The Community Development support and Expenditure (CDSE) Scheme is designed by the government to ensure that larger registered Clubs in NSW contribute to front-line services in the local community. Under the legislation, Bankstown Sports Club is required to invest 1.5% of our total gaming revenue in community projects under two specific categories. The first category covers community welfare and social services, community development and community health services and employment assistance activities. The second category covers other community development and suppoprt services.
Bankstown Sports has attempted to contribute 4% or approximately $3m each year and has done so for a considerable period of time, but this is becoming increasingly difficult, give the constraints of an increased government tax and new smoking legislation.
The tax year for CDSE is September to August. In the current year, Bankstown Sports has contributed $845,340. Some of the recent community groups who recieved assistance were:
- Bankstown City Aged Care - $135,000
- MS Society NSW/Vic - $75,000
- Bankstown Hospital - Nursing - $40,000
- NSW Institute of Sport - $30,000
- Wheelchair Sport NSW - $20,000
- Bankstown Children Festival - $10,000
- Bankstown Girls High School - $30,000
- Bankstown Public School - $20,000
- Punchbowl Boys High - $7,000
In addition to the above, we continue to support over 40 local sporting bodies.
