Clubs sector
MR PARTON (Brindabella) (3.44): I move:
That this Assembly:
(1) notes the important contribution made by clubs in the ACT, such as:
(a) a social contribution of $39 million through community donations, subsidised access to facilities and volunteering;
(b) an investment of over $140 million in local sport teams and sporting infrastructure since 2000;
(c) employment of over 1745 people which is on average per club more than any other State or Territory; and
(d) that clubs maintain and operate the vast majority of the ACT’s sport and recreational infrastructure, over 400 hectares;
(2) further notes that in 2016, a tripartisan committee, including Ms Fitzharris MLA, Mr Rattenbury MLA and Ms Lawder MLA, included the following recommendations:
(a) the Committee recommends that a taskforce be established “to develop an action plan for problem gambling” with an initial focus, “to reduce the duration of gambling problems when they arise in individuals using targeted approaches”;
(b) the Committee recommends that the Government not apply a Lease Variation Charge when clubs seek to vary their leases at the clubs premises to assist in diversifying their revenue base; and
(c) the Committee recommends that the Government consider how best to devise a water subsidy scheme for eligible clubs;
