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.

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.

Sport SA with partners Channel Seven and The
Advertiser paid tribute to Robert Gerard AO
with the Spirit of South Australia which was
presented on only the second occasion. Robert
joins Marjorie Jackson-Nelson AC CVO MBE in
this elite prestigious group. The entertaining

an insight into the passion and character of
Robert Gerard AO.
In 2014 there were fi ve Inductees into
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.

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

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.

Independent Audit Report
I have audited the special purpose Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet) and Statement of Financial
Performance (Income and Expenditure) for the South Australian Sports Federation Incorporated for the fi nancial
year ending 30 June 2015. The Associations’ offi cers are responsible for preparing the fi nancial statements that

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.
