ASF Newsletter - September 2006
From the General Manager
Welcome to the Spring edition of Australian Sports Foundation News. You will notice that there is an article referring to changes to the Board of the ASF as announced by the Minister for the Arts and Sport. The ASF team looks forward to continuing to provide its unique service to sports development, with the support of Pam Tye as Chair and her Board.
The past few months have seen most state and territory sport and recreation departments and agencies confirm facility grants for the coming year. The extent of the support for the upgrading of existing and construction of new facilities, particularly in regional Australia, is heartening. While some of the grant recipients have registered their development as a project with the ASF, it seems that there is certainly a greater potential for assisting with these projects. Registration with the ASF can enable the sporting club or association to establish a complementary fundraising stream, in addition to the facility grants received and their own contributions, by using the incentive of the ASF’s tax deductible status.
State and local government organisations are encouraged to refer recipients of grants for the development of sporting facilities to the ASF so that the possibilities of additional support can be discussed. Similarly, incorporated and not-for-profit sporting clubs and associations that are planning to undertake a facility development should contact the ASF to discuss their plans.
As we enter a new financial year, it is timely to reflect on the past 12 months. In 2005/06, the ASF celebrated 20 years of operation as a company supporting the development of sport in Australia. The other part of the dual milestone was reaching the total of grants issued to sport and communities in that period of over $100 million. In fact, in 2005/06 alone, grants of $8.74 million were issued to 219 projects registered with the ASF, based largely on their fundraising efforts. In all, the ASF has nearly 450 registered projects, but there is plenty of room for more.
The team at the ASF is keen to support the initiatives of eligible sporting, community, government and educational bodies. Remember, if you are planning a facility development, looking to upgrade capital or significant equipment, seeking to increase membership or enhance the capabilities of your elite athletes, or in the case of state or national bodies, contemplating team travel or hosting a major event, the ASF may be of assistance to you. We look forward to discussing these opportunities with you.

Changes to the Board of the ASF
In May 2006, Senator Rod Kemp, Minister for Arts and Sport, announced some changes to the Board of the ASF. Cory Bernardi resigned as Chair in April 2006 following his appointment to fill a casual vacancy in the Senate as a Senator for South Australia, which was created by the resignation of Senator Robert Hill. As a consequence, Pam Tye was appointed as Chair for a two-year term.
The term of appointment for Margot Foster expired in May 2006. John Eales, Greg Hartung and Geoff Stooke were subsequently appointed to the Board. The Board now comprises Pam Tye, John Eales, Michelle Ford-Eriksson, Greg Hartung and Geoff Stooke.

Case study - St Joseph’s Football Club Geelong
Project
Refurbishment and extension of the clubrooms and installation of a netball court at a cost of $550 000. After a successful submission by the club, the City of Greater Geelong Council granted $380 000, leaving the club to raise $170 000.
The need
The St Joseph’s Football Club competes in the Geelong Football League, one of the top country / regional major league competitions in Australia. The club has been successful club since entering the competition in 1985, with premierships at all levels and a rich history of producing AFL players from within its junior ranks. Despite this success the club facilities, constructed in 1976, were the worst in the competition — small change rooms and function facilities coupled with poor viewing outlook put the club at a significant disadvantage in attracting and servicing members, particularly the club’s extensive junior playing list of over 180 players in the under-14, under-16 and under-18 levels.
The goal
The club desperately needed the facility upgrade but had no investment reserves and was in no financial position to raise the $170 000 from annual income or service a loan of that magnitude.
The goal was to come up with a strategy that would raise $170 000 but would not have a negative effect on the club’s ongoing annual income, and would not impinge on the precious time of the club’s general committee, which keeps the club ticking over successfully.
The approach
The general committee recruited past players Rob Threlfall and John Fitzgerald to develop the strategy and run the fundraising program. Threlfal and Fitzgerald then recruited their own committee comprising Chair Bernie Madden, Treasurer Greg Bryant and Building Project Coordinator Gavin Maher.
This fundraising committee quickly decided that an appeal directed at current and past members of the club was the only feasible strategy to meet the significant target within the goals the club had set. A key factor in obtaining gifts in the amounts required to meet the target was the ability to offer tax deductibility for donations to the appeal. The committee contacted the ASF, made an application to register a project, which was approved. The other key factor was establishing as strong a database as possible of all club members (including junior families) and past players and members.
The challenge
With the key personnel and tax deductible gift option in place, the challenge was to inspire the St Joseph’s Football Club community to support the appeal with gifts substantial enough to meet the target. This challenge was met by the appeal committee getting out and telling the story, in most cases face to face, and establishing the case for support and asking for gifts. The Appeal Committee bolstered their ranks with appeal ambassadors, high profile past players (particularly AFL legends Barry Stoneham and Damian Bourke) and past committee members of the club, who were prepared to make contact with their peers and ask them for support.
The successful strategies
The success of the appeal was undoubtedly the personal contact with donors by the appeal committee and ambassadors. Potential donors were invited to a launch night where the appeal committee put their case in a professional manner, combining a reunion-type atmosphere with a PowerPoint presentation to establish the need and to ask for a commitment on the night. This commitment was set at a minimum gift level that would ensure the target was met, generally gifts of $1000.
Within six months of the appeal committee being formed, it had raised $175 000 in donations and pledges (some gifts will be paid over two financial years) and the grand opening of the new facilities was held in April 2006.
Location
Geelong is Victoria’s largest regional city and is approximately one hour south-west of Melbourne
Case study - UCA Kinross Wolaroi School
Project
To purchase rowing equipment
The need
At the start of the year 2000, UCA Kinross Wolaroi School embraced the idea of introducing rowing to the school and to Orange, which is 300 kilometres from Sydney. There was only one stretch of water in the Orange district that was suitable for rowing — Spring Creek Reservoir, just five minutes from the school. The school applied to the city council to use this facility and after four years of negotiations, including a challenge in the Land and Environment Court and numerous environmental impact statements, the school was granted permission to row on Spring Creek Reservoir for training purposes only. This meant that there was a need for a rowing shed and boats in order to service the anticipated 100 rowers that the school planned to introduce to the sport over the next four years.
The goal
The goal was to establish a club for both boys and girls of around 100 rowers, commencing with students from Year 8 in 2004. The aim was to have these students compete in the finals of the Australian Rowing Championship at Nagambi in Victoria in March 2007. In order to do this, a rowing shed was needed, as well as a fleet of boats, oars and trailers to service the rowers in the program.
The approach
After gaining permission from the Orange City Council to use Spring Creek Reservoir and having a development application approved to construct a rowing shed, plans were put in place to realise the dream of the 2007 Nationals that had been articulated by the Rowing Coach, Joe Donnelly, to parents and students. The program was planned to grow over a four-year period and in order to assist with the financial aspects, a fundraising project was registered with the ASF. Fortunately for the school and the rowing club, the growth and financial support has been fueled by student and parental enthusiasm to the extent that the club now has two magnificent trailers and 28 boats. The total amount raised is in the order of $200 000, which would not have been possible without the ASF.
The challenge
At the beginning of the program, the challenge seemed daunting and very long term. Fortunately, rapid growth has been achieved through the success of the rowers and the enthusiasm of the donors, which has drastically reduced the long-term goals of the club to a time frame of only four years. This time frame was certainly not envisaged at the outset of the rowing program.
The successful strategies
The successful strategies revolve around the dream of rowing success at the highest level. The early rowing success of the students by winning two state championships in their first year of rowing also helped to generate enthusiasm within the school and the community. Project registration with the ASF enabled those enthusiastic parents and friends of the rowing club to financially support the dream of competing in the finals at the Nationals in 2007.
Location
Orange is located in central New South Wales approximately three and a half hours west of Sydney and three hours north-west of Canberra

Around the regions
The ASF is pleased to support developmental work being undertaken by sporting and community organisations in regional Australia by being a complementary part of their strategic funding plans. Here is a snapshot of progress on some projects registered with the ASF that will provide superior sporting facilities in their regions.
Circular Head Council
Stage 1 of the Community Recreation Centre was opened in August 2004. The complex can host large sporting fixtures, smaller user groups and functions and has an extensive glass viewing area. Stages 2 and 3 will include a ‘Hall of Fame’ entrance, basketball court, kiosk and additional amenities.
Bonus project outcomes have been a revival of community pride due to the standard of the facility, user-group camaraderie resulting from the shared enterprise, continued volunteer involvement and financial support from various sources. It has been calculated that in excess of 60 per cent of the local population were involved at some stage during the pursuit of the project.
A unique fundraising approach was made to the proprietors of local industry. For example, a donation was sought for each beast processed by the local abattoir and a vegetable processing factory donated for each smoke (steam) ring sent into the atmosphere from their operations. Local service clubs also organised a ‘Walk to Burnie’ (80 kilometres) fundraiser.
The avenue provided by the ASF resulted in grants of approximately $200 000 sourced from a resident population of 8500 people.
Geelong Cricket Club
After two years of strategic planning for an international standard turf wicket practice facility at the Geelong Cricket Club, the club is now only months away from realising its dream. Located in the heart of Geelong, the facility will provide a model of excellence in cricket training and design for all aspiring cricketers.
The process began by establishing advocates for the project and targeting potential stakeholders. With a project cost of $300 000, the club sourced funds from Cricket Victoria, government, a local foundation, and registered a project with the ASF to fundraise $110 000. With the need to structure its plan, the club broke down the fundraising target into achievable chunks, with the first $50 000 raised at a gala dinner. The club is now in its second phase and well on the way to achieving its target.
With key stakeholders, including the state Minister of Sport and representatives from the club’s funding sources, the first sod of soil will be turned in September. The club looks forward to opening the facility in December.
Goldfields Tennis Club
The Goldfields Tennis Centre redevelopment at Kalgoorlie cost $1.0 million and was largely funded through a Community Sport and Recreation Facilities Fund grant. Contributions were also made by the WA state government and the City of Kalgoorlie–Boulder. Twenty four grass courts were replaced with 18 new hardcourts, including 12 with flood lighting.
The project’s registration with the ASF complemented the other funding sources and contributed to the successful completion of this project.
The new courts provide more opportunity for extended play at night and throughout winter. This has provided tremendous benefits for Goldfields’ players to increase both their participation and skill levels.
More than 500 people participate weekly in tennis events and programs run at the centre by the Goldfields Tennis Club. The club runs successful junior and adult playing and coaching programs. Wheelchair tennis was also introduced in 2006. The club stages successful tournaments such as the Goldfields Tennis Open, which is held on the long weekend in June each year.
Leongatha Golf Club
Following a series of hot dry summers when the fairways at Leongatha Golf Club became hard, dry and devoid of any grass and hence virtually unplayable, the members decided to initiate a program of re-planting with Santa Ana Couch. The plan was to complete the project over four years with an aim of providing quality golf year round for members and visitors.
Funding for the project was to be met from Club income and grants from the ASF, received as a result of the generosity of members.
The first planting was on three fairways in the Spring of 2004. This proved to be very successful, and a further five fairways were completed in 2005. The decision has now been taken to complete the remaining fairways this year.
Registering the fairway development with the ASF has proved to be the most popular way to raise funds for the project.
Old Bar Tennis Club
Old Bar Tennis Club has been a Taree community icon since its establishment in 1970. The club has grown from strength to strength since its humble beginnings. In January this year, Tennis NSW recognised the club’s valuable contribution to the development of Tennis in the area and awarded it the ‘NSW Country Tennis Club of the Year 2005.
Following an arson attack earlier this year that destroyed the clubhouse and everything in it, the local community rallied together in a bid to support the club and re-build the clubhouse. The committee estimated they would require $148 000 to reconstruct the clubhouse. To date the Club has raised around $33 000 following a number of fundraising initiatives and grants from the NSW Department of Sport and Recreation and the ASF. There are two major fundraisers, along with some in-kind donations to complete the program. The ASF grants continue to be an important part of the fundraising campaign. Club President Don Sheather anticipates that the clubhouse will be re-opened before the end of October this year.
Southern Grampians Shire Council
The Hamilton Indoor Leisure and Aquatic Centre was constructed at a cost of $9.71 million, with the objective of improving access to sport and recreation opportunities within the Hamilton community.
This state-of-the-art facility, comprising various swimming pools, four multi-purpose courts, gymnasium, table tennis room and four squash courts, will meet the needs of the residents of Southern Grampians Shire and the wider community for many years to come.
The facility was made possible through a $2.5 million grant from the Victorian Government, Southern Grampians Shire funding, corporate sponsorship and ASF grants received as a result of generous community support for the project.
The Hamilton Indoor Leisure and Aquatic Centre commenced operations in March 2006 and is proving an outstanding success, already attracting the Australian National Youth Table Tennis Championships in April this year.
What are sport development projects
While facility development and equipment are the main project types registered with the ASF by sporting organisations, the category of sport development is rapidly increasing in popularity. The description that follows is from the ASF series of fact sheets, available in hard copy from the ASF and also on the ASF web site (www.asf.org.au).
ASF sport development projects incorporate programs designed to increase opportunities for Australians to excel in sports performance, or participate in sport or record sports history.
Projects will be considered for ASF registration where the following
types of activities are involved:
. Clinics, camps, events — used to promote sport and increase participation levels and excellence. May include access to facilities and services, come and try days, specialised training camps, coaching clinics and courses. Designed to be short term and of not more than two months duration.
. Higher level of competition — where individuals, or association, club or school teams, as part of a development program, gain experience at a higher level of competition. Elements may include travel, clothing, equipment and competition entry fees.
. Sports scholarships — individual athlete scholarships which assist athlete training and preparation for competition. Elements of the scholarship may include clothing, equipment, access to facilities, competition entry fees, or sports science and sports medicine services for the athlete.
. Sports history — recording of sporting history, recognising significant personalities or teams and their contributions to sport, displaying items of significance, facility development and fit out, memorabilia preservation and storage.
Please note that this is an indicative list only. Contact the ASF if you have any questions about whether a particular activity that you are proposing may be suitable for registering as a project with the ASF.
