VENUE’S PRIMARY MARKETING POSITION The Ballarat Leagues Club markets itself as a “one stop family entertainment venue,” amongst our members, to visitors of Ballarat, and predominately to member clubs of the Ballarat Football Netball League and their club members. The Ballarat Football League Social Club Inc. trades as the Ballarat Leagues Club, and it is through our close association with the Ballarat Football Netball League that we are able to attract the majority of our trade. By operating a high class bistro that seats approximately 140 patrons, and which incorporates a “Kids Korner” that includes 4 x-box’s, computer games, tv/video and soft area for the children our bistro attracts many families to its facilities. We promote our bistro to the community as “BLC- Food and Fun for the whole family, while Supporting the Local Community.” Our members bar provides a comfortable “sports bar” atmosphere, offering designated casual dining, pay tv, live sports and TAB facilities. Finally, our gaming room currently has 54 EGM’s and offers a welcoming environment for our patrons to enjoy the facilities. The Ballarat Leagues Club primarily markets to the following Members: 4400 social members on our Ballarat Leagues Club loyalty database through a variety of different membership categories. And importantly, via the BFNL Member Clubs (and their Members of the Ballarat Football League). These are summarised below: Note: The Ballarat Football Netball League is made up of not just the Ballarat Football League senior and junior competitions, but also the BFNL Youth Girls senior and junior competitions and obviously senior and junior Netball teams. This represents approximately 4455 registered footballers and netballers in central Victoria. Based on AFL Victoria averages for the total annual average revenue for Major League Club (Senior + Junior) the total amount of money generated by the Clubs under our “auspices” is approx $7 million. When the generally accepted economic multiplier effect of 4 is applied then BFNL footy & netball is the catalyst for circulating $28 million in the greater Ballarat region. The Ballarat Leagues Club plays an essential role in providing vital & critical funding to allow the clubs under the Ballarat Football Netball League "umbrella" to continue to operate. Ballarat Football & Netball League Inc.

This is best summarised by an overview of the BLC’s “cash contribution” and also further its’ “in kind” contribution for the most recent audited financial year of 2014/2015. In terms of cash contribution, the BLC pays the entirety of the Ballarat Football Netball League Finance Officer wages, with her hours equally split between the Ballarat Football Netball League & the Ballarat Leagues Club. As such, with the full wage being paid by the Ballarat Leagues Club, 50% of this wage is regarded as a “donation” to the Ballarat Football League. This totals over $35,000 In addition, the Ballarat Leagues Club made the following cash donation to the Ballarat Football Netball League in the 2014/15 financial year –$62,500 + GST The Ballarat Leagues Club made cash donations to Ballarat Football Netball League Clubs in the 2014/2015 financial year- $45,455 + GST The Ballarat Leagues Club made various other cash donations to a number of other community clubs and organisations (including the Ballarat Football Umpires Association) in the 2014/2015 financial year- $7117 + GST In terms of “In Kind” donations, in 2014/15 the BLC donated over $42,000 + GST worth of venue bistro vouchers and discounts to various clubs, seniors groups, schools, community organisations and our members. In addition to the above direct cash and voucher donations, the Ballarat Leagues Club has also provided discounted use of our venue the Ballarat Leagues Club as an “in kind” contribution to various organisations and community groups to a total value exceeding $5000. TOTAL VALUE OF CASH, VOUCHERS & IN KIND: in excess of $197,000 * Note: * This does not include all further additional items approved as community benefits and submitted annually in our CBS. Response to the Gaming Machine Arrangements Review The Ballarat Football League Social Club Inc. wishes to provide the following points in relation to the GMAR, and would ask you to consider the following: Community Clubs of Victoria Response The Ballarat Football League Social Club Inc. endorses the position of our industry association, Community Clubs Victoria, which has been developed with the overall welfare of Victoria’s not for profit clubs in mind. Gaming Operator beyond 2022 – GMAR General Statement Put simply, if our club were unable to operate gaming from 2022, we would not be able to continue to provide the services we currently do. The Ballarat Football League Social Club inc. relies heavily on the revenues from gaming. Although gaming is only one part of the overall offer at the Ballarat Leagues Club, the BFL Social Club would not be able to operate the Ballarat Leagues Club without gaming. We would not be able to pay the costs such as rent associated with running a venue of our size, or provide the facilities we presently offer. The Ballarat Leagues Club currently allows the BFL Social Club to financially support the Ballarat Football Netball League and its member clubs. It allows us to provide vouchers and support to many community groups and sporting clubs in the region.

Eight sets of twins have been born in the Ballan area within the past year, prompting the creation of a new playgroup in the town to cater for the demand. Moorabool Shire Council Mayor, and soon-to-be- grandfather, Paul Tatchell, said the twins created a need for a playgroup close to home - so the Ballan Multiples Playgroup was born! “Multiple births can give added challenges to families, and playgroups are a great way for parents to meet others and share their experiences,” he said. Cr. Tatchell appeared live on the breakfast TV program Sunrise on Thursday July 16, where he had co-hosts Samantha Armytage and Natalie Barr in fits of laughter over Ballan’s recent “bumper crop”. “There’s been a fair bit of humour around the town in terms of the cold weather and why we’re having all these twins, but ultimately everywhere we go we appear to be seeing double,” he said. “We’ve had unprecedented growth externally and now it appears we’re having it internally. I think a lot of people are appreciating that peri-urban regions provide great liveable space for families and children, a safe place to grow up and it creates a community atmosphere which is fantastic,” he said.

The local midfielder took out 34 votes in the CHFL Best and Fairest – marking the league’s second highest total in a single season. Campbell was nine votes clear of Rickey Ferraro from Hepburn, with Springbank’s Paul McMahon a further three behind. The 25-year-old, who was recruited from Ainslie this season, said he was pleasantly surprised to receive the honour. “If you had told me that I was going to win – let alone by that much – I probably would have told you where to go,” he said. “It’s just crazy, I knew I had a good year but not that good”. Campbell said he had enjoyed his first season at Ballan and looked forward to continuing to play in the league. “It’s a good standard of footy here but it’s also really laid back with such a community environment. Everyone is here for a bit of fun and to enjoy themselves and it’s good to see the level of involvement from the netballers”. Meanwhile, Gordon’s Luke Toohey and Ben Beasley from Springbank shared the Reserves Best and Fairest with 21 votes, while Newlyn’s Jesse Eastwell was three behind on 18. A comfortable 34 votes saw Ballan’s senior football Shaun Campbell take out the CHFL Best & Fairest Geoff Taylor medal from Ricky Ferraro (Hepburn) on 25 votes.
