlooking the city, guests entered the

room in high spirits to the sounds of Rachael

Leahcar.

the KPMG South Australian Sport Hall

of Fame, Chris Burton OAM (Netball),

Lynette Fullston (Multisport), George

Giffen (Cricket), Colin Hayes AM OBE

Lifelong Active ParticipationTo promote the participation in sport and recreation as an integral part

of an active, balanced and healthy lifestyle for all South Australians.

South Australian Masters Games

Origins of the Masters Games concept

The Masters Games concept was fi rst

suggested by the Australian Sports

Commission in the early 1980s. The

beginnings of the World Masters appeared

in Toronto in 1985 and then as the Alice

Springs Masters in 1986. Masters Games has

now become fi rmly established on the sport

calendar in international, national, state and

local scenes. Masters events have provided

the world’s mature age athletes with a host of

opportunities in sharing a common philosophy

of engaging in some form of sporting activity

and mixing it with a social occasion to create

a fun, social and competitive event. The South

Australian Masters Games was developed by

Sport SA and have been held annually since

1996 across the regions of SA. Previous host

regions for the Games have been:

1996 Riverland

1997 Adelaide

1998 Mt. Gambier

1999 Riverland

2000 Port Pirie

2001 Port Lincoln

2002 Port Pirie

2003 Whyalla

2004 Port Pirie

2005 Riverland

2006 Port Pirie

2007 Murray Bridge

2008 Port Pirie

2009 Ceduna

2010 Port Pirie

2011 Naracoorte

2012 Port Pirie

2013 Orroroo

2014 Naracoorte

2015 Clare and Gilbert Valley

Objectives

The Games continue to grow due to the

focus of each host region on not only the

participation but also the spirit of competition.

Although the on fi eld rivalries are strong,

the defi ning features each year remain to

be the social interaction, camaraderie and

enduring friendships while enjoying the

regional highlights of the host Region. Sport

SA ensures the following objectives are met by

each region;

• To promote lifelong active participation in

sport and recreation

• To provide an incentive for athletes to

renew, maintain or commence their active

participation in sport

• To provide a focus for sporting

organisations to identify and recognise

mature age participants, establish

communication and encourage involvement

in sport

• To encourage sporting organisations to

address the development of the mature

aged component of their sport

• To stimulate and promote community

interest and participation in sport

• To encourage the partnership of Tourism

and Sport in regional areas

• To encourage more people to participate

in mature age sports activities from your

region and the rest of South Australia

• To provide an annual South Australian

State Masters opportunity

• To encourage retail and commerce to

support the local development of sport in

their region.

2015 South Australian Masters Games

26-29 March

The vision was to provide ‘something for

everyone’ whether it be a highly physical sport

such as AFL Super Rules, a 10km run with

less physical sports like Darts or Eight ball.

New sports were introduced to the region

including Rugby Union, Indoor Rowing and

Triathlon. Many of the participants were past

players who organised their former team

mates to get back out on the fi eld to ‘relive’

their glory days. It was also noticeable that

participants of individual sports had arranged

to compete with friends and associates

ensuring a good time was had on and off the

fi eld. The level of play across all sports was

phenomenal highlighting the fact many of

the competitors were still actively involved

and maintaining their connection with a

sport. A goal of the games committee was to

promote and target a younger demographic to

encourage those still active in their sport or

those who have recently ceased competition.

This was achieved with great success as 45%

of all entrants were aged between 30 and 50

years. Many sports included in the games

are considering their options to continue to

build on the success of the games and provide

opportunities to encourage mature age

competition. Examples include;

• Swimming Club considering offering more

mature age events in local carnivals

• Netball Association to offer more ‘masters’

events in the 45, 55, and 65 age groups

• Super rules program is considering

forming a second team from the region

• Local Cricket Association is considering

holding its own masters tournament to

capitalise on all the teams that registered

for the games

• Clare Golf Club is considering holding

masters tournaments to build on their

strong veterans program.

The feedback received from Sport

Coordinators and Club members was that

the Masters Games opened their eyes to a

whole new demographic that will help clubs

and associations to build memberships

and increase participation levels. It was

estimated by local police that 1,800 – 2,000

people attended the opening ceremony. This

generated interest as many locals were out to

watch and enjoy the event, including the 220

Clare primary school students who sang the

national anthem and other local schools held

banners during the athlete march.

The success of the Mr. Mick Clare SA Masters

Games has reinvigorated the Clare community

and it has proven that there is value, purpose and

reason behind such events and the community is

now excited and looking forward to future events

of this nature. Participation in the Mr. Mick Clare

SA Masters Games far exceeded expectations,

with 1,404 participants competing across the 20

sports. A highlight for the SA Masters Games

has to be the Rugby competition. Rugby has

never been played in the Clare Valley and it

attracted fi ve teams, some travelling from as

far away as Melbourne. A positive outcome from

the Rugby event is the money raised from the

games is going to be used to set up a local club

to join the Adelaide Masters Rugby League as a

regular team and a weekend competition to occur

annually in Clare. Volunteers played a vital role

as sports coordinators, ambassadors, umpires

and offi cials, to volunteers for the Games Hub,

creating podiums and pillows for the medal

ceremonies and Primary School students taking

part in the Opening Ceremony. It is estimated in

over 500 volunteers assisted in the event which

even included our Games Ambassador, Gillian

Rolton OAM.

2016 South Australian Masters Games

14 – 17 April

The Rural City of Murray Bridge is delighted to

be hosting the 21st South Australian Masters

Games. Murray Bridge is expected to welcome in

excess of 1000 athletes aged 25+, over a four day

period, competing in more than 20 sports.

Being located on the Murray River, water sports

will be a feature of the games. To date the

following sports have been confi rmed:

8 Ball, Dragon Boating, Multisport, Basketball,

Golf, Netball, Carriage Driving, Indoor Rowing,

Sailing/Sailability, Clay Target Shooting, Karting,

Soccer, Cricket, Lawn Bowls, Swimming,

Croquet, Lawn Tennis, Table Tennis and Darts.

The Murray Bridge South Australian Masters

Games will attract locals and participants from

all around Australia and even internationally to

compete at an elite level, while engaging with

the local community and discovering the Murray

River, Lakes and Coorong tourism region.

We are delighted that the South Australian

Masters Games will be returning to Murray

Bridge and are looking forward to enjoying the

hospitable atmosphere alongside the River

Murray. No doubt the Masters Athletes will have

time to enjoy the attractions on the river and

surrounds perhaps on a houseboat, paddle –

steamer or the river activities.

Raveane, Event Manager or Jody Mills, Event

Strategic Outcomes:

• Status as an accredited RTO through

quality delivery of training and

assessment in Vocational Education is

maintained

• Leadership of the Industry to ensure

that vocational education and training

refl ects our workforce needs

• Flexible, responsive vocational education

and training which enables people to

develop and utilise the skills necessary

to contribute to productivity

• Partnerships training arrangements

are established to meet the needs of

stakeholders

• To ensure that the Industry Skills Centre

is a centre of excellence in workforce

development

• To provide leadership to ensure that the

contribution of our unpaid workforce is

recognised and supported

• An effective communication network for

our paid and unpaid workforce is in place

• Increased participation in the paid

and unpaid workforce, providing

opportunities for Aboriginal & Torres

Strait Islanders, Young, Nature Aged,

under- employed and disengaged

workers, culturally diverse and all other

members of the community.

This year has seen signifi cant changes to

the funding model in South Australia for

Vocational Education and Training (VET). The

Skills for All funding model which has been

in place since July 2012, has been replaced

with WorkReady. WorkReady commenced on

1st. July 2015 and sees a shift in increasing

funding to TAFE SA over private training

providers.

The training system in South Australia will

be impacted in the coming months and years

and the focus for Sport SA is now about

strengthening our current relationships and

partners and to seek out more specialised

training in areas of Fee for Service, VET FEE

Help and VET in Schools.

Sport SA is negotiating our contract with

the State Government to transition and be

recognised as a WorkReady Provider. This

new provider status will enable Sport SA to

access any available funding that will become

available under the new model.

The WorkReady Funded Training List (FTL)

has no opportunities for Sport SA to receive

funding for any qualifi cations. However,

there is a possibility this will change with

the next release and further opportunities

are added under WorkReady’s new Jobs

First approach. WorkReady Jobs First

offers providers, employers and individuals

the opportunity to co-invest in high quality

training and employment projects that

connect people into a job.

Once again, we see changes to the Sport and

Recreation qualifi cations within the Sports,

Fitness and Recreation Training Package.

Service Skills Australia (SSA) is undertaking

consultation of the training package with

merging and deleting of qualifi cations. Sport

SA is involved in this process and we want to

ensure the training package is of high-quality

and refl ect the current workforce skills needs

of the industry.

Sport SA continues to respond to all the

challenges by embracing and seeking new

initiatives while continuing to provide quality

training to meet the needs of our industry.

In November 2014, Sport SA was granted

ASQA delegation. ASQA delegation is offered

only when a RTO is high performing and has

a history of compliance with the national

standards. Our quality assurance and

compliance with industry engagement has

ensured Sport SA will continue to be a high

performing RTO. In addition, Sport SA has

also added Diploma of Sport and Recreation

Management to our scope.

New Training Manager

In February, we said goodbye to our Training

Manager, Lee Patterson, who had been a

part of Sport SA for the past 7 years. Lee

was a positive member of our team and we

wish her well in her future endeavours. In

March, Sport SA welcomed our new Training

Manager, Jodi Ryan. Jodi comes with a great

wealth of experience in Vocational Education

and Training (VET) and previously worked

with a RTO which focussed on Hospitality and

Business and under Jodi’s leadership, won

Small Training Provider of the Year in 2014 at

the SA Training Awards. Sport SA welcome

Jodi and we look forward to expanding our

current training and education programs.

Graduation

In the presence of His Excellency Hieu Van

Le AO, the Graduation for the students of

Workforce Development Strategic Direction: To drive the development of a skilled, responsive

workforce of paid and unpaid workers that meets the needs of the

dynamic sport and recreation industry.

Opportunities for young people to enter the

Sport, Recreation and fi tness industry will

clearly be reduced and also the employment

and retention of young people in our industry

which had been enhanced with their

progression to the higher level qualifi cations is

under threat.

We have continued with our traineeship

program, despite the ORS Funding Incentive

no longer being available in 2015. Due to this

cut, the traineeship program has dramatically

reduced in size, but Sport SA still offers this

service. We continue to provide trainees with

face-to-face monthly training and on-the-

job assessment as part of our service to the

industry.

DECD Project – Premier’s be Active Early

Childhood Program

This successful program continued in 2014

and the trainees conducting physical activity

programs in Pre Schools for Term 3 and 4

in 2014 made a valuable contribution to the

fi tness, health, sport and physical activity

programs in SA.

The students enjoyed delivering the sessions

and demonstrated their competencies in

delivering the Program in the following suburb

sites of Adelaide:

• Warradale Kindergarten

• Sturt Child Care Centre

• Margaret Lohmeyer Kindergarten

• Ascot Park Kindergarten

• Goodstart Sheidow Park (Hutt Close)

• Plympton South Kindergarten

• Woodend Children’s Centre

• Mitchell Park Kindergarten

• Goodstart Bedford Park

The Academy of Basketball

Our partnership with the Academy of

Basketball has progressed further this year,

with 11 students still currently enrolled and

another student commencing in the second

half of this year. All of the students are

enrolled in the Diploma of Sport Development

under VET Fee Help and are due to complete

next year.

Graduates Sophie Cocks (Golf SA), Jess

Grenci, Jack Hornibrook and Reina Shean

(Henley High School), Amy Buckney and

Jane Whitehead (Blackwood High School

Specialist Netball program) presented

speeches capturing their roles, responsibilities

and achievements while undertaking their

qualifi cations in 2014.

“ As you may know most of the Trainee

positions are only a 12 month contract and a

lot of the organisations cannot afford for us to

stay on – I have been fortunate to have been

offered another 12 months where I am now

currently undertaking further education and

studying the Diploma of Sport and Recreation

Management.

“After completing my 12 months with Sport

SA and the Certifi cate 3 program I can say

on behalf of all the trainees that we are

all walking away with a lot of life gained

knowledge and experience. We have been

given great opportunities with Sport SA”

Sophie Cocks

Traineeships

In 2014 the trainees supported by the Offi ce

for Recreation and Sport Youth Traineeship

Funding Incentive program from Sport

and Recreation organisations completed

the Certifi cate III in Sport and Recreation

and some also Certifi cate IV in Sport and

Recreation. These trainees have made a

valuable contribution to their organisations

and are enjoying opportunities to pursue their

careers in the industry.

The history and development of the Youth

Traineeship Program has spanned many years

and in 2005 the Government Youth Traineeship

program was moved through DAIS to the Offi ce

for Recreation and Sport and has continued as

a valuable program for the sport, recreation and

fi tness industry until the decision to no longer

provide this Program.

The achievements and success stories of the

Traineeship program have been showcased

at the Sport SA Graduation Ceremony and

the program had enjoyed both great support

and interest of the Minister and Offi ce for

Recreation and Sport in the employment and

activities of our current and past students.

The students are combining their studies

with an elite basketball training program,

which has seen them travel to the Philippines

and compete in training camps for various

basketball clubs in the National Basketball

League (NBL).

Being able to offer a course of this calibre in

South Australia is a fantastic opportunity for

Sport SA and we look forward to continued

growth in this area. We are working with

Phil Smyth and Steve Breheny to develop this

program further and increase participation

and opportunities for all basketball players.

VET FEE-HELP

Sport SA was granted VET FEE-HELP Provider

status in January this year for The Academy

of Basketball program. VET FEE-HELP is

available to assist eligible students studying

higher level vocational education and training

(VET) qualifi cations to pay their tuition fees.

Utilising this program, Sport SA has opened

our market in the bid to attract more students.

We have plans to add The Diploma of Sport and

Recreation Management to VET FEE-HELP and

create a program to upskill our industry. Sport

SA sees VET FEE-HELP as a real growth area

for us in the next 12 months and we hope to

create more courses and increase our student

numbers.

Diploma of Sport Development

Earlier this year, Sport SA promoted this

qualifi cation through Recognised Prior

Learning (RPL) delivery. We attracted 20

participants, who were subsidised through

Skills for All. This program has been integral

in ensuring our industry and workers are

recognised for the skills and knowledge

they currently have. Sport SA has created

a program that recognises the skill and

knowledge of our industry workers and gives

them the credit and recognition they deserve.

To date, 2 people have successfully completed

this qualifi cation through RPL. Sport SA will

continue to assist the remaining students

complete their qualifi cation.

20

VET in Schools

VETnetwork

Sport SA has partnered with VETnetwork

Australia for the fi rst time this year to

increase opportunities in our VET in Schools

Program. VETnetwork Australia provides

training solutions for schools and links them

with training providers and courses. Sport

SA is currently working with VETnetwork

Australia to deliver Certifi cate III in Fitness

to approximately 180 students. We also have

established links to deliver First Aid courses

throughout the year. We look forward to

increasing our scope with VETnetwork next

year to continue to deliver quality VET in

School programs.

VET in Schools

Certifi cate II in Sport and Recreation

Our VET in Schools program provides an

alternative pathway to students completing

Year 11 and 12, whilst preparing them to

enter the workforce. In 2014/15, Sport SA

has worked with 10 schools who deliver VET

to approximately 280 students within the

school curriculum at Stage 1 and Stage 2.

In addition to gaining nationally recognised

units of competency or qualifi cations the

VET in Schools Program assists students to

complete SACE whilst providing a study or

career pathway in the Sport and Recreation

industry. We are currently working with

numerous others schools who are wanting to

join this program.

VET in Schools

Henley High School Fitness / Sports Trainer

Our partnership with Henley High School

continues to strengthen with the joint

delivery of Certifi cate III in Fitness and

Certifi cate III in Sport Trainer. Fitness

specifi c vocational experience is provided by

VIVA fi tness at Kidman Park and provides the

necessary work experience for the students.

The Sports Trainer students have gained

valuable experience working at school sport

carnivals and sporting events.

We also have a number of students enrolled

in partial qualifi cations as part of Henley

High Schools Specialist Sport program. The

program’s focus is on the development of

the ‘student athlete’ with its core elements

including skill training in the relevant sport,

physical preparation, performance analysis,

personal development, and a fl exible and

supportive academic program from Years 8

to 12. Whilst enrolled in this program, the

students also gain valuable SACE credits

by completing a partial qualifi cation in

Certifi cate III in Sport and Recreation.

Sport SA acknowledges the continued

assistance of overall program coordinators,

Tim Kloeden (until March 2015) Sammy Nutt

and her team, including Trevor Cibich and

Chad Winstanley.

Volunteers

The Sport and Recreation volunteer

workforce continues to fulfi l the essential

roles in community sport and recreation

including coach, referee, committee

member, offi cial, provider of medical

support and support with fundraising. The

economic and social contribution presents

challenges in measurement especially when

the informal and less structured activities

which are part of sport and recreation. It is

essential that we ensure that the recognition

and value of their involvement remains

on the agenda for the entire community.

Advocacy is essential to address the

emerging issues and we have been proactive

in the signifi cant areas of child protection,

infrastructure, regulation and funding.

The engagement of younger age groups

in various roles needs to increase and

different approaches are often required to

encourage their participation. It is pleasing

to see school students take on signifi cant

roles in the community and gain valuable life

skills. The following issues remain Red Tape

Reduction, WHS, Child Protection, Insurance,

Volunteer Rights and Protection and the Cost

of Volunteering and they form part of the

advocacy strategy undertaken by Sport SA for

the sport and recreation industry.

The Volunteering Strategy for South Australia

is being developed, “To improve the experience

of volunteers, enhance the outcomes for

volunteer involving organisations, and help

maintain a volunteer participation rate of 70%

or better”, through a partnership across four

sectors: volunteer involving organisations,

business, Local Government and State

Government with the following partners:

• Minister for Volunteers (representing the

State Government)

• Volunteering SA & NT

• Local Government Association of South

Australia

• Business SA.

The Strategy will be delivered with a 3

Year Operational Plan Sport SA CEO; Jan

Sutherland was the Chair of Working Group

1 Focus Area, “Invest in the foundations of

volunteering”.

Our expert, enthusiastic volunteer workforce

has continued to be an integral part of many

sporting events and competitions this year and

we would like to thank you once again for your

great contribution. The 2015 Mr Mick Clare

SA Masters Games showcased and celebrated

the vital support of the volunteers who are

essential to the success of the Games and all

sport!

Pacifi c School Games

Sport SA is working with School Sport

Australia to manage the volunteer recruitment

for the Pacifi c School Games, being held

in Adelaide on the 21 – 29 November 2015.

We have been assigned a task of recruiting

approximately 200 volunteers for the games,

which will see approximately 3300 athletes

compete in events such as swimming, diving,

baseball, basketball and many more.

The Pacifi c School Games is the showcase

event of school sport in Australia and provides

opportunities for students from Australia

and overseas to benefi t from participating in

sport at the highest level. The Games provide

considerable educational, cultural and social

benefi ts for all participants. Countries far and

wide, particularly from around the Pacifi c and

Asia have been invited and we expect up to 12

countries to attend.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30th June 2015

Statement of Signifi cant Accounting Policies

This fi nancial report is a special purpose fi nancial report prepared in order to satisfy the fi nancial reporting requirements of the

Associations Incorporation Act (SA) 1985. The Board has determined that the association is not a reporting entity.

The fi nancial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs and does not take into account changing money

values, or except where specifi cally stated, current valuations of non-current assets.

The following signifi cant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period, unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in

the preparation of this fi nancial report.

(a) Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

There is a 20 year renegotiable lease agreement with the land on which the premises are situated.

The depreciable amount of all fi xed assets are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets to the association commencing from

the time the asset is held ready for use.

The Board will undertake a review of the assets and their realisable values in the future.

(b) Employee Benefi ts

Provision is made in respect of the association’s liability for annual leave and long service leave at balance date, calculated at

current rates of pay. The Board has determined that provision for long service leave is brought to account for employees who

have completed fi ve years of service, although the statutory liability for the association does not commence until employees have

completed seven years of service.

Contributions to superannuation funds, at the rate specifi ed for the superannuation guarantee levy, are charged as an expense

when incurred.

(c) Income Tax

No provision for income tax is necessary, as the association is exempt from income tax under section 50-45 of the Income Tax

Assessment Act 1997.

(d) Cash

Cash includes cash on hand and at the banks, ANZ and Bendigo, held as term deposits.

(e) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(f) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not

recoverable from the Australian Taxation Offi ce. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
