Did you Know?

Gaming Revenue makes up about 79% of the clubs total revenue this is down 19% from the year 1999/2000.

In the last financial year the club paid $16,504,022 in Gaming Tax, $9,373,069 in GST and $902,307 in payroll tax.

Last financial year the club contributed $991,094 to sport in the local community. This equates to supporting a total of 32 individual affiliated sporting bodies and approximately 5 non-affiliated sports. The investment benefits over 5000 individuals.

The funding goes to subsidies for registration fees, sports clothing, ground maintenance, lighting and assistance for specific sports persons to attend state, national and international events.

The Community Development Support Expenditure Scheme (CDSE) is a scheme developed by the club industry and the NSW State Government to invest 1.5% of total gaming revenue towards community groups who come under two specific categories. Category 1 covers specific community welfare and social services, community development, community health services and employment assistance activities. Category 2 covers other community development support services.

Many CDSE recipients are not currently in the radar of State or Federal Government funding.

Your Club in the past has committed over 4% to this worthy scheme.

Bankstown Sports Club employs over 480 people which equates to $13,533,066 in annual wages, $1,026,010 in superannuation with a total annual employment bill of $16, 596,985. Majority of our employees live in the city of Bankstown.

Indirectly the clubs contribution to the community and the local, state and national economy is much greater.

In the last financial year the clubs total payments for products/services provided totalled $54,551,955. This investment supports thousands of individual businesses and therefore thousands of employees.

A recent draft report released by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal on Registered Clubs showed that clubs make a positive social contribution to the state to the tune of $893 million.
