Regards LUKE TURNER Policy Manager Taylor Street Advisory | PO Box 218 Rozelle NSW 2039 W: www.taylorstreetadvisory.com 29 March, 2017 Prof. Ed Blakely West Central District Commissioner Greater Sydney Commission Dear Professor Blakely Australian Racing Drivers’ Club Submission to the Greater Sydney Commission West Central Draft District Plan Sydney Motorsport Park, a 92-hectare site at Eastern Creek (part of Western Sydney Parklands) is operated by one of Australia’s leading motorsport organizations - The Australian Racing Drivers’ Club. The venue currently has an impressive annual visitation of 330,000 spectators, competitors, experience participants, extensive driver safety and training activities, major events and community programs. A new and broader vision is being shaped for the Sydney Motorsport Park precinct that we believe will be of high interest to the Greater Sydney Commission and its strategy to attract smart jobs to Western Sydney and agglomerate industry expertise with research and education opportunities. In short, the vision is to see the addition of: • a specialist mechanical engineering high school/technical college (a new educational pathway for students in the region through motorsport and engineering with links industry and to Western Sydney University and TAFE for research and further education; plus venue and major event management education courses; • a cluster of on site and co-located high performance automotive and aeronautical industry engineering business hub; and • collaboration with Government and industry for research and testing of automotive vehicles and associated innovation. Further, it is expected that the development of the site will yield significantly increased tourism and major events activity and community engagement. We are convinced this broader vision will bring significant social and economic impact through developing talented students in the region, growing smart jobs in innovative globally relevant industry in and around the motorsport precinct, and being an even more significant player in regions visitor economy.

We believe that an ongoing focus on productivity, liveability and sustainability in all land use planning and infrastructure decisions will hold the city in good stead for future generations to enjoy the prosperity and opportunity that has made Sydney one of the world’s greatest places to live, work and do business. The ARDC is particularly interested in engaging with the GSC to discuss how the Eastern Creek Motorsport precinct can become a centre of specialisation in automotive technology, advanced and high performance engineering and associated education and training. The 92ha Sydney Motorsport Park site - an established and successful sports, education, tourism/entertainment and community facility operated on behalf of the NSW Government/Western Sydney Parklands Trust by the ARDC- is uniquely placed in Greater Sydney to agglomerate business, industry, and education innovation, delivering significant social and economic impact in the district. THE ARDC VISION The ARDC is the heart and soul, and fundamental driving force of Australian motorsports. We ignite passion and integrity within our growing club base - always focusing on the intrinsic benefits to our Members together with the Motorsports community at large. With our collective interests and beliefs, we strive to remain a powerful force for change in our community. ARDC is also the ‘go to’ point for Australian motorsports. Built on our rich heritage, we aim to be a truly authentic leader of motorsports people, creating a sustainable future for our EST. 1952 sport, our community, and the related industries that live and thrive on what we do. The ARDC ‘s clear vision is to continue to set the benchmark for Australian motorsport facilities, to grow and evolve its motorsport member constituency, and to create environments where those embolden with a passion for motorsport are drawn collectively to ignite their inspiration and realise their dreams. The ARDC - We Love Motorsport ACCELERATING THE PLAN ACCELERATING THE PLAN To succeed the ARDC must continue to embrace and engage with the broader and closely aligned communities of science & technology, engineering, innovation and education - and particularly maximise the potential of its dominant location centrality in Western Sydney. The ARDC recognises that to do so requires innovative thinking combined with unique Government, Education and Commercial relationships to deliver. This is evolved, though not entirely new thinking. In 2008 the ARDC commissioned a EST. 1952 $600K feasibility study & masterplan –including original concepts for track changes for Formula 1 ($120m). This was later revised, refined and prioritised, leading to a Stage 1 Development (Brabham Circuit extension & enhanced infrastructure) via a $14M investment( incl $7m in Government funding for Capital Program redevelopment) and now supported by an annual $1M+ capital works program. The period between 2012 and 2017 has also witnessed a significant brand and business transformation for the race circuit once known as Eastern Creek International Raceway to SYDNEY MOTORSPORT PARK (SMSP). With over 330k visitors annually, and multi-circuit operations over 300 days per year, SMSP is now the regions pre-eminent motorsport facility and the only FIA Grade 2 circuit in the country– firmly entrenching itself as THE Home of Motorsport in Australia.

Warren A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Human Movement, Performance and Recreation Victoria University 2005 FTS THESIS 344.099 WAR 30001008090740 Warren, Ian J. M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.

May, 2019 AUTUMN HISTORIC WARWICK Image by Ian Welsh Rain, sunshine and lap records Rain did not dampen the enthusiasm of the 155 entrants who made their way to Warwick’s Morgan Park Raceway to kick start the Queensland historic racing season. Warwick district, like the rest of the Darling Downs area, being in the grips of a severe drought so there were no complaints about the patchy rain that fell for qualifying and the ini�al racing on Saturday. By Saturday a�ernoon the sun broke through and remained for the rest of the Image by Ian Welsh race mee�ng which made for some great historic racing and rese�ng of lap records around the 3km circuit. Perhaps the highlight of the mee�ng was the first visit to Morgan Park by the famous Anse� Elfin MS7, well-driven by Tom Tweedie to a new lap record for Group Q Sports Cars (1970-1977) of 1min:15.346sec, slashing the previous record by a staggering 3.6 seconds. Anthony Paynter brought his Stag Formula Vee from Western Sydney and twice lowered the lap Record for Group Va (‘65-‘74), carving 4 seconds off and leaving it at 1:34.600, and winning his Class in all 4 races. Nigel Jones, Image by Ian Welsh also from Sydney, reduced the Group Vb (‘75-‘85) record by 0.9 second to 1:34.361, taking three of the four Class victories.

  • Horse-Related Injury in Australia
    AIHW N A T I O N A L I N J U R Y S U R V E I L L A N C E U N I T Issue 24, May 2000 Horse-related injury in Australia Raymond A. Cripps AIHW Cat. No. INJ26 Introduction Horse riding is a popular sport and recreational activity in Australia. In the Equestrian Federation of Australia, with a membership of 13,800 equestrians, 28,500 horses are registered to compete in events sponsored by its 500 affiliated clubs. An additional 60,000 equestrians are members of Pony clubs and about 5,000 horse riders actively compete in rodeos (personal communication, Denzil O’Brien, The Equestrian Federation of Australia, February 2000). Deaths and injury from horse-related activities have been well documented in Australia and overseas (Pounder 1984), (Bixby-Hammett & Brooks 1990), (Ingemarson et al. 1989), and (Paix 1999), but studies using national population figures to calculate mortality and morbidity rates for horse-related injury in Australia and overseas are few. Estimates of injury rates based on exposure (riding hours or horse riding participation) among all classes of horse riders combined are generally of the order of one injury per 1000 riding hours. This rate suggests horse riding is more dangerous than motorcycle riding and automobile racing (Gierup et al. 1976); (Firth 1985); (Nelson et al. 1994); and (Paix 1999). The danger from horse riding is compounded by the interaction of two species, human and horse, which may result in unpredictable events. Although in population terms, the frequency of death and injury is low, the severity of horse related injuries is high, particularly in children and young adults (based on estimated numbers of annual sports injuries and hospitalisations) (Silver and Lloyd Parry 1991).

Where sponsorship deals have not been reported, the Sponsorship Today team actively seeks data through web searches, annual financial reports and contacting sponsors, agencies and rights holders. Most sponsorship deals are not reported and, of those that are, the majority do not provide accurate fee or duration data. IMR estimates unreported fee values through comparisons with similar deals, contacts with industry insiders and through its long experience of creating sponsorship analysis reports. There is no guarantee of accuracy of estimates. The sponsorship industry is also known to overstate sponsorship fee values. Such reports are frequently based on the maximum potential value of a deal and might include the total should all incentive clauses (such as sporting success) be met and no morality clauses invoked.
