CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

JEFFREY GREEN

During 2010 the Board of Directors and

Management have worked to achieve

the targets set in the Operational Plan

2009-10 and to write a new Strategic

Plan 2010-2014 that will provide the basis

for the future growth and development

of the game within our state.

The Board of Directors’ main target this

year was the writing of a new Strategic

Plan 2010-2014. Our Strategic Plan is

important because it provides a concise

statement of Northern NSW Football’s

direction to our members. The process of

writing the plan began in March this year

with a workshop that involved Directors,

the CEO and Management. The plan was

progressed after extensive consultation

with all key stakeholders. Our main Core

Goal is that the Strategic Plan is embraced

by our Members and aligned to their

strategic plans. Other Core Goals include:

1. Increase participation by 3% per annum.

2. A positive working relationship with all

Zone GM’s.

3. Fully investigate the viability of a

commercial Futsal centre and elite

training and playing facility.

4. High quality Premier Competitions

involving a maximum of 10 teams each.

5. Make a signifi cant contribution to

National Teams (teams, squads and

National Leagues).

6. Increase the number of active referees

by 5% per annum.

7. Develop participation opportunities

which extend the Sport’s reach into

“summer” months.

8. A highly recognised brand throughout

Northern NSW.

9. A minimum annual sponsorship income

of $300k in cash and $500k VIK.

10. Maintain current strong net asset

position (cash, property and other).

A major target in the plan is the establishment

of a new headquarters and elite training/

community centre. We have identifi ed

a preferred site in Wallsend and we are

currently doing our due diligence on that

site. You may be aware that we have gained

$140,000 for a feasibility study of that site

from the Federal Government with the

assistance of our Patron, Hon. Greg Combet.

The establishment of a facility of its type will

provide a new revenue stream that will mean

we will ease our dependence on registration

fees. As you can see from the audited

fi nancial report, we have again fi nished in a

strong position. However, a project of this

size could have an impact on our carefully

accumulated reserves.

The “Football for the Future” Peak

Steering Committee (PSC) is a Board

initiative which continues to be a Board

priority. The PSC is chaired by the Deputy

Chairman, Peter Moore, and provides a

forum for strategic issues of importance

to Member Zones. The CEO, David Eland,

in his report, has listed some of the

important initiatives that the PSC

has been responsible for this year.

At the Football Federation Australia AGM

on 7th October 2010, all member states

signed the FFA Member Federations

Charter. The Member Federations

Charter continues the national unifi cation

process that began with the release of

the Crawford Report in 2003 and the

EGM of FFA in 2007. In November 2007,

FFA released the fi rst National Football

Development Plan (NFDP). The NFDP

provides a plan for the development of

football in Australia from the elite level

to the grassroots. The Charter sets out

how the NFDP will be implemented as

a partnership between FFA and the

Member Federations.

The concept of the Member Federations

Charter seemed transferable to the

relationship between Northern NSW and

its Member Zones. Consequently, after

the concept was discussed at the Peak

Steering Committee and individually with

each zone, Northern NSW has initiated

a Member Zone Charter to improve our

relationship with the zones and to better

deliver the National Football Development

Plan. The Charter will provide a solid

framework to improve the working

relationship between Northern NSW and

its Zones as well as helping to deliver a

better product at all levels of participation.

I wish to thank the Board – Deputy Chairman

Peter Moore, John Simpson, Michael

Gaertner, Greg Wilson and Richard Face,

for the professional contribution they have

made to make Northern NSW so successful

and ensuring that the Strategic Plan is the

focus of the operation of the Board.

Also, I extend particular appreciation to the

CEO, David Eland, and his team, who have

again performed with skill, dedication,

expertise, and consideration in managing

our business.

Finally, and most importantly, I thank the

contribution of our Member Zones and

Standing Committees that have worked

tirelessly to deliver quality football product

throughout Northern NSW.

CEO’S REPORT

DAVID ELAND

The 2010 FIFA World Cup provided

the perfect backdrop for what was

an outstanding year for the Sport and

Northern NSW Football. Annual reports

provide an opportunity to evaluate and

focus on the previous year, however,

on the eve of FIFA’s World Cup hosting

announcement it’s very diffi cult not to

dwell on the impact that hosting the

FIFA World Cup would have on the

Sport and indeed Australia.

As foreshadowed in the CEO’s Report

in 2009, Northern NSW Football’s activity

in 2010 focused on the achievement of

seven key success factors and a myriad

of measurable targets which were outlined

and presented to our Members and

stakeholders in the 2009.10 Operational

Plan. The initiation of the Plan aimed to

respond to our Members’ call for Northern

NSW Football to provide strong leadership,

clear strategic direction and to be more

accountable. The following reports clearly

indicate that Northern NSW Football has

responded positively and operated in

accordance with the Australian Sports

Commission’s Key Governance Principles.

Signifi cant progress has been made in

relation to the Sport’s heavy reliance on

player registration fees which comprised

60% of NNSWF’s total projected income

in 2009.10. The 2010.11 Budget projects

total income of $5.2m (excluding in-kind

contributions and feasibility funding)

of which registration fees comprise

approximately 55%. Importantly, the

projected increase in total income as

compared to 2009.10 has been achieved

without increasing NNSWF’s component

of player registration fees or projecting an

increase in participation in season 2011.

Incremental income approaching $360,000

has been secured through sponsorship,

merchandise, special competitions and

interest from investments.

Two potential sites for NNSWF’s long

awaited football facility have been

identifi ed and $140,000 has been secured

from the Federal Government to undertake

feasibility activity. NNSWF’s property at

235 Old Maitland Rd, Hexham has been

sold for $400,000 above valuation and

initial fi nancial modeling indicates that

the proposed commercial facility has the

potential to generate a profi t of $500,000

per annum which will be directed into

programs and services throughout

Northern NSW.

I acknowledge the signifi cant contribution

of Northern NSW Football’s Member

Zones and Standing Committees. I’m

confi dent that collectively we are building

a genuine spirit of co-operation and

that there is far greater awareness and

acceptance of our roles and responsibilities

in relation to the growth, development

and promotion of the Sport throughout

Northern NSW.

Northern NSW Football’s Executive Team

and Staff are to be congratulated on their

effort and dedication throughout 2010.

I have greatly valued and appreciated their

unwavering support and positive response

to my directive for the Organisation to

conduct itself in accordance with our

stated objects and values.

On behalf of NNSWF’s Members I would

like to acknowledge the dedication and

commitment of NNSWF’s Board of

Directors. The Board’s wise council

and experience has been invaluable.

I look forward to your ongoing support in

2011 as Northern NSW Football continues

to work towards our vision of football

being recognised as the number one

sport throughout Northern NSW.

Northern NSW Football initiated a number

of key strategies in 2010, which aimed to

satisfy our Members’ and stakeholders’

expectations of the Organisation in relation

to leadership, strategic planning, relevance,

value and communication. The Board and

Management were guided in this regard by

the Australian Sports Commission’s Key

Governance Principles.

The establishment of NNSWF’s Strategic

Plan for the period of 2010 – 2014 was

the most signifi cant Governance and

Leadership strategy undertaken throughout

2010. The Plan emanated from extensive

consultation with Members and key

stakeholders including a strategic retreat

in Port Macquarie in March 2010. A DVD

outlining the Organisation’s Vision, Values,

Core Goals and Critical Success Factors

will be distributed to all member clubs

prior to season 2011.

The “Football for the Future” Peak Steering

Committee (PSC) met on four occasions

throughout the year providing Member

Zone delegates with an opportunity to

raise, discuss and contribute to issues

of strategic signifi cance to the continued

growth and development of the Sport.

Initiatives including the NNSWF Facilities

Blueprint, Communication Protocol,

Member Club Satisfaction Survey, Member

Zone Charter, NNSWF Integrated Website

Network and Integrated Commercial Model

were discussed and progressed. A myriad

of common operational matters were also

discussed by the PSC throughout 2010.

In response to Football Federation

Australia’s Member Federation Charter,

NNSWF initiated a Member Zone Charter

which principally aimed to assist NNSWF

and Member Zones to more effectively

meet our agreed responsibilities, pursue

our agreed common aims for the

growth, development and promotion of

Football throughout Northern NSW and

to facilitate the effective delivery of the

FFA National Football Development Plan

at the grassroots throughout Northern

NSW. Football Far North Coast, Newcastle

Football and Northern Inland Football have

executed the Charter and the CEO

is hopeful that all remaining Zones make

a commitment prior to the 2011 season.

COMMUNITYFOOTBALL

PETER HAYNES

Northern NSW Football initiated a number

of key strategies in 2010, which aimed to

increase participation and maximise the

enjoyment of players, coaches, referees

and volunteers at all levels and across all

formats of football. NNSWF’s Community

Football Programs were implemented in

accordance with the FFA’s National Football

Development Plan and National Curriculum

which included the continued roll out

of Optus Small-Sided Football (OSSF),

Cottee’s Schools 5-a-side Gala Days

which engaged approximately 3,000

primary students in its inaugural year,

Indigenous Development Program

which encompassed school clinics,

OSSF gala days and the selection of

a girls team which represented NNSWF

at the FFA Indigenous Football Festival. The

contribution of FFA’s Regional Participation

Manager Kean Marshall to the success of

NNSWF’s Community Football Programs is

acknowledged and appreciated not only by

NNSWF but by the hundreds of clubs and

hundreds of volunteers who Kean assisted

throughout 2010.

NNSWF conducted small sided football

promotional clinics at approximately 200

primary schools throughout Northern NSW

in 2010. A staggering 30,000 students

were provided with the opportunity to

experience the joy of the World Game.

NNSWF acknowledges the support

provided by Member Zones and the team

of part-time Community Football Offi cers

who implemented this vital program.

The introduction of the FFA’s revised

Community Coach Education Pathway,

reduced course fees and the identifi cation

and training of approximately 30 course

presenters and assessors throughout

Northern NSW facilitated the accreditation

of most coaches in any season. NNSWF’s

highly successful Grassroots Week

in April resulted in the accreditation of

approximately 550 Grassroots Coaches

and 400 Instructing Referees. A number

of the courses specifi cally targeted

women, teachers and students at high

schools and universities. NNSWF greatly

appreciated the support and assistance

which was provided by the Member Zones

during Grassroots Week.

Strategic Goal: In collaboration with our Members and other stakeholders

implement sustainable programs of excellence which aim to optimise the

participation and enjoyment of players, coaches, referees, and volunteers

at the grassroots of the Sport throughout Northern NSW.

*Includes Instructing Referees.

A record 56 primary and high school teams

competed in this year’s NNSWF Regional

Schools Futsal Championships. 23 teams

progressed to the NNSWF State Schools

Futsal Championships in Newcastle.

In total, over 550 students across four

boys and four girls age categories were

exposed to the skill and excitement of

Futsal. The addition of NNSW PCYC to

the existing Futsal structure will facilitate

further growth in 2011.

The introduction of an accredited

Instructing Referees course and the

payment of a small match payment

encouraged over 400 young boys and girls

between the ages of 12 and 13 years to

offi ciate OSSF at their local club. These

young offi cials have been embraced

by their local referees’ branch and will

hopefully progress to full accreditation.

The inaugural “Thanks Ref” Day was a

huge success. 1,200 certifi cates were

distributed to referees throughout Northern

NSW and host clubs acknowledged the

contribution made by Match Offi cials

through the provision of refreshments.

The creation of a NNSWF Match

Offi cial Database will enable continued

communication with match offi cials

regarding future courses, development

opportunities and exit surveys which

aim to increase retention rates among

Match Offi cials.

The continued growth and development

of the Sport is totally reliant on the

contribution of the thousands of volunteers

who run community football clubs and

coach and manage teams. NNSWF

invested in the development of the

Sport’s vital work force by initiating nine

seminars throughout Northern NSW,

which were conducted by the NSW Sports

Federation’s Education Manager focusing

on volunteer recruitment and retention

and confl ict resolution.

The signifi cant contribution of NNSWF’s

Development Offi cer Matt Pratt and

Football Administrator Jacquie Elvidge is

acknowledged and appreciated. Matt and

Jacquie willingly accepted the challenges

associated with NNSWF’s vision of football

being recognised as Northern NSW’s

number one sport.

HIGH PERFORMANCE FOOTBALL

DAVID SMITH

The initiation and implementation of the FFA’s inaugural National Curriculum facilitated great change within High Performance programs throughout Northern NSW in 2009.10.

One of the National Curriculum’s most signifi cant initiatives was the mandating of a 1-4-3-3 playing system. NNSWF, with great support from all Member Zones imposed the endorsed playing system on all representative teams participating at National Championships and in the State Youth League. The introduction of the Curriculum, playing system and “building blocks” were supported by technical presentations throughout Northern NSW by FFA and Northern NSW Football staff, headlined by FFA Technical Director, Han Berger, making two presentations to leading elite coaches in Newcastle.

Changes to the FFA National Championships playing format and the formation of Technical Committee (at Under 13 Level) provided a critical analysis of NNSWF’s adjustment to the 1-4-3-3 playing system; this was most evident in the Under 13 girls team who fi nished top of the table at the conclusion of pool matches, however, were relegated to second following the technical review, whilst NNSWF’s boys fi nished equal third on points and following the technical review were elevated to fi nish outright third. It was unfortunate that the Technical Committee was not implemented at the higher age groups as this provided an excellent performance review for both coaches and players.

NNSWF’s performances at Nationals were

a credit to the preparation of both coaches and players, with a number of players selected for the prestigious All Stars teams and National teams.

The Northern New South Wales Institute of Sport (NNSWIS) program under the leadership of Head Coach Wayne O’Sullivan was restructured as a result of increased funding of $50,000, which enabled the appointment of Peter McGuiness as part-time Assistant Coach, employment of professional staff in all aspects of player welfare and the establishment of a permanent offi ce and relaxation room for players at the University of Newcastle.

Playing targets were met with the boys fi nishing fourth overall in the NBN U/23 State League and two athletes selected in the Joeys Under 16 squad and a further two offered Jets Youth Scholarships. Four other NNSWIS players also represented the Jets Youth Team throughout the season.

The NNSWIS Girls Program was also restructured with the upcoming 2010.11 Westfi eld W-League “front of mind”. The NNSWIS Girls will play as a team for the fi rst time in the new Under 17 Colts League in 2011.

The Emerging Athlete Program (EAP) was expanded to include a second girls team that competed in the Inter-district Under 13 boys competition, whilst the Under 16 EAP girls participated in the Herald Women’s Premier League fi nishing third before bowing out in the semi fi nals. It is pleasing to advise that fi ve of the girls have transitioned to the NNSWIS Girls Program for 2010.11. The Boys EAP team participated in the NBN State League Youth Competition, which proved to be an excellent grounding for the players’ development; from this group six players have been offered full time scholarships in 2010.11 NNSWIS Program.

FFA Technical Director, Han Berger, conducted two advanced coach education sessions in Newcastle, whilst Assistant Technical Director, Alistair Edwards, ran a similar seminar in Lismore. All professional development sessions were very well attended and provided a great insight into the objectives of the National Curriculum.

A thorough review of NNSWF’s elite youth player development and competition structures was conducted in 2010. The review provided a range of stakeholders with an opportunity to contribute towards the establishment of a number of recommendations which were endorsed by NNSWF’s Board of Directors in July.

NNSWF produced 14 National representatives in 2009.10

Strategic Goal: To deliver professional, integrated and clear elite

which produce National representative players and coaches.

FOOTBALL OPERATIONS

ALAN NISBET

A myriad of initiatives were implemented

by Football Operations in 2010 in support

of Northern NSW Football’s vision of

being recognised as the number one

sport throughout Northern NSW.

NBN State League Clubs responded

positively to NNSWF’s revised Premier

Competition Criteria with many clubs

initiating facilities enhancement projects

and a more professional approach to club

management on and off the fi eld.

The introduction of a Match Day

Commissioner enabled NNSWF to

effectively assess how clubs were

responding to the new criteria and

facilitated the development of a closer

working relationship, which resulted in a

commitment to continual improvement and

compliance.

The inaugural representative fi xture

between NNSWF’s State League

Premiers, Weston Workers Bears and

Football Queensland’s Premiers, Sunshine

Coast Fires was conducted in September

at Brisbane’s Perry Park. Whilst the game

ended in a 1-1 draw it was generally

considered that Weston was the better

team on the day, confi rming that the

standard of the NBN State League

would match that of most other

Member Federations.

The expansion of the Criteria to encompass

the NEWFM 1st Division initiated an

application and review process which

resulted in the number of teams invited to

compete in 2011’s NEWFM 1st Division

being reduced from twelve to eight teams.

This process ensures that NNSWF’s men’s

Premier Competitions are more closely

aligned providing continuity for promotion

and relegation on an annual basis.

The Herald Women’s Premier League

continued to evolve in its second

season with great support from the

clubs and the local media. NNSWF’s

continued commitment to the growth,

development and promotion of women’s

football was also demonstrated through

our management and operation of the

Newcastle Jets participation in the 2010.11

Westfi eld W-League.

NNSWF conducted a successful State

Youth League in 2010. The SYL will revert

back to a weekly competition in the

13, 14, 15 years boys and 16 years girls

age divisions in 2011. NNSWF extends

its appreciation to the Member Zones

and their respective team coaches and

managers for their commitment to this vital

competitive opportunity for talented girls

and boys throughout Northern NSW.

The Boys and Girls Under 12 State

Championships were held at the Coffs

Harbour BCU International Stadium

across the June long weekend. The State

Championships were conducted under the

conditions and regulations implemented

for the FFA National Youth Championships

providing players and offi cials with the

opportunity to compete at a premier venue

under an elite championship format.


Satisfy the expectations of 80% of clubs participating in

NNSWF’s Premier Competitions and Member Zones in 2009.10.

13 of the 18 premier club respondents were either extremely,

very or fairly satisfi ed.

Strategic Goal: Professional management practices facilitating successful

competitions, special events and best practice procedures within Member

Zones, clubs, referee and Futsal structures throughout Northern NSW.


All participating teams in the 1st grade of each competition win

at least 25% of matches in season 2010.

The inaugural Solo Cup knockout was

entries from clubs throughout Northern

NSW. The Finals Carnival staged at Coffs

Harbour BCU International Stadium in

July hosted the fi nal four teams from

the Northern and Southern Pools who

competed for a spot in the Final, which

was eventually contested by Weston

Workers Bears and Valentine Phoenix with

Phoenix being crowned as the inaugural

Solo Cup winners following an exhilarating

fi nal which concluded 1-1 in regulation time

with Valentine taking out the honours in

a penalty shootout 5-4.

NNSWF continues to host the FFA Boys

and Girls National Youth Championships

and was acknowledged by its peers

as setting the benchmark for future

championships and management

procedures.

The initiation of Zone Managers meetings

has provided NNSWF and its Member

Zones with an opportunity to meet on a

regular basis to discuss and implement

standard management initiatives and

procedures throughout Northern NSW.

NNSWF continues to support FFA with

its implementation of a National Online

Player Registration system. Recent

meetings and advancements will see the

full implementation of online registration

throughout Newcastle Football and NNSWF’s

Premier Competitions in 2011. In conjunction

with online player registration, NNSWF has

also committed to the implementation of an

online competition management system,

which aims to enhance the experience of

all players and reduce the amount of time

volunteers spend administering competitions.

New initiatives were implemented this

year in an effort to increase and retain

membership of Northern NSW Referees.

An enhanced marketing campaign was rolled

out at the beginning of the year with a strong

focus on increasing referee membership and

retention of current members. The provision

of Instructing Referees bibs for all branches

provided awareness and support for our

junior referees whilst a referees recognition

day conducted in June was deemed

a huge success with acknowledgement

from referees branches and strong support

from member clubs involved.

Northern NSW Football continued to

have match offi cials recognised at the

highest level with four female and eight

male offi cials currently offi ciating in FFA’s

Hyundai A-League, National Youth League

and Westfi eld W-League.

MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS

DAVID CROMARTY

Northern NSW Football marketing activity

during the period was highlighted by a

positive result in the generation of publicity

across the state. Editorial coverage was

generated that reached an estimated

cumulative audience of 15.66 million

readers across Northern NSW exceeding

the target fi gure of 10 million.

Website traffi c during the competition

season on the NNSWF website also

exceeded targets by over 33%. This is

anticipated to increase further with the

introduction of a new website platform

across Northern NSW to be introduced

in 2011.

The marketing team provided support to

merchandise activity which saw a positive

increase in sales for the period. Rebranding

of this activity for 2011 and an increased

profi le in the market should generate

further growth.

Sponsorship results were down slightly

on targets, attributable to a diffi cult

sponsorship climate in the wake of the

Global Financial Crisis and also the ongoing

refi nement of NNSWF assets into bundled

properties. A sponsorship strategy was

established, which included the bundling

of assets to provide a superior offering

to potential sponsors, a strategy that

successfully saw the establishment of

a new agreement with the Newcastle

Permanent Building Society as our

High Performance Partner.

Attendance fi gures for Premier Competitions

also fell short of expectations with contributing

factors including the scheduling of matches on

Saturdays, home and away crowd allegiances

and the impact of travel to some games.

In relation to the Westfi eld W-League

target, a poor season for the side with

no wins refl ected in disappointing

attendances at home fi xtures.

The target for growth in registered players

also fell short, with contributing factors

including timing of recruitment campaign

and delays in receiving FFA branding

applications. A new creative theme for the

2011 campaign and an earlier scheduling

of media placements is planned to address

this result for the coming period. We also

took the opportunity during the 2010

FIFA World Cup to provide a data capture

website, aimed at leveraging off the

Socceroos support, with which to record

expressions of interest from young players

wishing to play football in 2011.

Increasing demands within the marketing

area saw the appointment of Larissa

Adamczyk to the new position of

Marketing Coordinator. The role has

signifi cantly enhanced the fl exibility of

the marketing team to respond to an ever

increasing expansion of the marketing

function across each of our zones.

Strategic Goal: A professional structure that embraces quality marketing

of Northern NSW Football across the key areas of sponsorship, media,

advertising, promotions and public relations, providing sustainable

enhancement of all aspects of the organisations activities, with

resultant recognition as a vibrant partner of football in Australia.


Generate football editorial which reaches a total cumulative

audience of 10 million people in print media throughout

Northern NSW in 2009.10.

A cumulative audience of 15.66 million was achieved for print

media across Northern NSW during the period.


Achieve 3% growth in total number of registered players. Increased total player registrations by 1%.

Achieve total average attendance per round of:

– 2000 for NBN State League

– 300 for Herald Women’s Premier League

– 750 for NEWFM 1st Division

– 1000 for Westfi eld W-League home fi xtures

Approximately 1800 total average attendance per round.




Secure average of 15,000 visits per month on NNSWF website

during competition period (April – September 2010).

Average of over 20,000 visits per month.

Secure total sponsorship revenue of $650,000

(cash $350,000 and in-kind $300,000).

Total of $556,000 secured in 2009.10, $291,000 cash

and $265,000 in-kind.

Generate total merchandise sales of $575,000. $630,000 total merchandise sales reached.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE

BRENDAN CLARKE

As outlined in the attached report,

Northern NSW Football had quite a

successful year fi nancially. This positive

outcome is made up of two key elements

– the profi table trading result from our

normal business operations, together with

the profi t made following the sale of 235

Old Maitland Road Hexham to AGL.

Regarding the trading result, the Board

of Directors endorsed a budget for the

2009.10 year which aimed to achieve a

surplus of $80,000. Thanks largely to

member support of our merchandise

program, growth in “special competition”

player registrations and improved rates

of return on our investments, this surplus

was exceeded by approximately $125,000.

This outstanding result has enabled us to

keep registration fees for the 2011 winter

season the same as they were for 2010

(excluding the increase in FFA levy) and

invest more money back into improving

the game for all of our Members.

Regarding the sale of 235 Old Maitland Road

Hexham, we were approached by AGL to

acquire our property in order to initiate part of

their strategic plan. The terms of their initial

offer were declined, however, due to the

market conditions of our geographical area

and the existence of a motivated purchaser;

we were successful in negotiating what we

believe to be an extraordinary result for our

members resulting in a net profi t on sale of

just over $800,000.

Following the sale of our building, the

Board and Management can continue

working on the proposed football facility

project which has been aided by the

Federal Government committing to

provide $140,000 in initial funding.

For the 2010.11 year, the Board has adopted

a very modest budget which predicts a

surplus of just $17,000. Despite the positive

result in 2010, the 2010.11 budget takes

into account an increase in spending for

player recruitment and retention as well as

the proposed introduction of an integrated

web platform and competition management

system which will be utilised by NNSWF

and Member Zones.

A summary of the 2009.10 Key Success

Measures are set out below.

Strategic Goal: Implementation of performance driven business practices

complying with relevant legislation and standards aligned with our

Strategic Goals.


Achieve budget surplus as adopted by the NNSWF Board in

September 2009.

The adopted budget surplus was exceeded.


Nil material adjustments from Financial Audit. No material adjustments recorded following completion of the

2010 fi nancial audit.

Full Human Resources Compliance. A review of our HR compliance was undertaken throughout the

year with all recommendations implemented.

Complete FFA requirements by due dates. All FFA requirements were met ahead of requested timeframes.

Company’s fi nancial exposure as a result of litigation, damage,

negligence, accidents does not exceed accepted levels as

tabled in the company’s various insurance policies.

All insurance policies held by Northern NSW Football were

adequately maintained throughout the year.

Nil loss of signifi cant electronic data in 2010. No electronic data has been lost throughout the year.
