Community benefit statements

Clubs with 51 or more gaming machines are required to submit a community benefit statement to OLGR as part of their annual reporting responsibilities.

The purpose of the community benefit statement is to formally identify the type and extent of contributions clubs make to charitable, sporting, recreational and other community initiatives. This shows some of the benefits the community derives from gaming.

Contribution amounts in cash and non-cash are identified in the table below. OLGR advises clubs to calculate non-cash benefits by applying standard market rates, purchase prices and administrative and operating expenses (i.e. in providing goods and services).

An 'affiliated entity' is recognised under the club's constitution or has similar objectives and a traditional relationship or arrangement with the club. Other entities are regarded as a 'non-affiliated'.

Note: As the community benefit statement is not subject to audit, OLGR relies on clubs to provide accurate details.
