We will ask you to introduce the people at your side of the table and then ask you to make an opening statement on Sport and Recreation, or an overview of the whole morning, if you want to. You might want to save your overview as Premier for this afternoon. Mr HODGMAN - I would be happy to proceed on that basis and start with Sport and Recreation after introducing Mr Greg Johannes, Secretary of the Department of Premier and Cabinet; Mr Scott Marston, Deputy Secretary; Mr Tim Bullard, Deputy Secretary of Policy; and Mr David Strong, Manager of Finance and Corporate Affairs. I will give a brief introduction in relation to Sport and Recreation to give you an understanding of the Government's objectives and the structures we have in place within the Estimates B 2 Thursday 11 June 2015 - Hodgman UNCORRECTED PROOF ISSUE department to achieve those objectives. Sport and Recreation in community engagement is very important. It is well-enjoyed by many Tasmanians and something we would like to see more frequently through greater participation and support for sport and recreation and community events by the Government. Government is supporting local government and community organisations in that endeavour. It is a portfolio I hold because I have a great personal interest in those activities and am keen to demonstrate leadership at a high level. It is a high priority for Government to engage in that area, not just to build healthier Tasmanians and healthier communities but also to engage more people actively in their communities, especially in remote and regional parts of Tasmania. We have set the objective for our state to be the healthiest one by 2025. That is certainly an ambitious target. There might be many targets and it is important for governments to set targets and seek to achieve them. I doubt there would be many who would argue with wanting that outcome to be achieved at the earliest opportunity. Mr DEAN - I am working hard on it, Premier. CHAIR - For yourself? Mr DEAN - Yes. No, very hard for the country, this state, the world. Mr HODGMAN - It needs us to work very closely with key stakeholders to develop well-planned, evidence-based infrastructure to support sporting and recreational activity. It also requires us to work closely with sporting organisations and clubs to assist them in building their capacity in their administrative affairs and responsibilities, and also to allow them to plan and demonstrate leadership, providing safe, inclusive and fair sporting environments. We are also determined to increase the level of participation and make sporting and recreational activity more inclusive across communities. Participation brings health benefits to the state and the opportunity for people to be more engaged in their communities. This is particularly important in the work done by Communities Sport Recreations, as it is now known, through Aboriginal sport and recreational programs. As the minister for that cohort of Tasmanians, it is important to see progress in that regard. We are determined to focus on that objective. With the merger of the Community Development Division of Premier and Cabinet and Sport and Recreation Tasmania, there will be many more opportunities to explore how sport and recreation can enhance the lives of all Tasmanians. This output also comprises the Tasmanian Institute of Sport, which supports a range of elite athletes, including Olympians and world champions. TIS supports 67 full scholarship holders, 15 emerging talent scholarship holders and 63 talent squad athletes. TIS has key performance indicators, including the number of athletes who achieve top eight or finals performances at benchmark international sporting events. In 2014-15, 17 TIS athletes have achieved finals or top-eight results or better at benchmark international sporting events. Four of the 17 athletes had multiple performances of top eight or better, with the overall total of finals and/or top-eight performances reaching 25. That is great to see success on that front. Estimates B 3 Thursday 11 June 2015 - Hodgman UNCORRECTED PROOF ISSUE Cycling, of course, is perhaps the most successful of these sports, with world championship performances by Amy Cure, Macey Stewart, Lauren Perry and Campbell Flakemore. It is a fantastic result for Tasmania. TIS is doing a great job with the support and resources it has, to provide young Tasmanians, and slightly older ones, with the opportunity to participate at the highest level. Before we move to questions, the budget papers note a decrease in the Budget for this output over the Forward Estimates. There are a number of factors for that, which I want to cover broadly. The conclusion of time-limited funding commitments, including $15 million for Blundstone Arena and the completion of a number of election commitments. Another reason is the consolidation of a number of community sport grant programs and sport and recreation grants programs into output 6.1. There were six voluntary redundancies, equivalent to three FTEs, and the transfer of 21.3 FTEs from this output to output 6.1, Community Sport and Recreation. This reflects the merger of the Community Development Division and Sport and Recreation Tasmania. This output now funds only staff of the Tasmanian Institute of Sport and the Silverdome. That is some background on why those figures have changed. CHAIR - Thank you, Premier. Mr FINCH - Bang goes my first question. It was quite baffling to see in the budget papers the figures of $28 million and $515 000 diminishing over the years, and go by. You talked about Blundstone Arena, where $15 million has gone. We might have a look at those figures and that diminution. How can we go, in the Forward Estimates, from nearly 9 to just over 5.5, then nearly 4. It seems that you are talking about this push for sport and recreation and the TIS, yet it does not seem to be supported by the figures here. Mr HODGMAN - If it is okay with you, we might work through each matter I identified. We will provide you with a little more information in context and also what impact, if at all, it will have on us achieving the objectives I outlined. First, the significant capital investment in Blundstone Arena was not only welcomed by those at Bellerive Oval, but was also important in allowing us to host Cricket World Cup matches. These were a great success, albeit in very difficult weather conditions. That stadium now hosts Australian Football League games as well. Hopefully more sports and entertainment activities will be held there in the future potentially because of that investment. That is a significant capital investment, one which was committed to by the former government, which I acknowledge, but one for which we wrote the cheque. [9.15 a.m.] There were a number of election commitments, the vast bulk of which have been completed or are near completion at many sporting grounds and facilities across the state. We have supported many organisations. Estimates B 4 Thursday 11 June 2015 - Hodgman UNCORRECTED PROOF ISSUE As an incoming government we were subject to some criticism for having so many election commitments. But when I see the benefit of those investments - a number of which are relatively modest and only go part way to delivering what the clubs are seeking - they are a very important infrastructure. They are increasing activity, and the safety and comfort of those who participate in sporting activities, and spectators. Those projects have also delivered benefits to local economies as infrastructure projects have come to fruition. They are almost all complete and we are working through them. That has a significant impact, needless to say, on the Budget. The consolidation of a number of community grants programs and sport and recreation grants programs, moving into output 6.1. Perhaps you can assist me with that - Mr JOHANNES - David Strong, manager of finance, can certainly speak about that, but broadly there was an opportunity in bringing together the Community Development Division, which ran grants programs, and Sport and Recreation Tasmania, which ran grants programs.

From 7.30 with a few games to keep the night entertaining! CATS OF 2014 Check out our website or facebook page www.neerimneerimsouthfc.vcfl.com.au or ‘Like’ on facebook: Neerim South Cats PRESIDENT’S REPORT Glenn Flowers A warm welcome to The Longwarry footy and netball club today. At half time in the seniors today I would like to welcome all of ours and Longwarry’s life members, committee and workers for afternoon tea. I would also like to welcome everyone to stay back and have a drink after the game. Last week against Poowong in atrocious conditions we weren't good enough to get over the line and a win against one of the top 3 sides on the way home is imperative to our chance of playing finals footy. The same can be said about the second's who really struggled for any cohesion last week and were totally outplayed by Poowong. The junior boys continue to impress with the U18's having great success so far. We have to pick ourselves up and be positive and really challenge the Crows today. The netballers will also be desperate for wins today to keep any hope alive of contending in the finals series. Our Cat Draw 2 weeks ago was a great success for the club and all who partaked in the evening. A big thank you goes out to the coordinator’s of this event in Bec Ladds, Nicole, Harry and Hummers who did a great job of bringing it all together and thanks also to Kim Fawcett who did a great job of selling the tickets in which only 4 were left over and Andy Smith who did the music on the night.

  • Seagulls on the Wing
    PART II Seagulls on the wing W. T. (Bill) WILLIAMS 1945-66 BRIAN LEWIS 1967-97 FOREWORD IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES an effort has been made to collate the records of the Sandy Bay Football Club from its inception, and renew acquaintances with all the great players who have worn the Club’s Blue and White Guernsey. Months of research have resulted in the compilation of this comprehensive record, and if perchance some name or names or facts have been omitted the writers offers their apologies. During the years of the Second World War and particularly 1942-43 seeds were sown for the introduction of district football in Hobart and sub- urbs. Many were sceptical of the success, but it was obvious that now was the time to implement the scheme if district football was to succeed. The big barrier was the breaking of old club ties, but with the suspension of League football during the war years and the retirement of most of the pre- war champions the powers that be decided in favour of the new scheme. In 1945 we saw four district Clubs provide the football namely Sandy Bay, North Hobart, New Town and Hobart. In 1947 Clarence and New Norfolk were admitted to the competition. The teams remained unchanged until 1986 when East and North Launceston were admitted. In 1987 the Burnie Hawks and the Devonport Blues were also admitted to form a Statewide League. The number of teams remained the same until the 1994 season when Launceston was admitted, thus creating a bye. No further change occurred until 1997 when all teams handed in their licenses and unfortu- nately the rest is history.
