Chairman’s Report 2025

Dear Members

As we reflect on the past year, I am filled with immense pride in what we have been able to achieve together at Bankstown Sports Club. Through the collective efforts of our staff, board members, volunteers, and you - our valued members, we have continued to build a club that thrives, adapts, and grows in response to the changing needs of our community.

In FY 2024-25, the Bankstown Sports Group contributed $3.7 million in financial and in-kind support to 38 sporting clubs and over 100 local community organisations, impacting the lives of thousands of people in the Canterbury-Bankstown region.

A highlight for me this year, and every year, has been our enduring partnerships with local organisations. From our bowlers to our valued relationships with Legacy, the Probus Club, and the Vietnam Veterans Association, each one is a cause close to my heart. These groups regularly utilise our community and event spaces and are an integral part of our club’s spirit. Just as meaningful is our long-standing partnership with Canterbury Bankstown Hospital, through which we provide scholarships and funding to nurses and midwives. Supporting these partnerships remains a proud and vital part of the club’s mission to give back to the community we serve.

It was a true privilege to attend the 100th birthday celebration of one of our cherished long-time members, Elizabeth Bull. Moments like these are a reminder that our members remain at the very heart of everything I do as Chairman of the Club.

It was fantastic to see our Service To Sport Medal and Awards night return to the Club in 2024,

celebrating the wonderful achievements of our sporting teams, and the key volunteers that keep the wheels of those clubs turning.

A key focus for the Board this year has been to enhance the Club experience for our members and guests. We have made substantial improvements to the facilities at Bankstown Sports including upgrades to our dining areas and new entertainment offerings, and changes to our associated venues.

As we look to the future, our mission remains unchanged, and our members continue to be at the heart of everything we do. As Bankstown continues to grow, we are committed to ensuring that our community and grassroots support grows and flourishes alongside it.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the entire team at the Bankstown Sports Group for their ongoing commitment to our organisation, and their support for our Mission – to make a difference. This includes our dedicated CEO Michael Clancy and his Executive and administration teams, our front-of-house and back-of-house staff, and my fellow Directors, who all work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that our Clubs run smoothly, and in the best interests of all stakeholders.

To our Members, thank you for your loyalty and continued support of our Clubs. You are the reason we strive to be better, to innovate, and to ensure that Bankstown Sports remains a place where people choose to spend their time. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Here’s to another year of growth, camaraderie, and success.

As we celebrate the milestones and achievements of the past 12 months, it is also important to pause and reflect on the Members we have sadly lost during the year. Each of them leaves behind more than just memories, they have made a lasting impact on the spirit and culture of our club.

To their families and loved ones, we offer our heartfelt sympathies.

- John Murray

“From humble beginnings, built on grit, determination, and a strong sense of community. We’ve come a long way, but that same spirit is still at our core.”

- John Murray

We extend our congratulations to Jim on this well-deserved honour. As a valued member of our Board and a proud life member of the Club, we remain deeply grateful for his insight, leadership, and enduring camaraderie.

“Jim’s

dedication, passion, and enthusiasm to improve the services and facilities in our community, have made a significant impact to the livelihoods of those who live, work and play sport in the Canterbury Bankstown region…

We are incredibly proud to have Jim as part of our board and to celebrate this remarkable achievement with him”.

Michael Clancy, CEO

Message from the CEO

Dear Members

2024–25 has been a landmark year for Bankstown Sports Group; one defined by growth, transformation, and a deepening of our commitment to the communities we serve.

Building on the strong momentum of the previous financial year, we’ve seen progress across all our venues. From major redevelopments to new dining experiences, our focus has remained clear: to elevate the member experience and futureproof our organisation.

At Bankstown Sports, the transformation of La Piazza has breathed new life into a beloved space, while the launch of Marrow & Co set within our restored train carriages has quickly become a standout dining destination. Alongside Xing Yan and Sushi Izu, these additions reflect our responsiveness to evolving member tastes and our ambition to lead in hospitality innovation.

We’ve entered the next phase of the Master Plan at Bankstown Golf Club, with upgrades to both the course and clubhouse informed by member feedback. At The Acres Club, the new outdoor recreation zone has been embraced by local families, and Mike’s Grill continues to thrive; now a fixture at both The Acres and Baulkham Hills Sports Club.

Baulkham Hills itself is undergoing a significant redevelopment, including an expansion of kitchen facilities and general uplift. At Birrong, renovations are now underway, marking the beginning of a new chapter for that venue.

We’ve also reimagined our events offering. Renovated rooms, refreshed names, and the launch of our new events brand Azalea Collective signal a bold step forward in how we host and celebrate. These changes are designed to meet the needs of today’s members while positioning us for tomorrow’s opportunities. As always, we will continue to look for ways to improve our services and amenities, ensuring they remain of the highest standard.

Bankstown is evolving rapidly, and the arrival of the metro will further cement its status as a key hub in Sydney’s west. As the area continues to grow, Bankstown is becoming a cornerstone of the region and we’re proud to be right at the heart of it all. Financially, our position remains strong. With membership exceeding 200,000 and FY24-25 revenue of $165M, we are well placed to continue reinvesting in our people, our venues, and our community. Our sustainability efforts remain central to our strategy, and we are committed to environmentally responsible practices across the Group.

As John noted in his Chairman’s Report, our support for sporting clubs and community organisations continues to grow, with $3.7 million in cash and in-kind contributions to over 100 local community groups. These partnerships are not just part of our legacy—they are part of our future.

I also want to acknowledge our new Chief Financial Officer, Chris Villani. Chris has made an immediate and positive impact, and it’s been a pleasure working alongside someone so capable, collaborative, and forward-thinking.

I’d like to sincerely thank our Members, who remain at the heart of all we do. To our dedicated staffyour passion and professionalism continue to drive our success, and I am incredibly grateful to have you on the team.

And finally to our Board thank you for your vision and for putting your trust in me to take our organisation into the future.

- Michael Clancy

Where Sport Meets Community

Riverwood Community Centre Basketball

During the January school holidays in 2025, Bankstown Sports Club supported a school holiday basketball tournament which was run by Riverwood Community Centre and Street Industries Street Sports.

The tournament encouraged young people between the ages of 12-16 years to join in a day of friendly competition.

Sikh Games

Mission Australia Fishing and BSC Fishing

During Youth Week 2025, Bankstown Sports was happy to support Mission Australia’s Youth week event “Get Reel on Country”.

This event encouraged young people to spend time outdoors by fishing, playing volleyball, and having a yarn with local Aboriginal Elders about the local area.

Bankstown Sports Fishing Club also jumped on board to lend a hand teaching the upcoming generation of fisher men and women.

The Sikh Games, established in 1988, have grown into a premier sporting and cultural event, attracting over 6,000 participants and 200,000 spectators from across Australia and the world.

This event rotates between states every six years, giving different regions a chance to host and celebrate Sikh sporting excellence.

The games were held across the Canterbury Bankstown LGA, and Bankstown Sports supported the event with a Sponsorship of $5,500.

Charity Golf Day For SuperTee

Bankstown Sports Club is proud to have raised almost $30,000 for the Fair Fight Foundation’s SuperTee Project, at our inaugural Charity Golf Day, at Bankstown Golf Club.

Held on Friday 29 March, we had 24 teams of four take part in the 4-Ball Ambrose style tournament, which was won by the team from Asahi Group - Carlton United Breweries.

This event was aimed at bringing our Club, our community partners, and our corporate stakeholders together, to support a common cause; raising funds for the SuperTee project, which provides custom-designed medical garments for children facing serious or long-term illness in hospital, to inspire strength, courage, and imagination, during their ongoing health battles.

Clubs & Community Awards

In June 2025, Bankstown Sports was incredibly proud to be recognised with the ClubsNSW Clubs & Community Award for Healthcare. The award acknowledged our partnership with Eat Up and the work we’ve done together to help make sure that every school child in our local area has lunch to eat each day.

Eat Up is the only organisation in Australia providing free school lunches on a national level. Every week, with the help of their partners and a hardworking team of volunteers, they prepare and deliver thousands of fresh sandwiches and snacks to schools across the country. Their mission is simple but powerful: to support the one in five Aussie kids who go to school hungry.

We officially launched our partnership with Eat Up in October 2024 and planned a campaign to coincide with National Sandwich Day on November 3. As part of the campaign, Bankstown Sports pledged to donate one dollar for every sandwich sold across all our venues throughout November. Thanks to the support of our members and guests, we sold two thousand sandwiches during the month, which resulted in a two thousand dollar donation to Eat Up.

In addition to that, Eat Up was also our chosen charity for Point-of-Sale donations between October and December. Our community once again came through, with an extra $1,288.35 raised through member donations. Every single dollar went directly to helping feed school children. But it wasn’t just about fundraising. In November, the team at Eat Up invited Bankstown Sports to take part in a Sandwich Making Challenge. On November 22, forty of our amazing staff volunteered their time to make one thousand sandwiches in just one hour.

“The money the club raised through the sandwich donations and the point-of-sale collections through Q4 2024, will go towards delivering a further 2,453 lunches to hungry kids. These lunches include a cheese toastie, Chobani yoghurt, Messy Monkey recess snacks, Heinz beans, and fresh fruit, when available.”

Amanda Howle Eat Up Partnerships Manager

We couldn’t be prouder to say that our team not only reached the goal, they did it in under thirty minutes. All of the sandwiches were delivered straight to schools to help students in need. To further support the partnership, Bankstown Sports also assisted Eat Up with a $16,474 grant through the 2023–24 ClubGRANTS program. This funding helped the organisation grow its reach and continue its life-changing work in our community.

This partnership has been one of the most rewarding and impactful initiatives we’ve been part of. It’s about more than sandwiches. It’s about giving kids the fuel they need to learn, play, and feel included.

We want to thank the team at Eat Up for everything they do, and for allowing us to be part of such an important mission.

We’re already looking forward to the next sandwich-making challenge.

Support for the floods on the Mid North Coast

In the wake of the devastating floods on the NSW Mid North Coast in May 2025, Bankstown Sports contributed $48,000 to Disaster Relief Australia, to support residents and businesses impacted by the disaster.

This funding will go towards clean up and recovery efforts, to help people get back on their feet.

Easter and Christmas Raffles for Unsung Heroes

In 2024, Bankstown Sports proudly hosted Easter and Christmas raffles in support of Fairfight’s SuperTee initiative. By donating all the raffle prizes, the Club ensured that every dollar raised went directly to SuperTee an effort that generated over $22,000.

For Easter 2025, the focus shifted to Lifeline, with the Club contributing $13,188 worth of chocolate eggs and raising an additional $8,135.05 to support Lifeline’s vital work in the community.

These raffles not only provided much-needed funds but also helped shine a spotlight on the important causes championed by these organisations.

Volunteering Highlights

Bankstown Sports has implemented a Staff Volunteering Policy, empowering employees to give back to the community through hands-on involvement in a range of initiatives. This program encourages staff to contribute their time and skills to support local causes and organisations.

Recent volunteering activities have included:

Assisting community events by providing photography and event support

Preparing sandwiches for school lunch programs

Assembling flatpack furniture for community housing projects

Packing essential kitchen starter kits for families in need

Selling raffle tickets to support local fundraising efforts

Supporting a sporting fun day for children living with disabilities

The program continues to grow, reflecting our commitment to social responsibility and meaningful community engagement.

“I always encourage our staff and members to get involved in volunteering; whether it’s at your local sports club or a community organisation. In my role, I’m constantly advocating for volunteer opportunities, so if there’s a cause you care about or something you think the club could support, please reach out.”

Michael Hanratty Sporting and Community Partnership Manager

Nurses & Midwives

Scholarships that Strengthen Care

In 2025, Bankstown Sports Club contributed $60,000 to fund scholarships for 25 nurses and midwives at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital, helping them deepen their skills across key clinical specialties. Designed to be completed within 12 months, these scholarships ensure the hospital continues to attract and retain highly skilled clinicians who are current with best practice, so patients receive the highest standard of care.

“Supporting the professional development of nurses and midwives strengthens our hospital today and our community for years to come.”

- Board of Directors

A Community of Gratitude

Our Board deeply values the nurses and midwives at our local hospital and the crucial role they play in bringing new life into the world and comforting families during some of life’s most important moments. It’s not just midwives—we acknowledge all nurses as the lifeblood of our hospitals and, in turn, of the community we serve.

65 Years of Support for Memorial Oval

For over six decades, Bankstown Sports Club has been a steadfast supporter of Memorial Oval, a cornerstone of our community.

During FY 2024/25, we contributed $160,000 to the Bankstown District Cricket Club for annual season expenses such as equipment, ground hire, uniforms, coaching, and player development. $55,000 of that contribution has gone towards the ongoing maintenance and refurbishment of Memorial Oval, which is in addition to our initial $1.5M contribution, in partnership with the state government.

Volunteer Development Program

In 2024-25, the BSC Sport and Community team continued to run the Volunteer Development Program for our associated sporting clubs, which is designed to educate and upskill our volunteer network in all areas of our sporting codes, to ensure best practice both on and off the field. It draws on expert input from Sport NSW, the Office of Sport, XERO Accounting Services, the Institute of Company Directors, national and state sporting organisations, and local government.

The program is centred around bi-monthly Sport Network Meetings held at our sporting clubs, which involve specialised training in key areas. These include sport administration such as finance management, risk management, marketing and communications, governance, operational efficiencies, diversity and inclusion, values and behaviours, grant writing and volunteer and stakeholder alignment.

Central Playing Fields Officially Open

A

New Chapter for Sport in the Hills Shire

The official opening of the new Box Hill Hockey Field in early 2025 marks a significant step forward for sport and community recreation in the Hills Shire, this facility delivers a world-class venue that supports both elite competition and grassroots participation.

Already hosting major events like the U18 NSW State Championships, the facility features two professional grade synthetic pitches, upgraded changerooms, LED lighting, modern dugouts, and enhanced spectator facilities. These improvements set a new standard for regional sport, positioning the Hills Shire as a destination for significant hockey and community events.

Baulkham Hills Sports Club was appointed as the anchor tenant through the Council’s Expression of Interest process. This appointment secured more than 1,350 hours of annual usage between February and October for the associated clubs Norwest Strikers and Hills Hockey

The Club is now finalising a proposed five-year licence agreement with Council, representing an investment exceeding $500,000 over the term.

Baulkham Hills Sports Club has also committed approximately $80,000 in additional capital works, including two new scoreboards and water infrastructure, to enhance the functionality and player experience at the facility.

In addition to this, Bankstown Sports Club has donated over $20,000 in pre-loved furniture, tables, chairs, fridges and canteen equipment, to support the two clubs in establishing themselves at the venue.

The Box Hill Hockey Field is more than a venue for sport; it is a community hub. Programs such as school clinics, coaching workshops, umpire development, and inclusive participation initiatives are already planned to maximise community engagement and encourage active lifestyles.

As the 2025 season progresses, the facility is demonstrating its value to players, families, and the broader community. With the right support and long-term planning, the Box Hill Hockey Field will continue to be a vital asset, fostering sport, wellbeing, and connection in the Hills Shire for many years to come.

Our Community Champions

Bankstown Sports Club Service to Sport Medal and Awards Night

On 19th November 2024, Bankstown Sports Club proudly hosted the annual Service to Sport Medal and Awards Night, a special evening dedicated to celebrating the volunteers who are the true backbone of our 37 affiliated sporting groups.

These remarkable individuals are the quiet heroes of our community. From coaching junior teams and running the canteen, to marking fields and washing jerseys, they give their time, energy, and heart to make sure young athletes can play the sports they love. Their work often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt in every kick, pass, and cheer across our fields and courts.

This night wasn’t just about recognising years of service, it was about celebrating the spirit of community that drives grassroots sport. These volunteers are more than helpers; they are mentors, role models, and the glue that holds our sporting groups together. Their dedication creates safe, inclusive, and inspiring spaces for kids to grow, compete, and belong.

We are incredibly proud to honour these champions of community sport. Their commitment continues to inspire us all, and we thank them for everything they do to keep the heart of Bankstown Sports beating strong. Their efforts remind us that sport is more than just competition it’s connection. It’s the early mornings, the shared wins and losses, and the friendships formed along the way.

Thank you to all our volunteers

2.1 Internal Venues

Introducing Marrow & Co.

In December 2024 Bankstown Sports unveiled Marrow & Co which has quickly established itself as a premier dining destination within Sydney’s southwest. Located beside the Greenfield Station Bistro and set within a series of meticulously restored vintage train carriages, the venue offers a unique blend of historic character and contemporary refinement.

At its core, Marrow & Co is a bold celebration of Australian beef. The menu features 13 carefully sourced cuts, including the dry-aged Riverine Tomahawk and premium Wagyu, each prepared with precision and respect for provenance. But to call Marrow & Co merely a steakhouse would be to overlook its broader ambition: to offer a dining experience that’s immersive, dynamic, and distinctly Australian.

Signature Moments in 2025

Throughout the year, Marrow & Co has drawn both loyal locals and curious newcomers with a curated calendar of events that extend well beyond the plate:

• We launched Marrow & Co with a special intimate dinner for VIP guests, which was a huge hit!

• Wagyu Week with Special Event Hosted by Big Sam Young. A showcase of rare and premium Wagyu selections that became one of the venue’s most popular features to date.

• Kalleske Wine Dinner. A refined five-course degustation paired with Barossa Valley wines.

Lady Banks Rooftop

Launch of Salsa Nights

In November 2024, Bankstown Sports launched Sunset Fiesta at Lady Banks Rooftop, marking the beginning of a bold new chapter for our rooftop venue. Every Thursday night, the space was transformed into a vibrant celebration of Latin culture, complete with salsa dancing, live entertainment, and a menu bursting with bold, authentic flavours. Set against the backdrop of 360-degree sunset views, Sunset Fiesta quickly became a signature experience for our members and guests.

We wanted to reinvigorate Lady Banks Rooftop and offer something fresh, exciting, and culturally rich. The energy of Sunset Fiesta was infectious. Hosted by Willie Sabor, each night featured Patron margaritas, tapas, and a live DJ spinning Latin beats that kept the dance floor alive. The rooftop came to life with colour, rhythm, and connection.

Looking ahead, Lady Banks Rooftop will continue to be a space for creativity and community. We’re already planning new activations to keep the energy going and the rooftop buzzing.

Ultrafade

Since opening in 2023, Ultrafade has become a favourite spot in the Club for anyone looking to level up their look. Rich and his talented team share one goal; helping you achieve healthy, stylish hair that turns heads. Whether you’re after a sharp fade, a bold new colour, or just a fresh cut, Ultrafade has quickly earned a reputation for incredible transformations.

San Churro

San Churro continued to thrive as a vibrant social hub, inspired by the charm and warmth of traditional Spanish chocolaterías. Earlier this year, the store underwent a shopfront enhancement to align with updated branding and improve its overall aesthetic.

The refreshed space has been warmly received by members and guests and remains a popular destination within the Club.

La Piazza

La Piazza continued to deliver an authentic Italian dining experience, delighting guests with traditional flavours and exceptional service. This year, we introduced a refreshed outdoor terrace for guests to enjoy during the summer months; we hope you have the chance to experience it soon.

Xing Yan

We were also proud to introduce Xing Yan to the Club, delivering an elevated dining experience that celebrates the richness of Cantonese culinary tradition. Offering refined, authentic dishes in a warm and inviting setting, Xing Yan has been exceptionally well received by both members and guests. Its combination of quality, accessibility, and atmosphere strengthens our commitment to diverse and culturally rich dining experiences.

ACE Award for entertainment excellence

In May 2025, Bankstown Sports was honoured with the Venue Award for Excellence and Commitment to Entertainment in the Large Venue category at the ACE Awards, which recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals and venues within the registered Club industry.

This award is fantastic recognition of our ongoing investment in delivering high-quality entertainment for our members and guests.

Bankstown Sports Bowls Club

In FY24–25, Bankstown Sports Bowls Club continued to strengthen its role as a vibrant hub for both competitive and social bowlers. The venue hosted a variety of events, including seasonal tournaments, community functions, and themed social activities such as trivia and poker nights, which were introduced to enhance member engagement and attract new audiences. The Club maintained its commitment to providing a welcoming environment for members and guests, supported by quality dining options at Club Grill by Rocky.

Bankstown Sports Bowls Club and Bankstown Sports Unite on Anzac Day

On Anzac Day 2025, Bankstown Sports Bowls Club held its annual fundraising event to raise funds for Legacy, an organisation that provides vital support to the families of deceased and injured veterans.

Through community engagement and member contributions, the Bowls Club raised $2,000. Recognising the significance of this effort, Bankstown Sports proudly contributed an additional $5,000, bringing the total donation to $7,000.

Jan has been part of our Club for more than 50 years and her contribution to the venue and the sport of golf has left an incredible mark on the game, and on the generations of players she’s helped to shape.

Jan joined the club on her 16th birthday and has been a fixture ever since. Over the years, she’s become known for her dedication, mentorship, and passion for junior development.

From 1996 to 2009, Jan led a Saturday afternoon junior girls’ program that helped launch the careers of some of NSW’s brightest golfing talents, including Sarah Oh, Justine Lee, and Allyce Watkinson.

The Acres Club

As part of our ongoing commitment to creating welcoming, family-friendly spaces, The Acres Club has introduced a newly designed, gated children’s play area. This safe and engaging space has been thoughtfully built to ensure the comfort, enjoyment, and security of our youngest guests, giving parents peace of mind while children play freely in a dedicated environment.

Located just steps away from the playground are our newly added outdoor basketball and handball courts. These areas feature high-

quality, durable surfaces and professionalgrade line markings, making them suitable for both casual and competitive play. Designed to encourage active lifestyles and social connection, the courts provide a vibrant hub for young people and families to gather, engage in sport, and enjoy time outdoors in a safe, wellmaintained setting.

The new additions, along with our beloved greens, continue to make The Acres Club a great place for families and the wider community to come together and enjoy.

Birrong Sports Club

For 14 years, The Italian Bistro has proudly operated out of Birrong Sports Club, serving thousands of meals from a small, hard-working kitchen that’s long punched above its weight. What began as a modest operation has grown into a thriving, family-run business led by Mario and his daughter Carla built on passion, community, and above all a commitment to quality.

At the heart of it all is Head Chef Genzil, who’s been with their team since day one. Together, they’ve turned The Italian Bistro into a muchloved part of the club, regularly serving more than 500 customers during peak times. The team, which started with just five staff, has grown to nearly 50 employees across two venues; many of whom are locals.

Throughout FY23–24, we worked closely with Carla, Mario and their team to plan and begin a long-overdue kitchen upgrade. We believe this will elevate the dining experience for years to come.

We’re proud to support The Italian Bistro. Carla, Mario, and their close-knit team have built something truly special at Birrong. We’re excited to see what’s next for them and look forward to watching the bistro continue to grow and thrive. Follow @theitalianbistro on Instagram for the latest updates and to add some mouthwatering Italian dishes to your feed!

Baulkham Hills Sports Club

Our Members

Over the last year, we’ve been working on making our club a central hub for members and non-members to connect with one another.

Every month, we facilitate several Probus group meetings, with attendance ranging from 40 to 90 participants per group.

In late 2024, we successfully expanded by incorporating additional groups, all while maintaining the smooth operation of existing ones, largely due to Kristy Buttigieg’s exemplary dedication.

Staff Milestones

At the end of 2023, we launched a small weekly Mahjong group and since then, our player base has grown to over 50 participants throughout the week, engaging in a variety of board and card games.

Sessions run on weekdays and weekends, with equipment provided to make the game accessible for beginners. The Club is also affiliated with the Pickleball Association of NSW, giving members the option to progress to competitive play.

Responsible Gaming 3.0

3.0 Responsible Gaming

The Bankstown Sports Group of venues is fully compliant with the new gaming legislation introduced in mid 2024, and early 2025.

This includes:

• Responsible Gambling Officers patrolling the gaming floor interacting and assisting patrons

• Introduction of Gaming Plans of Management

• Legislative adjustments to the location of, and access to our ATM’s

• Improvements to our customer welfare check processes

• Actively promoted GambleAware Week

In addition, our clubs have trained an extra 70 gaming staff in Advanced Responsible Gambling training, which provides valuable tools to support our members and guests.

Responsible gaming policy

Bankstown Sports takes the issue of responsible gaming very seriously and is continually looking for ways to ensure members and guests are safe, supported, and remain within their limits.

We have a wide range of responsible gaming practices across all six venues, including Multi-Venue Self-Exclusion, Voluntary, Pre-Commitment, access to counselling and support services, welfare check procedures and comprehensive staff training.

We have made changes to our gaming operation to comply with new legislation

We now have Responsible Gambling Officers on our gaming floor at all times to help support our members and guests

Providing more support to members and their families though newly available exclusion programs

Throughout the year, our Responsible Gambling Officers (RGOs) have remained a visible and vital presence. With at least three RGOs on the floor at all times - and more during busy periods- they’re always ready to offer support and guidance.

Leading the charge is our Senior Responsible Gambling Officer, Quenten Roberts, who continues to drive our program forward with a focus on care, compliance, and continuous improvement.

Gambleware Week 2024

Our commitment to responsible gambling goes beyond the gaming floor. During GambleAware Week from 21–27 October 2024, we ran a campaign focused on promoting safer gambling habits under the initiative “Safer Gambling. Are you onboard?”

The campaign encouraged behaviours that help reduce the risk of gambling harm, including:

• Setting limits and sticking to them

• Staying sober while gambling

• Balancing gambling with other activities

• Avoiding chasing losses

To better support our diverse community, we have also introduced multilingual signage in key areas, including restrooms, which are specifically aimed at reaching our Vietnamese-speaking patrons.

This ensures that important information and support resources are accessible to everyone. Through these efforts, we continue to prioritise the wellbeing of our patrons and promote responsible gambling practices across all our venues.

“This past year has been one of action, reflection, and growth. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, and even more committed to doing what’s right for our patrons, our staff, and our community.”

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2025

The consolidated financial report covers Bankstown District Sports Club Limited and its controlled entities ('the Group').

The Club is incorporated and domiciled in Australia as a Company limited by guarantee. In accordance with the Constitution of the Club, every member of the Club undertakes to contribute an amount to $4 per member in the event of the winding up of the Club during the time that he or she is a member or within one year thereafter. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Club are described in the directors’ report.

Each of the entities within the Group prepare their financial statements based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

1Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards - Simplified Disclosures and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events, and conditions to which they apply.

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and they have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

This financial report has been prepared under the Going Concern concept.

2Material Accounting Policy Information

(a)Basis for consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and performance of controlled entities from the date on which control is obtained until the date that control is lost. Intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cashflows relating to transactions between entities in the consolidated entity have been eliminated in full for the purpose of these financial statements.

As Bankstown District Sports Club Limited owns 100% of issued share capital of BDSC Agencies Pty Limited, BDSC Properties Pty Limited, Flinders Centre Properties Pty Ltd, Facility Services Pty Ltd, Eleon Pty Ltd, Athlitikos Pty Ltd, Clairemont Properties Pty Ltd, Doontkare Pty Ltd and Bandour Greenfield Pty Ltd, it is considered that Bankstown District Sports Club Limited has total control over the just mentioned entities.

(b)Income tax

In accordance with the concept of mutuality, income tax is liable on income derived from non-members and other parties. The charge for current income tax is based on the surplus for the year, adjusted for any non assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting, or taxable profit or loss.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2025

2Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)

(b)Income tax (continued)

Deferred tax liability is calculated at the tax rates they are expected to apply in the period when an asset is realised or a liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement, except where it relates to items that may be credited to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted against equity.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account, or which may be realised in the future, is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income tax legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(c)Revenue and other income

Trading revenue is recognised upon the delivery of goods and services to customers. Interest revenue is recognised at the earliest of receipt or being due and receivable. The profit and loss on disposal of assets is brought to account at the date an unconditional contract comes into being. Australian Accounting Standard AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers has been fully applied.

Rental income is brought to account

i.when it’s received or it is receivable, or

ii.where a rent-free period is involved, the benefit of the entire lease is taken into account and is apportioned over the lease period, or

iii.upfront receipt in relation to a signed lease is brought to account as income, over the lease period.

(d)Employee benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee provisions that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee provisions payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to em ployee’s wage increases and the probability that the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows attributable to employee provisions.

(e)Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2025

2Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)

(f)Property, plant and equipment

i.Property, Plant and Equipment are brought to account at cost, less where applicable, any accumulated depreciation. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows, which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal.

ii.Buildings are depreciated on a straight line basis, whereas all other depreciable assets are on a diminishing value basis over their estimated lives. Buildings on leasehold land are written off on the consideration of the remaining term of the lease, likelihood of the lease being renewed, and the present cash generation ability of the building.

iii. Land and buildings are revalued by a professional independent valuer every three years. That valuation is shown in note 8, forming part of the financial statements, but not the actual statement of financial position.

iv.In this year, as in previous years, the Company at 30 June 2025 has building works under construction. Advice is received annually from the Company’s quantity surveyors, Casey Burne as to completed works and that are still under construction at 30 June 2025. The quantity surveyor further advises as to completed works in respect of dividing costs between buildings, plant and equipment and repairs.

v.When real estate is purchased, the acquisition cost is divided between land and buildings. The land value is determined by a recent Valuer Generals Valuation and the balance of the purchase price is allocated to buildings. If a property is acquired for possible redevelopment in the near to medium term, then the acquisition cost is directed to Land only.

vi.The potential capital gains tax on the disposal of applicable land and buildings and any other assets subject to capital gain tax has not been taken into account

Depreciation

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are shown below:

40%

At the end of each annual reporting period, the depreciation method, useful life and residual value of each asset is reviewed. Any revisions are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are recognised in the profit and loss in the period in which they arise.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2025

2Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)

(g)Intangibles - Poker Machine Entitlements

Poker machine entitlements are recognised at cost. The Directors believe that the value shown in respect of poker machine entitlements is based on an active market at 30 June 2025, and accordingly the values are not impaired, and as such, entitlements have an indefinite life and amortisation need not be considered. Each poker machine licence is an effective cash generating unit.

(h)Impairment of assets

At each reporting date the Company reviews the carrying value of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable of the assets, being the higher of the assets fair value less costs to sell, and value in use, is compared to its carrying value.

Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which that asset belongs. The following impairment write offs were recorded:

The investment impairment was for ‘The Acre Restaurant Group’, which ceased operation in February 2023. The business had been severely impacted from Covid restri ctions over the past couple of years which was the main reason for its demise.

(i)Trade Creditors

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received whether or not billed to the Company. Trade accounts are normally settled within 30 days unless there are specific arrangements to the contrary.

(j)Bank Bill Facility

The bank bill facility in current liabilities comprises the current portion of the Company’s bank bill repayment within one year. The bank bill facility is repayable in minimum annually instalments of $8,000,000. The Company does have the right to make additional reductions in principal. The bill bears interest at the bank’s interest rate plus a margin. The Company is required to submit to the bank an annual capital budget for approval. The part of interest that relates post 30 June is included as a prepayment.

(k) Goods and services tax (GST)

Receivables and Payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or an item of the expense.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2025

2Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)

(l)Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

The Group has adopted all standards which became effective for the first time at 30 June 2025, the adoption of these standards has not caused any material adjustments to the reported financial position, performance or cash flow of the Group.

(m)Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no right at the end of the reporting period to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

3Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements incorporated in the Financial Report are based on historical and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.

Key estimates - Impairment

The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the organisation.

Key estimates - provisions

As described in the accounting policies, provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. These estimates are made taking into account a range of possible outcomes and will vary as further information is obtained.

Key

estimates - employee benefits provision

The liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.
