Outside forces such as: • population drift • lack of employment opportunities and • prolonged drought conditions have impacted on the Football and Netball clubs sustainability. Although this review has a strong focus on the senior and junior competitions in and around the Wagga Wagga region, the Hume League will feature strongly in planning for the future. METHOD OF ANALYSIS Using the information gathered by the Montgomery Report (2008 AFL regional review ) and subsequent club questionnaires/submissions, a set of guiding principles were developed to establish the foundations for the report. The key guiding principles established were: • Player retention - Junior and Senior • Community – Town & People • Club Viability • Netball • Pathway from Junior to Senior FINDINGS The findings clearly indicated that all clubs wanted the right to continue for as long as they were able to meet their commitments. They also voiced their concerns that the Montgomery report failed to deliver the required changes needed to the senior competition structures. The three areas for change highlighted by the information gathered were: • the need for changes to competition structures (ongoing) • streamline and increase administration resources • a need for streamlined effective governance. PROCESS FOR COMMUNICATION All stakeholders will have a two week period following the release of the review on the 19 th of June to submit written feedback to the review committee. Submissions will be received up and until the 3rd of July. Following receipt of the submissions, meetings will be conducted with stakeholders as the committee deem appropriate. 3 The findings of the review will be posted on the AFL (NSW/ACT) website on Friday June 19. CONCLUSIONS The strong message is that changes to competition structures within the region will be ongoing as a result of a changing environment. To accommodate these changes there is a need for • flexible competition structures • streamlined administration systems • an increase of administration resources by the AFL (NSW/ACT) RECOMMENDATIONS Changes to the competition structure that will cater for flexibility and the establishment of an administration hub that will streamline competition systems are to be implemented in 2010. 4 Guiding Principles The AFL (NSW/ACT) review committee used the following guiding principals in the creation of the review of football in Southern NSW. They were established using information compiled from: • The Montgomery Report • Club Questionnaires • Club & League Interviews • Club Submissions A Category (Highest Priority) • Player Retention • Community: Town & People • Club Viability: Short / Medium / Long Term • Netball • Pathway: Junior – Senior B Category (Medium Priority) • Travel • Same Day Football • Resources / Volunteers C Category (Lower Priority) • Standard • Financial / Social • History • Umpires 5 Competition Structure AFL Riverina The overarching name of all the competitions will be called AFL Riverina.

Box 646 Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 Ph: (02) 69 319050 Fax: (02) 69 319040 email:[email protected] www.reroc.com.au SUBMISSION BY RIVERINA EASTERN REGIONAL ORGANISATION OF COUNCILS INQUIRY INTO THE INTEGRATION OF REGIONAL RAIL AND ROAD FREIGHT TRANSPORT AND THEIR INTERFACE WITH PORTS The Riverina Eastern Regional Organisation of Councils (REROC) is a voluntary association of 12 local governments located in the eastern Riverina region of NSW. The members of REROC are the councils of Bland, Coolamon, Cootamundra, Greater Hume, Gundagai, Junee, Lockhart, Temora, Tumbarumba, Tumut, Urana and Wagga Wagga. The REROC Region In preparing this submission the members of the Organisation have been consulted and their views are reflected in the comments made below. Local governments operating in rural and regional areas, as REROC members do, play an influential role in driving local economic development. Our members, therefore, are very aware of the important role that regional arterial roads and the rail network have in assisting to deliver positive economic outcomes. The Riverina region is one of Australia’s great foodbowls and as such is a significant exporter of fresh and processed food products. Forestry industries operating in the east of our region are manufacturing paper and timber products, which are also destined for overseas markets. All of these manufacturing and processing enterprises are using regional roads and rail networks to transport their products to ports and the effectiveness of the network impacts on their economic viability and their long-term sustainability.

  • AFL Victoria Player Points System Policy January 2020
    AFL Victoria Player Points System Policy January 2020 1 AFL VICTORIA PLAYER POINTS SYSTEM (PPS) POLICY 1. Objective of the Community Club Sustainability Program and PPS Policy The Community Club Sustainability Program (CCSP) subcommittee believes that equalisation of community football competitions is vital for community football. Even and fair competitions lead to interest, which leads to bigger crowds, which leads to stronger clubs and competitions. Even competitions allow supporters and club volunteers the chance to turn up on any given match day with the knowledge that the outcome of the game is uncertain and that their team is a chance of winning. This mindset motivates people to become and remain engaged with their community club and provides rewards and recognition to all those that assist in putting a team out on the field. The philosophy of competition equalisation is accepted in sports all around the world. Professional sporting bodies have accepted practices such as drafts, salary caps, and the like in order to help competitions ensure competitiveness and club sustainability. The objectives of the state PPS Policy are as follows, to: 1. support equalization of community football Competitions; 2. ensure teams fielded in the Competitions are strong and as equally matched as possible; 3. provide the best opportunities for players to develop and display their skills; 4. provide opportunities to compete at a community level within an orderly and fair system; 5. enable team spirit and public support; 6. encourage community and corporate sponsorships of Community Clubs; 7. reduce the inflationary nature of player payments to assist clubs survive financially and reduce financial burden/stress on Clubs; 8.

    3.79 31 Field Notes on the Black Falcon By GEORGE W. BEDGGOOD, Lindenow South, Victoria, 3866. Because of the dearth of published records for Falco subniger in Victoria and southern New South Wales, I have summarised all my observations from 1955 to 1978. Wheeler ( 1967) lists it as "rather rare" but records it for all districts of Victoria. Although a bird of the drier inland plains, its nomadic wanderings may result in unexpected appearances outside its normal range. Factors affecting a regular food supply, such as drought, no doubt are responsible for such movements. Because its non-hunting flight is so "crow-like" it could easily be mistaken as "a corvid". The dark sooty-brown plumage which appears black, particularly when the bird is some distance from the observer, or when seen in silhouette, its similar size and general outline could all contribute to mistaken identification. When hunting, its flight is typically falcon-like, swift and calculated. Due to its size and lack of pattern in the plumage it ought not be confused with any other falcon. Between September 1955 and December 1956 I was able to record the species at Jindera, N.S.W., and in Victoria at Bonegilla and Corryong. The Jindera bird was my first experience with the Black Falcon. A farmer travelling in the car and knowing my interest in birds remarked that a pair had been seen frequently in the district. Approaching Jindera we flushed a bird from a telephone post. The farmer immediately identified it as a Black Falcon. It flapped and glided to a windbreak some distance away, its flight no different to that of the many corvids we had passed since leaving Albury.

To use another overblown metaphor, clubs are also the essential fabric out of which the rich, variegated tapestry of the game’s history has been woven.
