TENNIS NEW SOUTH WALES LIMITED ACN 000 011 558 MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD AT SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK TENNIS CENTRE, DRIVE, SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK NSW 2127 ON 19 NOVEMBER 2019 COMMENCING 7:00PM (AEDT)

BOARD: Kim Warwick (President), Melissa Achten, Andrea Galloway, Warren Green, Ryan Henry, Helen Magill, Andrew Mitton, Brian Morris, Wayne Swaysland and Anna Wyke

MEMBERS: See attached list

EMPLOYEES: Lawrence Robertson (CEO), David Garnsey (Company Secretary), Monir Safari (Financial Controller), Gavin Cowan, Madeleine Farac, Michelle Howe, Shaun Mulraney, Tiarnna Spice and Tayla Wilson

ATTENDEES: Joseph Santangelo (Nexia) and Kanika Prasad (Nexia)

1. Opening Remarks Mr Warwick as Chair of the meeting noted that a quorum of Members was present and declared the meeting open at 7:13pm. Mr Warwick welcomed the Members and introduced the Board. Apologies were noted from Dave Allen, Joel Goodwin, Karen Littlejohn, Ken Rose, Terry Stewart, John Whittaker OAM and Paul Wigney. 2. Notice of Meeting and Agenda Mr Warwick confirmed that the Notice of Meeting had been sent to all Members and proposed that the Notice of Meeting be taken as read. There were no objections. The agenda for the meeting was outlined. 3. Approval of Minutes Mr Warwick referred to the minutes of the previous AGM held on 20 November 2018. He noted that, since the issue of the Notice of Meeting, amendments had been made by adding to the list of attendees both Life Member Wendy Saville and Brett Thomas representing Kiama & Shellharbour District Tennis Association.

1

Subject to those amendments, it was resolved to approve the minutes and the Chair was authorised to sign them as a correct record. Mr Warwick referred to the minutes of the Special General Meeting held on 11 April 2019. He noted that, since the issue of the Notice of Meeting, corrections had been made to the list of attendees to reflect the fact that Brett Thomas held proxies at that meeting for eight Members, for whom Brett Bevan had originally been listed as the proxy. Subject to those corrections, it was resolved to approve the minutes and the Chair was authorised to sign them as a correct record. Mr Warwick referred to the minutes of the Special General Meeting held on 9 August 2019. It was resolved to approve the minutes and the Chair was authorised to sign them as a correct record. 4. Financial Reports 2018/2019 The meeting received and considered the Financial Reports for the year ended 30 June 2019, which had been circulated with the Notice of Meeting. Mr Robertson presented the highlights of the Financial Reports, confirming that the surplus for the 2018/2019 year after investment income from the Grass Roots Fund was $1,919,666, compared to $453,153 in the previous year. This result had been achieved due to a portion of the $50.5 million grant in respect of the Arena upgrade being recognised as revenue in the financial year and notwithstanding the fact that the annual operating costs had increased by 62.9%. Mr Robertson confirmed that the value of the Grass Roots Fund was now close to $18.4 million and that the investment portfolio had delivered income of well above the target of approximately 5%. He also observed that the completion of the Ken Rosewall Arena upgrade project in December 2019 would have a significant effect on the financial position. A number of questions were raised by the Members and addressed by Mr Robertson, who also noted that a court-imposed confidentiality order prevented him from detailing each individual component of the “Legal, professional and settlement fees” category of expenses. In response to a question from Life Member, Des Nicholl, Mr Robertson stated that it was inappropriate to amend Note 21(b) on page 23 of the Financial Reports to include a summary or statement of the findings of Dr Annabelle Bennett AO SC in the disciplinary proceedings involving eight Life Members in May 2019. He also expressed the view that the selected passages that Mr Nicholl had extracted from Dr Bennett’s Decision could not be regarded as a comprehensive summary of her findings.

2

However, at the request of Mr Nicholl, Mr Robertson read the following words from Dr Bennett’s Decision and confirmed that they would be included in the minutes of the meeting:

“In my view it was not inappropriate for the directors, who were not themselves legally qualified and who found themselves in a complex position, to take advice from solicitors and, when that advice was not complete and/or not clear, to go further and obtain advice from Senior Counsel. Indeed, it could be said to have been prudent.

… In circumstances where I do not consider that the Life Members contravened clause 15 of the Constitution… I determine that none of the Life Members, including Mrs Langsford, should have their life membership of Tennis NSW terminated.” 5. Annual Report 2018/2019 The meeting received and considered the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019. Mr Warwick presented the highlights of the 2018/2019 year. In the course of doing so, he expressed the desire of Tennis NSW to have strong Associations, espoused the potential benefits of the upcoming Open Court Sessions campaign and encouraged Clubs to embrace the Tennis Restart initiative to enable them to successfully plan for the future. He indicated that hard copies of the Annual Report would be mailed to Members who requested it. 6. Director Election Mr Warwick confirmed that there were three nominations for the Country position (David Graham, Chris Lees and Andrew Mitton). He confirmed that it was a strong group of candidates and thanked all three for their nominations, noting that Mr Mitton was the Board’s recommended candidate, based on his business and tennis experience and his expertise and skills assessed against the Board Skills Matrix. Each of the three nominees took the opportunity to speak in support of their nominations. Mr Warwick exercised his option as Chair to declare a poll for the director election and confirmed that the poll would be conducted by way of a secret ballot. He introduced Joseph Santangelo and Mick Parslow OAM as the scrutineers of all polls to be taken at the meeting. There were no objections. Mr Warwick declared the number of proxy votes he held as Chair was 99, of which one was unassigned. He confirmed that the unassigned proxy would be cast in favour of Andrew Mitton. The Members were asked to complete their director election voting cards.

3

7. Special Resolution Mr Warwick confirmed that the Board was proposing a resolution to allow electronic voting at general meetings by way of amendments to clause 12 of the Constitution. He noted that the proposed amendments were set out in the Notice of Meeting, including by way of a marked-up version of the Constitution. He put the following resolution to the meeting:

“To consider and, if thought fit, pass a special resolution to insert into clause 12 of the Constitution the additional words, including the proposed new clause 12.6, set out in Annex 6 to the Notice of Meeting.” A number of questions about electronic voting were raised by the Members and addressed by Mr Robertson and Mr Garnsey. Mr Warwick offered other Members the opportunity to speak against the resolution but there were no further comments. Mr Warwick exercised his right as Chair to declare a poll on the special resolution and confirmed that Joseph Santangelo and Mick Parslow would act as scrutineers of this poll. Mr Warwick declared the number of proxy votes he held as Chair of the special resolution agenda item was 99, of which one was unassigned. He confirmed that the unassigned proxy would be cast in favour of the special resolution and that a 75% majority of votes cast was required to pass the special resolution.

8. Adjournment of the Meeting – Poll Mr Warwick adjourned the meeting at 8:30pm for the purpose of conducting the poll and compiling the results. During the adjournment, Mr Robertson provided a strategic update, identifying the major challenges facing Tennis NSW as Club management and marketing, local government, the coaching workforce and tournaments and competitions. He assured the Members that an expanded Tennis NSW team was energised and committed to making a difference in a competitive sporting environment. Mr Robertson also took questions from Members, including several from Brett Bevan in relation to the National Redress Scheme, the actions that Tennis NSW is taking to promote child-safe environments at its Member Clubs and the extent of Mr Robertson’s knowledge of, and involvement in, any complaint made against a Tennis NSW employee.

4

9. Re-Convening of Meeting The meeting was reconvened at 8:48pm. Mr Warwick declared that: (a) Andrew Mitton had been re-elected as the Country-nominated director; (b) the special resolution in relation to electronic voting had not carried; and (c) the voting cards would be destroyed

10. Meeting Closure There being no further business, the meeting closed at 8:52pm.

4. The Company, Objectives, Strategic Direction and Risks The Company’s vision is to connect more people to tennis in New South Wales. Its role is to empower, engage and support its Members to help grow the game. The Constitution states that the objects for which the Company is established are to: (a) govern, promote and develop tennis in New South Wales; (b) be the principal body for the governance of tennis in New South Wales and to settle disputes relating to Tennis in New South Wales; (c) uphold and maintain the rules and regulations of tennis in New South Wales; (d) organise, conduct and promote tennis matches, tournaments, championships, events and activities in New South Wales; (e) construct, furnish and maintain any tennis courts or other grounds, buildings or works for use in tennis matches, tournaments, championships, events and activities in New South Wales; (f) assist and encourage communication between Members; (g) assist Members to promote and develop tennis in New South Wales; and (h) do all things incidental to assisting in achieving the objects of the Company.

In June 2018, the Board and Management of the Company developed and adopted a revised Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan identifies three key drivers of tennis – Clubs, Coaches and Councils. The Company will focus on 4 strategic pillars;  Play – To support Clubs and Coaches to get more people playing tennis  Places – To assist Clubs, Coaches and Councils to invest in and operate sustainable venues  Promote – To effectively promote tennis and the work of the Company  People – To attract, retain and develop great people to help deliver tennis In February 2020 as part of an annual strategy and risk planning process, the Board, together with Senior Management, identified key strategic risks facing Tennis NSW, including:

 Financial;  Member;  Participation;  Child Safety;  Employee; and  Governance Soon after this, the Board incorporated the ongoing management of the risks of COVID-19 through the Audit & Risk Committee regularly meeting with Senior Management to agree and monitor contingency plans.

5. Principal Activities The Company is a public company limited by guarantee and is a not-for-profit organisation. The principal activities of the Company during the financial year were to govern, promote and develop the game of of tennis in New South Wales. There was no significant change in the nature of these activities during the financial year.

Tennis New South Wales Limited Directors’ report (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020

6. Operating and Financial Review The Company’s net result for the year ended 30 June 2020, after the inclusion of revenue from the Ken Rosewall Arena Grant, was a surplus of $44,730,786 (2019: $1,919,666) which was equal to the total comprehensive income of the Company of $44,730,786 (2019: $1,919,666).

In the last quarter of the financial year, the Company was successful in securing COVID-19 government support in the form of JobKeeper and Cash Flow Boost payments, as well as rental relief for the period 1 April 2020 to 30 September 2020.

This along with strong cost control measures has resulted in an operating surplus excluding depreciation and amortisation of $181,120 (2019: operating loss of $2,236,214). The directors believe this continuing focus on cost control will be essential for the Company’s performance as the potential long-term impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on revenue are realised in future financial years.

7. Significant Changes in the State of Affairs In the opinion of the directors there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company that occurred during the financial year under review.

8. Likely Developments The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly provided a fresh set of challenges for the management and governance of the Company in both the short and the medium term.

The state of New South Wales has been successful in managing the second wave of COVID-19 infections and, to a large extent, tennis has been able to continue, albeit mainly at the grass roots level. A large majority of venues have re-opened and, while some have been affected financially, there has also been an increase in demand for tennis.

The Company has taken a conservative approach to the financial management of the pandemic and its long-term planning will be dependent on the size and scale of the tournament, which is due to be staged in Melbourne in January 2021. The Company is reliant on Tennis , as its principal source of funding, to support the Company’s operations, staffing and programming and it has built its plans on a range of financial scenarios that it may face in the next 12-24 months.

Throughout that period, the Company’s focus will be on maximising its support of the Membership, minimising its costs and managing its cash position. The Company will continue to explore ways to encourage and facilitate the growth and success of tennis clubs and coaches and to assist councils to invest in sustainable tennis venues. At the same time, the Company will ensure that it takes all appropriate steps to promote the wellbeing and development of the Company’s employees.

The Company is fortunate to have substantial reserves. Given the expected length of the pandemic, the rate at which restrictions are being eased and the financial projections of Tennis Australia, the likelihood is that, in addition to utilising an approved amount to help improve tennis facilities across NSW, it will be necessary for the Company to call upon those reserves to support the business over the next 12-24 months. While neither the directors nor the Management of the Company have any concern about the ongoing solvency of the Company, the Board recognises the imperative of managing the use of the reserves in a prudent manner.

9. Environmental Regulations The Company’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulations under Commonwealth, State or Territory legislation.

The directors are not aware of any significant breaches of environmental regulations during the period covered by this report.

10. Indemnification and Insurance of Officers Indemnification The Company has agreed to indemnify the directors and officers of the Company against all liabilities to another person (other than the Company or a related body corporate) that may arise from their position as directors of the Company, except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith. The agreement stipulates that the Company will meet the full amount of any such liabilities, including costs and expenses.

Insurance Premiums Tennis Australia, through a national insurance scheme, provides the Company with directors’ and officers’ liability and legal expense insurance for current and former directors and officers of the Company. The continuity of insurance has been maintained during the year.

Tennis New South Wales Limited Notes to the financial statements

1. Reporting entity Tennis New South Wales Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The Company is a company limited by guarantee. The address of the Company’s registered office is: Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre 1 Rod Laver Drive Sydney Olympic Park, NSW

The Company is a not for profit entity and the principal activities of the Company during the course of the financial year were the promotion and development of the game of tennis in New South Wales.

2. Basis of preparation (a) Statement of compliance The financial statements are Tier 2 general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 as appropriate for not-for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements. This is the first set of the annual financial statements in which AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities, and AASB 16 Leases has been applied. Changes to significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 (p). The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 6th October 2020.

(b) Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments and trading investments which are measured at fair value.

(c) Functional and presentation currency The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

(e) Comparatives Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current year financial information.

(f) Going concern As noted in Note 25, the Company is reliant upon Tennis Australia and receives grant funding that forms an integral part of the funding required for the Company to achieve its short and long term objectives. As part of the directors’ consideration of the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements, a range of scenarios have been reviewed. The assumptions modelled are based on the estimated potential impact of COVID-19 restrictions and regulations, along with our proposed responses over the course of the next 12 months. These include a range of estimated impacts primarily based on length of time various levels of restrictions are in place and the severity of the consequent impact of those restrictions on Tennis NSW Limited. In response, the Company has introduced cost control measures and other actions to preserve the cash position of the Company going forward. In the event that grant funding from Tennis Australia Limited should cease, or be reduced, it is the view of the officers that the Company would still be able to continue meeting the above objectives, albeit to a lesser extent. The Directors have concluded that it is appropriate that these financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, taking regard of the above and while acknowledging the uncertainties around forecasting financials in the COVID-19 environment. The Directors acknowledge that such uncertainties do not represent material uncertainties related to going concern.

3. Significant accounting policies (a) Financial instruments The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. Other than adoption of AASB 15, AASB 1058 and AASB 16, refer Note 3 (p), these have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these financial statements (i) Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transaction costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:  Amortised cost  Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)  Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. Classifications are determined by both:  The Company’s business model for managing the financial asset  The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables, which is presented within other expenses.

(iii) Subsequent measurement of financial assets Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):  They are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows  The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instrument as well as long-term deposits that were previously classified as loans and receivables under AASB 139. The Company do not hold any financial assets at FVOCI.

(iv) Loans and receivables Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

12

Tennis New South Wales Limited Notes to the financial statements

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(a) Financial instruments (continued) (v) Non-derivative financial liabilities The Company has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: trade and other payables.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

(b) Property, plant and equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of property, plant and equipment at 1 July 2004, the date of transition to AASBs, was determined by reference to its cost at that date. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent costs Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment.

The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows:  Leasehold Buildings and Stands 10 - 25 years  Australian Tennis Museum (ATM) 10 - 20 years  Plant and Equipment 3 - 20 years  Clay Courts 10 years  Leasehold Powells Creek 10 years  SOPTC Grounds 10 - 20 years  KRA Leasehold Improvements 20 - 25 years

The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually.

(c) Intangible assets (i) Recognition and measurement Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

13

Tennis New South Wales Limited Notes to the financial statements

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Intangible assets (continued) (ii) Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

(iii) Amortisation Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful life for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

 Leases - 25 years

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(d) Impairment (i) Financial assets (including receivables) AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses - the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements include loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost. The Company makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.

(ii) Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Employee benefits (i) Long-term employee benefits The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using expected future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates, and is discounted using the rates attached to the Commonwealth Government bonds at the balance sheet date which have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Company’s obligations.

(ii) Short-term benefits Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on wage and salary rates that the Company expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax. A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(f) Income received in advance The liability for income received in advance is the unutilised amounts of grants/other revenue received on the condition that specified services are delivered or conditions are fulfilled. The services are usually provided or the conditions usually fulfilled within 12 months of receipt of the grant. Where the amount received is in respect of services to be provided over a period that exceeds 12 months after the reporting date or the conditions will only be satisfied more than 12 months after the reporting date, the liability is discounted and presented as non-current.

(g) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(h) Revenue and other income Revenue and other income policy after 1 July 2019 (i) Revenue recognition policy for revenue from contracts with customers (AASB 15) AASB 15 requires revenue to be recognised when control of a promised good or service is passed to the customer at an amount which reflects the expected consideration. The customer for these contracts is the fund provider. Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step model as follows:

1) Identify the contract with the customer 2) Identify the performance obligations 3) Determine the transaction price 4) Allocate the transaction price 5) Recognise revenue

Generally, the timing of the payment for sale of goods and rendering of services corresponds closely to the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligations, however where there is a difference, it will result in the recognition of a receivable, contract asset or contract liability. None of the revenue streams of the Company have any significant financing terms as there is less than 12 months between receipt of funds and satisfaction of performance obligations. Costs are recognised on an accrual basis.

Grant income from Government Grant income arising from an agreement which contains enforceable and sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised when control of each performance obligations is satisfied. This is generally the case for the monies from the Government and the performance obligations are varied based on the agreement. Within grant agreements there may be some performance obligations where control transfers at a point in time and others which have continuous transfer of control over the life of the contract. Where control is transferred over time, generally the revenue is recognition based on either cost or time incurred

15

which best reflects the transfer of control. Tennis New South Wales Limited Notes to the financial statements 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (h) Revenue and other income (continued) Affiliation fees Revenue from affiliation fees is recognised in the profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to the period to which membership relates.

Venue hire Revenue from venue hire is recognised in the profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to the period to which venue hire relates.

(ii) Revenue recognition policy for revenue streams which are either not enforceable or do not have sufficiently specific performance obligations (AASB 1058) Grant income Assets arising from grants in the scope of AASB 1058 are recognised at their fair value when the asset is received. These assets are generally cash but may be property which has been donated or sold to the Company at significantly below its fair value. Once the asset has been recognised, the Company recognises any related liability amounts. Subsequent to recognition of the assets and liabilities, income is recognised for any difference between the recorded amounts.

Volunteer services The Company has elected not to record volunteer services in the financial statements. Volunteer services received relate to accounting, human resources, legal and information technology resources from Tennis Australia, as well as volunteers assisting in the organising and running of tennis events throughout NSW.

(iii) Significant estimates and judgements relating to revenue For many of the grant agreements received, the determination of whether the contract includes sufficiently specific performance obligations was a significant judgement involving discussions with several parties at the Company, review of the proposal documents prepared during the grant application phase and consideration of the terms and conditions. Grants received by the Company have been accounted for under both AASB 15 and AASB 1058 depending on the terms and conditions and decisions made. If this determination was changed then the revenue recognition pattern would be different from that recognised in this financial report. (iv) Revenue and other income policy prior to 1 July 2019 Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. Rendering of services Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. Reciprocal grants Grants received on the condition that specified services should be delivered or conditions fulfilled are considered reciprocal. Such grants are initially recognised as a liability and revenue recognised as services are performed or conditions fulfilled. Non-reciprocal grants Where a grant is received where there is no performance obligation or return obligation, revenue is recognised when the grant is received or receivable.

16

Tennis New South Wales Limited Notes to the financial statements 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (i) Leases The Company has applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under AASB 117 and AASB Interpretation 4.

Policy applicable from 1 July 2019 At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company uses the definition of a lease in AASB 16. This policy is applied to contracts entered into, on or after 1 July 2019.

(i) As a lessee Initial recognition and measurement At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative standalone prices. However, for the leases of property the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right- of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:  fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payment;  variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;  amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and  the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities in loans and borrowings in the statement of financial position.

17

Tennis New South Wales Limited Notes to the financial statements

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) Leases (continued) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At inception or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

(ii) Practical expedient for COVID-19 rent concessions During the reporting period, the Company negotiated with its property lessors a rent relief and deferral arrangement applicable to 19.5% of the monthly rental, effective from 1 April 2020 until 30 September 2020. AASB 16 provides a practical expedient for rent concessions that meet specified criteria. The rent concession arrangements provided to the Company met the necessary criteria. As a consequence of applying the practical expedient to these concession, the Company recognised a gain of $23,179 in the profit or loss for the reporting period.

Policy applicable before 1 July 2019 (i) Operating lease payments This policy is applied to contracts entered into before 1 July 2019. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

(j) Finance income and costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

(k) Income tax The income of the Company is exempt from income tax, and accordingly, no provision has been made in the accounts for income tax payable.

(l) Goods and services tax Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

(m) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted There are no standards or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company. The Company has not adopted, and currently does not anticipate adopting any standards prior to their effective dates.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(n) Determination of fair values A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods.

 Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or

liability, either directly or indirectly

 Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

(o) Trade and other receivables For receivables with a remaining useful life of less than one year, the notional amount is deemed to reflect the fair

value. All other receivables are discounted to determine the fair value.

(p) Changes in significant accounting policies The Company has initially applied the below standards from 1 July 2019. A number of other new standards are also effective from 1 July 2019 but they do not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

AASB 16 Leases The Company has applied AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised in retained earnings at 1 July 2019. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for the year ended 30 June 2019 is not restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously reported under AASB 117 and related interpretations. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below. Additionally, the disclosure requirements in AASB 16 have not generally been applied to comparative information.

(i) Definition of a lease At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

(ii) As a lessee As a lessee, the Company leases a few assets mainly consisting of property and equipment. The Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Company. Under AASB 16, the Company recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for these leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option.

19

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Changes in significant accounting policies (continued) (p) (iii) Leases classified as operating under AASB 117 Previously, the Company classified property leases as operating leases under AASB 117. On transition, for these leases, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019.

The Company used a number of practical expedients when applying AASB 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB 117. In particular, the Company:

 did not recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application; and  did not recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases of low value assets.

The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(iv) Impact on financial statements On transition to AASB 16, the Company recognised right-of-use assets and liabilities in respect to all leases to which it was a lessee, that had commenced as at that date, and that did not meet the necessary criteria to be classified as short-term or low value leases. The impact on transition is summarised below.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019.

On transition to AASB 16 on 1 July 2019, the Company recognised right-of-use assets of $3,366,876 and lease liabilities of $3,366,876. There was no impact to opening retained earnings.

23. Contingent Liabilities

(a) Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre

Tennis NSW occupies Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre (SOPTC) under lease from Sydney Olympic Park Authority (SOPA) for a total term of 40 years, including extensions. The lease provides that Tennis NSW will hold the "Tennis NSW SOP Tennis Centre Sinking Fund" for and on behalf of SOPA, on terms and conditions set out in the lease. The lease provides that as and from year 11 of the lease term (year ending 30 June 2010) Tennis NSW will pay the annual "Base Contribution" of $50,000 to the SOP Sinking Fund, subject to Tennis NSW generating sufficient "Available Cash" to enable it to do so.

If in any financial year insufficient "Available Cash" is generated to enable the "Base Contribution" to be paid, any deficiency is accumulated as a "Carried Forward Contribution”. As a result of Tennis NSW performance this financial year, there is a contingent liability of $150,000 (2019: $100,000) being three years of “Carried Forward Contribution.”

On an ongoing basis, the lease provides for the payment of an "Annual Contribution" which is defined as meaning “for each financial year of Tennis NSW, the lesser of the Base Contribution plus the Carried Forward Contribution, and Available Cash". In this regard "Available Cash" means “for each financial year of Tennis NSW the surplus cash available from such financial year, being the net operating profit of Tennis NSW after tax, adjusted to exclude "defined" non-cash items". At the end of the 2019 financial year there was insufficient “Available Cash” to facilitate a transfer to the Sinking Fund Liability during 2020.

During the 2014 financial year, SOPA and Tennis NSW executed a Venue Maintenance Deed (VMD) which varied the SOPA lease with Tennis NSW, with the following effects:

a. The Grassroots & Facilities Reserve Fund (“GFRF”) assets are quarantined from the other assets of Tennis NSW and are not accessible to meet the Maintenance Obligations under the lease, and

b. The earnings of the Grassroots & Facilities Reserve Fund (“GFRF”) are excluded from the determination of “Available Cash" for any year from the date of the Deed.

c. If Tennis NSW generates no “Available cash”, or insufficient “Available Cash”, to meet the Maintenance Obligations, SOPA releases Tennis NSW from such obligations.

As a consequence of entering into the VMD, the Board of Tennis NSW has determined that Tennis NSW’s obligations under the lease in respect to the period subsequent to entering into the VMD should be identified as Contingent Liabilities of the company as they are contingent upon Tennis NSW generating sufficient "Available Cash", as defined, to meet the maintenance obligations referred to above.

24. Ken Rosewall Arena Grant

During 2019, the Company received $50,500,000 plus GST from Sydney Olympic Park Authority (SOPA) to be spent on redevelopment of the Ken Rosewall Arena (KRA) mainly for the construction of a light weight roof over the KRA and the competition courts. The grant received had attached conditions and was for a specific purpose, hence was initially recognised as income in advance at fair value. The grant revenue was recognised as the grant requirements were completed or conditions were met.

Construction was completed in the current year, with the Company spending $46,662,072 towards the project. This has been capitalised as leasehold improvements and corresponding revenue has been recognised in the profit or loss as KRA project revenue. The Company is entitled to capitalise the leasehold improvement as an asset as it has control of the asset under the lease agreement with SOPA. This improved asset will enable the Company to generate additional revenue and derive economic benefit from this asset in future. The leasehold improvement asset is being amortised over the remaining term of the lease.

A breakdown of how the KRA grant has been represented in the financial statements is detailed below.

Note 2020 2019 Receipts: KRA project revenue 46,862,072 4,080,427 Income received in advance - Grant income 17 - 46,419,573 - Interest income 17 - 170,814 GST payable 18 - 4,278,965

25. Tennis Australia Funding The Company, being an associate member of Tennis Australia Limited, receives grant funding from Tennis Australia Limited that forms an integral part of the funding required for the Company to achieve its short and long term objectives.

In the event that grant funding from Tennis Australia Limited should cease, or be reduced, it is the view of the officers that the Company would still be able to continue meeting the above objectives, albeit to a lesser extent.

26. Subsequent Events There have been no events subsequent to balance date, which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Tennis New South Wales Limited Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion We have audited the financial report of Tennis New South Wales Limited (the Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

i) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report’ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in Tennis New South Wales Limited’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information we are required to report that fact On the date of this report we have not received the other information to be included in the annual report. We will review this information when it is available.

30

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at The Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_files/ar4.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

RON HEINRICH AM

Metro Nominee Statement

I have been a tennis player all my life and heavily involved in tennis club administration for over 45 years initially on the Committee of Nabaron Tennis Club on the Northern Beaches until it folded because we were unable to renew its sublease and for the past 12 years on Killara Lawn Tennis Club Ltd most recently as President for 4 years and prior to that as Club Captain for 5 years and before that as Treasurer and also for a term as Club secretary. I remain as the licensee of Killara Lawn Tennis Club Ltd.

I am interested in rebuilding the membership of all Tennis Clubs so that they have a diverse membership and are family friendly which we have done with success at Killara Lawn Tennis Club over the past 12 years. We have developed a business model with our court operator which has worked well for us.

I believe only if club tennis is strong will the sport of tennis in NSW be strong.

I have served as the honorary solicitor for Tennis Northern Beaches for over 45 years and more recently for Northern Suburbs Tennis Association.

As a result of this experience I am deeply aware of issues facing clubs and their Associations including issues of governance, premise, courts as well as the financial challenges for clubs and court operators I have extensive experience in working and negotiating with local councils, state and federal governments as well as with some of Sydney's larger tennis coaching operators including Inspire Tennis

I have been a partner in a major city law firm for nearly 50 years, am a professional company director and have a deep experience in both the law and corporate governance. I also have extensive business interests and currently Chair Assetlink Holdings Pty Ltd, The Intersales Group and am on the Boards of Harper Bernays and Farmlink.

Key strategic priorities:

Rebuilding the membership of clubs. junior participation in club tennis, inter-district and badge tennis and stopping the loss of tennis courts and the development of more courts for tennis play.

WAYNE PASCOE

Metro Nominee Statement

Ambition Based on our rich participation and excellence, NSW should be the number 1 tennis State in Australia. It is therefore the obligation of the Tennis NSW board to build a strategy that ensures we achieve this goal. My experience and achievements in both tennis and business will add value to the Tennis NSW board and my commitment to our Members is to help us aggressively pursue this ambition for both metropolitan and country regions.

Background Tennis - I have always played comps at my local club, was lucky enough to play professionally from 1979-1982, reaching the last 16 of Wimbledon doubles in 1981 and still play Seniors tennis representing Australia 8 times in the last 15 years. To help grow the sport, I served on the Northern Suburbs Tennis Association committee from 2009-2010 and the Tennis NSW board from 2011-2018.

Business - for the last 21 years, I have owned a property advisory practice and understand the issues around running a small business. Prior to this, I was a senior executive in a multinational property group Colliers International, and for 4 years was managing director of Colliers Philippines reporting to the board in Hong Kong. Tennis NSW Board experience My previous time on the board from 2011-2018 was both rewarding and challenging. Rewarding, as we made many changes designed to help Tennis NSW members be more successful in attracting tennis players. Some of these changes were 1. Revising the constitution to provide a fairer voting system for country and metropolitan 2. Greater funding from Tennis Australia so we could provide improved support to our Members 3. Refocusing of the strategic plan to emphasise the 3 key drivers - Clubs, Coaches and Councils 4. After a 13 year absence, the re-introduction of the Tennis NSW awards night

Challenging because of the ramifications from the Royal Commission Report of 2017. This has now been resolved so all Tennis NSW Members, Board and staff can now work collaboratively together to make NSW the strongest tennis State in Australia. Next 3 years Key strategic priorities for the next 3 years 1. To make tennis more accessible for every person in NSW 2. To listen to our members and develop a new 3-4 year Strategic Plan based on the needs of all stakeholders 3. To ensure we have the right people, resources and focus to help our clubs, coaches and councils work together to increase the number of people playing and enjoying tennis 4. To develop strategies that recognise the differences between Metro and Country

Implementing change requires a board that works together. Passion for tennis is not enough to make things happen. My whole life has been focused on tennis as both a player and an administrator, and in combination with my business skills, these attributes will make a difference to the Tennis NSW board. RICHARD PRICE Metro Nominee Statement

I am passionate about the Sports and Recreation industry and making a genuine impact on people’s lives. I am currently a registered trainee tennis coach assisting Special Olympic participants on a weekly basis.

My desire to nominate as a Board member is to give back to Tennis a sport that has given me both friendships for life and employment opportunities. I am excited by the opportunity to support the Vision 2021 and purpose “To get more people playing tennis more often” While I am a tennis enthusiast, growing up playing the game competitively in Ireland at School and Inter- Club level and at University in Wales. I feel my broad international lens coupled with my previous and existing employment experience working across multiple sports and recreation products and peak bodies, provides Tennis NSW Board and the members with a well-rounded and diverse Board applicant.

I will add value through my deep experience of sports management coupled with my grass roots knowledge of not only operating 6 tennis facilities in Sydney but also by attending monthly Board meetings with the Chatswood Tennis Club Board (NSW 2018 Club of the Year).

In terms of the wider tennis community I have broad experience and understanding of both Regional and Metro Local Government Areas (LGA’s) including deep experience with Broken Hill, Singleton, Taree and numerous City LGA’s including the City of Sydney. Therefore, I have a thorough appreciation of the challenges facing regional recreation participation and will represent the whole of the NSW Tennis Community not only Sydney metro.

Finally, I feel with the economic landscape rapidly changing I am well placed as evidenced by my YMCA experience in navigating both financial and reputational crisis to assist the Board and CEO navigate what will be a very challenging period.

Key strategic priorities:

a. Maintain profitability as we continue to navigate uncertain social and economic times. b. Deepen relationships with Local Government Authorities with the view of protecting existing tennis facilities and also supporting business cases to develop new-facilities such as the Heffron Park Tennis Centre in Randwick City Council. c. Enhance coach and volunteer’s employment pathways and career development. d. Support technology and innovation solutions to deliver enhanced customer experiences. e. Advocate to improve the physical literacy of children to reduce the Australian childhood obesity epidemic (continue to Get More People Playing Tennis More Often). f. Develop Access and Inclusion pathways and participation ensuring tennis is a game for all.

GINETTE PORTEOUS

Metro Nominee Statement

Tennis has had a profound impact on my life. It has opened doors for me, provided new friendships, given me challenges and presented opportunities. I love tennis for the life-lessons it gives us, the health and fitness benefits it provides and the social capital it creates. It is the glue that binds a community together. And that is why I remain a dedicated and committed volunteer to the sport.

I care about the future of tennis - but I’m not a politician. I am a grassroots tennis person, a doer and a problem solver who wants to see our sport thrive. I want to see more being done for and by our sport. I am standing for the board because I want every member of the NSW tennis community to have their voice heard.

I see our sport from many different angles. I have played tennis all my life - from state-ranked junior through to current Badge competition player. I have trained and served as a court official and tournament director, organising JDSs, high performance junior leagues and UTR events. I am a qualified tennis coach and worked in the UK, France and USA.

At Kooroora, I serve as club captain, constantly exploring new opportunities and looking for ways to increase our member engagement. This sits alongside the realities of community club management: facility maintenance, lease renegotiations and legal compliance.

For the past 10 years, I have also been a tennis parent – living and breathing tournaments, ranking points, state selection squads and development pathways. It was a huge commitment financially, physically, and emotionally, but a journey I would repeat in a heartbeat. Finally, I have served in a consultancy capacity to our great sport, advising on competition formats and the build of national and state-wide competition pathways.

Outside of tennis, I worked in global infrastructure and structured finance for over 25 years as Director and Head, specialising in start-ups, new products, and emerging markets. I am a graduate and member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and hold a Master of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics. I have served as chair, director, and committee member for a variety of associations, industry working groups and companies and was previously on the TNSW board from 2013-2017.

There are three main focus areas I see critical to our long-term stability and success: 1. Growing and developing our sport focussing on retention as well as recruitment, 2. Best practise governance aligned with community needs and emerging opportunities, and 3. TNSW culture and strategy - a direct board responsibility.

If elected, I would bring to the board diversity and depth of experience and knowledge, both within and outside of tennis. I would bring marketing, legal, finance, strategy and governance skills together with a thorough understanding of grassroots tennis. I understand the junior development player pathway and the commitment needed to progress to the highest level in today’s world.

Respecting the past, I would work for our future. I would be honoured to have your support. E: [email protected] M: 0416 671 579

ROBERT NIENHUIS

Court Operator Nominee Statement

In 2017 a devastating fire destroyed our tennis Clubhouse in Terranora NSW and you may recall Lawrence Robertson brought this to your attention on television during the 2018 where he presented a cheque of $10,000 to me on behalf of the Tennis NSW Board to assist us in rebuilding our Clubhouse. The tennis club will be forever grateful for this act of generosity and kindness by the board members.

After having spent 12 years of my life experiencing the generosity of the public and the tennis community, building the Joan Nicoll Tennis Centre then having to spend another 2 years to rebuild the Clubhouse, I believe it is time to offer my lifetime experience involved with tennis along with my professional Project Director & Project Manager experience to the Board of Tennis NSW.

I have over 55 years' experience in playing tennis having started playing at the age of six and I consider myself a tennis tragic as I am still playing club level fixtures to this day. I enjoy both the game of tennis and the fellowship of the tennis community.

I have been the President of the Tennis Terranora Inc. club for the past 16 years whilst also being the President of the Tweed District Tennis Association for the past 12 of those 16 years. I was also the Country Director for the Upper NE Committee of Tennis NSW from 2004-2006 and I recently became the Chair of the NE Committee Tennis NSW.

For the past 25 years I have been the Managing Director of my own Project Director and Project Management Consultancy business specialising in the development of Government implementation plans, Government funding options and redevelopment of Hospitals and Medical Facilities. I believe I will bring a wealth of experience to the Board of Tennis NSW and the wider tennis Community as it is time for me to give back to all of Tennis NSW after you all generously rallied to rebuild our Clubhouse. My key strategic priorities are straight forward: • Listen, consult and collaborate with the Coaches/Operators of all Tennis venues in NSW. • Utilising my vast knowledge in the construction industry and dealing with government departments, help to revitalise, refresh and/or renew aging tennis facilities • Assist Court Operators with access to specialists that can write and submit grant applications tailored to meet your needs to improve your facilities. • Support Court Operators to get more people back on their tennis courts • Look at ways to improve the pathway for all tennis players to ensure that they can achieve the highest level of their ability • Look at ways to make tennis a career for more players via more partnerships and more sponsorship to provide more match play with more prize money. • Grass roots tennis in Australia is currently underfunded as a percentage of income compared to the USA, France and England and this imbalance needs to be addressed I would be honoured to be elected to the Tennis NSW Board to represent the Court Operators of NSW.

KIM WARWICK

Court Operator Nominee Statement

Three years ago, I nominated to join the TNSW Board for the following reasons: • Upgrade the competition pathway in Sydney, including a full review of the competition pathway in Australia. • Implement Universal Tennis Rating (UTR), a system similar to golf handicaps, so players of all skill levels and genders could play more often with a player of their ability making competitions enjoyable for all. Tennis Australia and UTR formed a partnership in 2019, allowing Australia's 2,500 clubs access to UTR. • Reinvigorate Sydney's Association model. By 2017 most clubs were not aligned within their areas. Sydney's association model needed overhauling, to help with the administration of competition tennis. Competition entries had diminished making for a less than ideal experience for players. TNSW commissioned Mike Mclaughlin Sports Consultancy to administrate a review and report back to management and the board. Mike consulted with the existing associations, Sydney's clubs and players, providing 15 recommendations. Completing further consultations throughout Sydney, TNSW concluded the best model was aligning with Sydney's local government areas. Landing on six regions, 13 tennis associations and a revamped Tennis Sydney Committee, TNSW now has the structure to make our game inviting once again. TNSW is conducting trials from term 4, 2020 through term 4, 2021. TNSW is confident beginning in 2022 that Tennis will have in place the best pathway for all players in Australia. Financed by fees paid to associations from players who enter competitions, the model is self-sustainable.

Other Improvements:

• Staffing levels at TNSW have increased rapidly over the last three years, mostly due to more funding from Tennis Australia. All of our staff are now highly qualified in their respective fields, enabling TNSW to provide professional services for all of our members.

• Communication. TNSW now has many forms of communication available to broadcast information. Our website has all Member information available through a cleaner design and fixed broken links. Apart from email, TNSW now uses our Facebook page, LinkedIn and text messaging for communications. During COVID, these channels were critical to our members obtaining the latest health and club guidelines. TNSW has been actively educating members on digital technologies, especially Book-a-Court and ways to broadcast club’s information to members immediately.

• Our financial position has remained stable during COVID, notwithstanding the challenges COVID has presented Tennis over the last six months. Due to constant communication with the Office of Sport, Tennis was able to offer a safe picture for Tennis, allowing clubs to continue operating through COVID albeit with minor restrictions.

If re-elected, my goals for the next three years are: • Complete the implementation of the tennis pathway and association model. • Make Country Tennis an attractive sport for everyone. • Capture more girls into Tennis. • Make our Sport attractive to all ethnicities. • Attract enthusiastic volunteers and who are proud to serve Tennis. • TNSW through the ATP Cup Legacy Fund, a partnership with the NSW Government, will spend $5M on ITF standard venues over the next three years, including club grants for minor upgrades. BRETT BEVAN Country Nominee Statement

I am the CEO of Charmhaven Tennis Centre, a role I have held since the 1June 2015. Since assuming the role of CEO, the center has grown 312% over 5 years. We have generated record income of $350,000 last financial year and achieved all this by focusing our efforts on grass roots tennis.

I want to bring this approach to the board and bring about much needed change, change that focuses on grass root tennis by looking at practical ways to engage with parts of the community that otherwise do not engage with us regularly and re- engage with those who have become so disillusioned they have stepped away.

We must increase diversity by increasing participation with aboriginal and multicultural populations including demographics not traditionally engaged with our sport. We must encourage younger generations to step forward and help lead our sport, I believe I can lead this generational change to build for the future.

The board must start embracing the whole of the state not just those who agree with it. We can start this by getting out of Homebush and into the regions, talking to our affiliates directly and hearing firsthand what is happening and by not being afraid of those with opposing ideas and suggestions.

MAKING HISTORY! It is no secret that I am a victim of Tennis's Institutional Sexual Abuse, having for 10 years of my childhood suffered at the hands of my offenders, this coupled with having also provided evidence at the royal commission into institutional abuse means I have a unique perspective into child protection and the need for much better leadership and policies surrounding it. If elected, I will be the first ever victim of Tennis's institutional sexual abuse to serve on the board. I believe this helps demonstrate that our sport has turned the page in respect to its historical record of hiding historical cases of sexual abuse and gives voice to all those victims who feel and continue to feel ignored.

VISION FOR THE FUTURE! In running for the board, I have a vision for our sport that includes increasing our social media engagement, a more comprehensive and better funded pathway for players, a vision the restores the trust of the board in the eyes of all our membership and greatly improves the communication from the board to our membership and finally I want to establish a direct line of communication between our membership and the board, so members can confidentially contact the board. I want to return to a grass roots approach that empowers each of our members to grow the sport within their own individual clubs, an approach that gives each member the tools and support necessary to achieve their goals and an approach where as a governing body we listen to what our members need and want instead of telling them what they need and want. If you have any questions about my vision or goals, please do contact me on 0422 395 884

Distance travelled, time taken, expenses incurred and access to top level coaching. These all need to be addressed more deeply. I firmly believe that the knowledge and skills I have gained and my proven commitment, dedication and love for over 36 years endows me with the credentials to be able to help guide Tennis NSW Country during these challenging times.

Leadership, Strategic Planning and Business Acumen

Tennis Wollongong, SCPSSA, and NSWCHS executive positions I have administered were all elected positions. This demonstrates my organizational and leadership attributes.

HELEN MAGILL

Country Nominee Statement

My involvement in tennis has been a lifelong journey of learning. I have always fine- tuned my performance and given utmost effort at whatever I choose to do. I've surrounded myself with talented people who continue to help me develop personally and professionally. 43 years ago I picked up a racquet and instantly loved the sport. I turned to coaching and believe I found my calling. 37years on, I continue to love what I do. President, Tournament Director, Publicity Officer and working with Local Government to build 'my' sport locally are just a few of my key volunteer roles. I added Referee to my portfolio along with Central West Regional affairs some 25 years ago and from there saw an opportunity to build a strong rapport with ABC Radio and Regional Media platforms to ensure tennis is on people’s minds at every opportunity in Country NSW.

I'm in the coalface of the tennis landscape through clubs, schools, tournaments and coaching and most importantly I'm prepared to listen.

There are transitioning generations involved in our game and also a revolving door of families who come into our sport but sadly leave shortly after and we need people who understand what drives these diverse groups. I want to lead, motivate and give everyone the opportunity to connect to tennis and enjoy everything our great game has to offer for a lifetime.

I am passionate about the growth and development of tennis and want it to be the No.1 sport in NSW. My 3 years on the Board has been a huge challenge but always mindful our job is to create the future, not mind the shop, and there's so much more to achieve. I am supporting a coach traineeship program especially in regional areas where we need young people and their families to recognize tennis coaching is a career choice. I'm passionately part of a team building strategies and frameworks for a diverse range of programs to encourage women and girls across a broad demographic to engage in, and connect to our sport. I am also an advocate to see a change to affiliation. Implementing a value proposition affiliation model which identifies a more customised and tailored experience, members will understand the value of the suite of products and services that are available through TNSW, and choose according to what best suits their needs.

Finally, I'm involved in the Tennis Country review where we want to better understand what Country affiliates and families need to make our sport their number one choice across regional NSW. I have sat in on each of the focus group meetings and appreciate this is a diverse and changing landscape which we must address with practical and flexible solutions, provide improved opportunities, better communication, and positive experiences for all stakeholders, whilst continuing to strengthen inter- regional relationships. What will I continue to bring to the table? To give real service, you must add something which can't be bought or measured with money, and that is honesty and integrity.

Special Resolution on Maximum Tenure for Directors

Proposed by Charmhaven Tennis Centre

SPECIAL RESOLUTION FORM

Members should use this form to submit Special Resolutions for consideration by the Board in advance of the AGM. If submitting more than one Special Resolution, please photocopy the form and use one form per Special Resolution.

Constitutional Clause Clause 2.1 – Term Clause 14.6 Term of Office.

Clause 2.1 – Term Recommended Change Term means the period of time for which a person is appointed or elected and serves as a Director, in (please use the exact wording accordance with this Constitution, without any interruption, required) re-election or re-appointment.

Clause 14.6 Term of Office. Subject to the provisions regarding casual vacancies set out in clause 14.7:

(a) The Term for each Elected Director will end upon the conclusion of the annual general meeting in the third year after their election (referred to in this clause 14.6 as a 3-Year Term), unless they resign or are removed earlier. At the end of each 3-Year Term, an Elected Director must retire and will be eligible for re-election, subject to the provisions regarding maximum tenure set out in clause 14.6(c) below.

(b) Appointed Directors shall hold office for a Term determined by the Board up to a maximum of 3 years. At the end of each Term, an Appointed Director must retire and will be eligible for reappointment by the Board, subject to the provisions regarding maximum tenure set out in clause 14.6(d) below. (c) A person is not eligible for election or re-election as an Elected Director if such election or re-election

(i) would result in that person serving more than three 3-Year Terms as a Director in any 12-year period. By way of example only, an Elected Director who is first elected at the annual general meeting in 2017 and is subsequently re-elected at the 2020 and 2023 annual general meetings, would not be eligible for re-election at the annual general meeting in 2026 as this would result in that person serving more than three 3-Year Terms in a 12-year period; or

2

(ii) in the case of a person who has previously served as a Director for one or more Terms which were shorter than 3-Year Terms (including during any period when Elected Directors were required under the Constitution to serve 2-Year Terms), if such election or re-election would result in that person serving as a Director for more than the equivalent of three 3-Year Terms in any 12-year period. As three 3-Year Terms equates to approximately 9 years of service, the equivalent of three 3 Year Terms is to be taken as any period of service involving multiple Terms which in aggregate equates to approximately 9 years. By way of example only, a person who is first elected for a 2-Year Term at the annual general meeting in 2013 and is subsequently re-elected for two further 2-Year Terms at the 2015 and 2017 annual general meetings and for a 3-Year Term at the 2019 annual general meeting, would not be eligible for re-election at the annual general meeting in 2022 as this would result in that person serving as a Director for more than the equivalent of three 3 Year Terms in a 12-year period.

(d) An Appointed Director is not eligible for reappointment if such reappointment would result in that Appointed Director serving as a Director for more than 9 years in any 12-year period. By way of example only, an Appointed Director who was first appointed by the Board for a 2-year Term on 1 July 2017, and is subsequently reappointed for further 2-year Terms on 1 July in 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2025, would not be eligible for reappointment for a 2-year Term on 1 July 2025 as this would result in that Appointed Director serving more than 9 years in a 12-year period).

(e) When determining the maximum tenure for any Director who is first appointed as a Director to fill a casual vacancy in an Elected Director position in accordance with clause 14.7, any service of more than 18 months will be counted as a Term and any service equal to or less than 18 months will not be counted as a Term. By way of example only if a Director is appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy on 1 January 2021 and their first Term ends at the annual general meeting in 2021 (when the Term of the vacating Director would have ended), such a Term would be less than 18 months and would not therefore be counted as a Term for the purposes of determining maximum tenure.

3 Rational Clause 2.1 – Term At present there is nothing contained with the TENNIS NSW constitution which defines what a “Term” is.

This proposal insets a definition of what a term means and is an essentially element of the proposed changes to 14.6.

Constitutions should limit where possible ambiguously terminology or terminology open to interpretation of “FILLING IN THE GAP”

It is essentially to good governance principles to have a clear definition of what a term is

The proposed definition is clear, plain, and precise

Clause 14.6 Term of Office. At present the Tennis NSW Constitution allows for directors to serve up to 9 years, broken down into Three, 3 Year terms. Once a director has reached their 9th year, a director is then permitted to be re-elected each year thereafter with no limit on tenure provide a director is elected yearly as opposed to every 3 years.

At present these clauses are inconsistent with best governance practice and undermines the intention of other clauses within the TENNIS NSW constitution whereby directors are elected on rotational 3-year terms.

This proposed change if adopted would mandate that a director may only serve up to a maximum of 9 years broken down into three, 3 year terms and then would become ineligible to serve on the board until a full 3 years has transpired since they last served before again becoming eligible.

A further result of these proposed changes installs a maximum tenure on appointed directors. Presently an appointed director can serve an unlimited number of years on the board, provided they are appointed to 3-year terms, but may be reappointed for a indefinite number of terms

The present results mean a director that is unelected but appointed may serve longer on the board then a director elected by the members. This is wholly inconsistent with basic governance norms whereby every director is treated equal.

Therefor the proposed change if adopted would result in both elected and appointed directors having the same maximum tenure limit and results in each director being treated equally.

Special Resolution on Casual Vacancy Provisions

Proposed by Charmhaven Tennis Centre

SPECIAL RESOLUTION FORM

Members should use this form to submit Special Resolutions for consideration by the Board in advance of the AGM. If submitting more than one Special Resolution, please photocopy the form and use one form per Special Resolution.

Constitutional Clause 14.7 Appointment to fill casual vacancy in an Elected Director position

Recommended Change (a) The Board may at any time appoint any person to be a Director to fill a casual vacancy in an Elected (please use the exact wording Director position. required) (b) The Board may expressly resolve not to fill a casual vacancy.

(c) Any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy will hold office only until the end of the Term of the vacating Director but will be eligible to stand for re- election.

The proposed changes are a relatively minor change in the sense it insets Rationale the wording “In an elected Director Position” at the end of 14.7 (a).

Presently the wording of the constitution is a) The Board may at any time appoint any person to be a Director to fill a casual vacancy.

There seems to be some concern about the present ambiguous wording as to whether this allows the board to appoint any person to fill a casual vacancy not only in an elected director position but also that of an incomplete term for an appointed director who may resign or otherwise fail to complete their appointed term.

This proposed change simply removes any possible misinterpretation or ambiguity from Clause 14.7 (a) and makes clear that a casual vacancy for an elected director only may be filled by the board and only for the remaining balance of that term.

This confusion seems to have come about when we as an organisation amended the constitution to introduce appointed directors but did not entirely amended all relevant sections of the constitution to limit ambiguity resulting from the introduction of appointed directors

Best practice dictates that where possible we should limit ambiguously terminology or sections and clauses open to differential interpretations, which results in potential confusion. This proposed change is simple and designed to eliminate the potential for confusion and misinterpretation

ANNEX 7

Deadline for Director Nominations

Proposed by Tennis NSW Board

Constitutional Clause Clause 14.5 (a) (Nomination of Directors)

Recommended Change "Subject to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and this Constitution, a person (shown in mark-up) will be eligible for nomination as an Elected Director provided that a written nomination signed by two Members, together with the person's consent in writing to their appointment, is received by the Secretary at least 4560 days prior to the date fixed for the holding of the annual general meeting."

Rationale Clause 14.5 (Nomination of Directors) of the Constitution currently states that a person who wishes to nominate for a vacant director position must submit their written nomination to the TNSW Company Secretary at least 45 days prior to the date of the relevant AGM. In recent years (including this year), the Remuneration & Nominations Committee has requested nominations be submitted in advance of the constitutional deadline to allow sufficient time for a thorough evaluation and interview process of nominees, and time for both the Remuneration & Nominations Committee and the full Board to consider the outcomes of the process. As demands placed on boards increase, boards face a growing challenge to ensure they have directors with the experience and expertise the board needs to fulfil its mandate. In order to meet this growing challenge, and the organisational and constitutional reporting obligations of conducting the AGM, it is essential to ensure a well-defined, fair and transparent assessment process for board nominee selection and endorsement is conducted. Best practice governance guides identify that all director nominations close prior to interviews commencing. Based upon past experiences and in order to align to best practice methods the Board is proposing that the nomination close be extended from 45 to 60 days.

(i) if there is a vacancy in the position of President, the Board will appoint one of the Elected Directors to the position of President for a period to be determined by the Board not exceeding three years and at the end of that period they will be eligible for reappointment to the position of President by the Board (but subject to the other provisions of this Constitution); and

(ii) if there is a vacancy in the position of Vice President, the Board will appoint one of the Directors to the position of Vice President for a period to be determined by the Board not exceeding three years and at the end of that period they will be eligible for reappointment to the position of Vice President by the Board (but subject to the other provisions of this Constitution).

14.4 President and Vice President

(a) If either the President or Vice President cease to be a Director, he or she will immediately cease to hold office as President or a Vice President (as the case may be).

(b) The Board may remove the President from the role of President, or remove the Vice President from the role of Vice President, before the expiry of his or her term (as the case may be), however he or she may remain as a Director (subject to the other provisions of this Constitution).

(c) If the President resigns as President, he or she may remain as a Director (subject to the other provisions of this Constitution).

(d) If the Vice President resigns as Vice President, he or she may remain as a Director (subject to the other provisions of this Constitution).

19 (e) The Director appointed to the position of President shall within 14 days of such appointment retire from any position held as a Representative, employee or officer of the Company or a Member.

(f) If the Director appointed to the position of Vice President is an Elected Director, that Director shall within 14 days of such appointment retire from any position held as a Representative, employee or officer of the Company or a Member.

14.5 Nomination of Directors

(a) Subject to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and this Constitution, a person will be eligible for nomination as an Elected Director provided that a written nomination signed by two Members, together with the person's consent in writing to their appointment, is received by the Secretary at least 45 60 days prior to the date fixed for the holding of the annual general meeting.

(b) A person may only nominate for one category of Elected Director (as set out in clause 14.2(a) of this Constitution) at an annual general meeting.

14.6 Term of Office

Subject to the provisions regarding casual vacancies set out in clause 14.7:

(a) The Term for each Elected Director will end upon the conclusion of the annual general meeting in the third year after their election (referred to in this clause 14.6 as a 3-Year Term), unless they resign or are removed earlier. At the end of each 3-Year Term, an Elected Director must retire and will be eligible for re-election, subject to the provisions regarding maximum tenure set out in clause 14.6(c) below.

(b) Appointed Directors shall hold office for a Term determined by the Board up to a maximum of 3 years. At the end of each Term, an Appointed Director must retire and will be eligible for reappointment by the Board, subject to the provisions regarding maximum tenure set out in clause 14.6(d) below.

(c) A person is not eligible for election or re-election as an Elected Director:

i. if such election or re-election would result in that person serving more than three 3- Year Terms as a Director in any 12 year period. By way of example only, an Elected Director who is first elected at the annual general meeting in 2017 and is subsequently re-elected at the 2020 and 2023 annual general meetings, would not be eligible for re-election at the annual general meeting in 2026 as this would result in that person serving more than three 3-Year Terms in a 12 year period; or

ii. in the case of a person who has previously served as a Director for one or more Terms which were shorter than 3-Year Terms (including during any period when Elected Directors were required under the Constitution to serve 2-Year Terms), if such election or re-election would result in that person serving as a Director for more than the equivalent of three 3-Year Terms in any 12-year period. As three 3- Year Terms equates to approximately 9 years of service, the equivalent of three 3 Year Terms is to be taken as any period of service involving multiple Terms which in aggregate equates to approximately 9 years. By way of example only, a person who is first elected for a 2-Year Term at the annual general meeting in 2013 and is subsequently re-elected for two further 2-Year Terms at the 2015 and 2017 annual general meetings and for a 3-Year Term at the 2019 annual general meeting, would not be eligible for re-election at the annual general meeting in 2022 as this would

docs 2043800v17 CEC

20 result in that person serving as a Director for more than the equivalent of three 3 Year Terms in a 12 year period.

(d) An Appointed Director is not eligible for reappointment if such reappointment would result in that Appointed Director serving as a Director for more than 9 years in any 12- year period. By way of example only, an Appointed Director who was first appointed by the Board for a 2-year Term on 1 July 2017, and is subsequently reappointed for further 2-year Terms on 1 July in 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2025, would not be eligible for reappointment for a 2-year Term on 1 July 2025 as this would result in that Appointed Director serving more than 9 years in a 12 year period.

(a)(e) When determining the maximum tenure for any Director who is first appointed as a Director to fill a casual vacancy in an Elected Director position in accordance with clause 14.7, any service of more than 18 months will be counted as a Term and any service equal to or less than 18 months will not be counted as a Term. By way of example only, if a Director is appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy on 1 January 2021 and their first Term ends at the annual general meeting in 2021 (when the Term of the vacating Director would have ended), such a Term would be less than 18 months and would not therefore be counted as a Term for the purposes of determining maximum tenure.

14.7 Appointment to fill casual vacancy

(a) The Board may at any time appoint any person to be a Director to fill a casual vacancy in an Elected Director position.

(b) The Board may expressly resolve not to fill a casual vacancy.

(c) Any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy will hold office only until the end of the term of the vacating Director but will be eligible to stand for re-election.

(a) ceases to be a Director by virtue of this Constitution;
