Annual Report 2025



A message from our President

It is my pleasure to present this year’s Annual Report for Wenty Leagues, reflecting on a year of continued progress, strong community engagement, and meaningful investment in the future of our Club.
Throughout the year, Wenty Leagues has remained focused on delivering value to our members while strengthening our role as a community-driven organisation. Our commitment to the Heart of Wenty continues to guide our approach, ensuring that everything we do is centred around connection, inclusion, and impact.
From a financial perspective, the Club delivered another strong result, achieving revenues of over $107 million and a profit after tax of $12.5 million, despite one less trading week compared to the prior year. This outcome reflects the ongoing strength of the Club and the continued loyalty of our members, while ensuring we remain well positioned to invest in our community, staff, and facilities into the future.
A key milestone this year was the completion of our Entertainment Hub redevelopment, culminating in the opening of Arbor. This project represents a significant investment in the longterm future of the Club, enhancing the overall member experience through improved spaces, accessibility, and amenity. These upgrades ensure Wenty Leagues remains a welcoming and contemporary destination for our members and guests.
In early 2026, the Club also experienced a leadership transition, with Glenn Kovacs concluding his tenure. On behalf of the Board, I
would like to thank Glenn for his contribution and leadership during this time. We are pleased that Stuart Jamieson has stepped into the role of Chief Executive Officer, providing continuity and strong leadership as the Club continues to progress its strategic priorities.
Equally important has been our continued commitment to community. Through a combination of staff participation, partnerships, events, and grassroots initiatives, the Club has supported a wide range of causes and organisations across the Cumberland region and beyond. From major fundraising efforts to local community appeals, these initiatives demonstrate the collective impact we can achieve together.
I would like to acknowledge the dedication of our Board of Directors, management team, and staff, whose ongoing efforts continue to drive the success of the Club. Their commitment ensures that Wenty Leagues remains a strong, sustainable, and forward-thinking organisation.
On behalf of the Board, I would also like to thank our members for their continued support and loyalty.
As we look ahead, we remain focused on building on this momentum, continuing to evolve, invest, and deliver for our members and community.
Warm regards,

Ian McCann | PRESIDENT

2025 Night at the Races Calcutta
Our annual Melbourne Cup Calcutta Dinner raises funds for a chosen charity partner. In 2025, we contributed $35,000 to Horse Aid, an Australian organisation that provides equine therapy to veterans, defence personnel, and first responders experiencing PTSD or other mental health challenges.
Bringing the Heart of Wenty to Life
At Wenty Leagues, our commitment to community is not defined by a single moment, but by the many ways we show up, give back, and connect. Through the Heart of Wenty, our team, members and partners come together to support those in need, creating meaningful impact across our community and beyond.
Throughout the year, this commitment was brought to life through three key focus areas: active participation, community connection and events, and giving back together.


Active Participation
Our team stepped beyond the Club walls to take part in hands-on initiatives that support important causes. Whether walking 28 kilometres in the Cancer Council’s Seven Bridges Walk or taking on the 12-hour Big Spin challenge for Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney, staff embraced these opportunities with energy and purpose.
These efforts not only strengthened team connection, but contributed to significant fundraising outcomes, supporting cancer research and providing vital care and accommodation for families with seriously ill children
These initiatives reflect the power of our community coming together to support those who need it most.

Community Connection & Events
Wenty Leagues plays an important role as a community hub, hosting events that bring people together while connecting them with essential services and support networks.
Our inaugural Seniors Wellness Fair provided access to health and wellbeing services, while Emergency Services Day created a space for families to engage with and recognise the work of local first responders.

These events reinforce our role as more than a venue, but rather a place where community connection, education and support can thrive.
Signature annual events also play an important role in bringing the community together in accessible and engaging ways.
Carols on Ringrose continues to be a highlight of the local calendar, delivering a festive evening of entertainment featuring Dorothy and Friends, live performances, and local dance groups. In 2025, the event brought the community together in celebration while raising $12,000 through gold coin entry and merchandise sales in support of Youth Off The Streets.
Similarly, Magpie Family Fun Day enhances the match-day experience during key home games, offering a full day of family entertainment including a petting zoo, rides, face painting, and live footy. These events not only drive strong community engagement but also support the Children’s Cancer Institute, reinforcing the Club’s commitment to supporting families both within and beyond the venue.

More
than fundraising, these moments create connection, care and a genuine sense of belonging.
Giving Back Together
Supporting our community also extends to the power of collective generosity. Through initiatives such as Snacktember and our Annual Winter Appeal, staff, members and guests came together to support vulnerable individuals and families across the Cumberland region.
From food donations for local school communities to essential winter items for those experiencing hardship, these contributions delivered not only practical support, but also dignity and care to those who need it most.
Across the Club, smaller moments of giving also created meaningful impact. From community bake stalls supporting national health causes, to rallying behind initiatives such as Beanies for Brain Cancer, these activations demonstrate how simple, shared experiences can drive awareness, spark conversation, and contribute to lifechanging research and support services.
Through every initiative, the Heart of Wenty continues to strengthen our connection to community, creating meaningful and lasting impact.
Food support for local families through Snacktember 60kg+ DONATED
150+ PROVIDED ITEMS
Winter essentials for vulnerable community members
Supporting cancer research, children’s health & community wellbeing initiatives $10K+ RAISED
Through Carols on Ringrose supporting Youth Off The Streets $12K RAISED

Stronger Together Through Partnership
Wenty Leagues’ community impact is strengthened through meaningful, long-standing partnerships with organisations that share our commitment to improving lives across the Cumberland region.
From grassroots community groups to large-scale charitable organisations, we are proud to support a diverse network of partners delivering essential services, driving inclusion, and creating positive change.
These partnerships go beyond financial contribution. Through funding, in-kind support, volunteering, and shared initiatives, we work collaboratively to deliver outcomes that are practical, sustainable, and connected to community need.
Supporting Essential Services & Community
Wellbeing
Wenty Leagues partners with organisations delivering critical support to individuals and families experiencing hardship, helping to improve access to essential services and reduce barriers to care.
Through our partnership with Good360 Australia, we supported the launch of the Cumberland Community Hub, providing a dignified, choicebased approach to accessing essential goods for vulnerable community members.

Similarly, our long-standing support of Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney ensures families with seriously ill children have access to accommodation, meals, and emotional support during challenging times. This partnership extends beyond funding, with staff volunteering and community initiatives contributing to meaningful outcomes year-round.
Wenty Leagues is also a proud foundation partner of Parramatta Mission, supporting initiatives such as A Place at the Table, which raises
awareness of homelessness and social inequality. Through financial and in-kind contributions, including food and event support, the Club helps deliver experiences that foster understanding, connection, and community conversation, while supporting vital frontline services.
Strong partnerships enable us to deliver meaningful, lasting impact where it is needed most.
Creating Inclusive Opportunities
We are committed to supporting programs that foster inclusion, participation, and opportunity for people of all abilities and backgrounds.
Through initiatives such as the MiniFit Schools Program, students with disability are provided access to tailored physical education, supporting confidence, coordination, and social development. Our partnership with NSW Wheelchair Rugby League further reinforces this commitment, supporting inclusive sport and creating opportunities for individuals of all abilities to participate, connect, and thrive.

Strengthening Community & Social Connection
Our partnerships also play a role in building stronger, more connected communities through early intervention, mentoring, and grassroots support.
Programs such as Top Blokes Mentoring provide young men with the tools to build resilience,

At a grassroots level, community groups like Karabi Knitting Group demonstrate the power of local action, contributing thousands of handmade items to support hospitals, families, and community organisations, including Little Wings.

Together with our partners, Wenty Leagues continues to strengthen community connections, support those in need, and create opportunities for individuals and families to thrive. Through collaboration, we are building a more inclusive, resilient and connected community.
Supporting our People & Community
At Wenty Leagues, our commitment to community begins with our people and extends far beyond our doors. Guided by the Heart of Wenty, we continue to invest in the wellbeing of our staff while actively supporting those in need across our local community.
Through meaningful initiatives, volunteering efforts, and ongoing partnerships, we are proud to create positive impact, strengthen connections, and foster a culture of care, compassion, and shared responsibility.


Supporting Our Staff
The wellbeing of our people is fundamental to the success of Wenty Leagues. We are committed to creating a supportive workplace where staff feel valued, cared for, and empowered to thrive.
Throughout the year, a range of initiatives focusing on both physical and mental wellbeing were delivered, reinforcing our commitment to proactive care. Staff were provided with convenient access to annual influenza vaccinations, helping protect both individuals and the broader workplace during the winter months.
Following the summer period, complimentary skin checks were also offered, promoting early detection and raising awareness around sun safety, an essential focus for Australians.

Supporting mental wellbeing remains equally important. Through initiatives such as R U OK? Day, staff were encouraged to check in with one another, helping foster a culture of connection, care, and open conversation across the organisation.
Recognising the contribution of our team is central to our culture. Employee Appreciation Day provided an opportunity to celebrate the dedication, professionalism, and teamwork demonstrated across all departments. From frontline service to behind-the-scenes operations, our people play a vital role in delivering exceptional experiences for our members and guests.
Volunteering
Volunteering is an important extension of the Heart of Wenty, with our team actively contributing their time, skills, and compassion to support those in need.
Building on our partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney, staff participated in the Meals from the Heart program, preparing and serving home-cooked meals to families with seriously ill children. This initiative provides comfort and connection during what can be an incredibly challenging time.

Our team also supported Parramatta Mission’s Meals Plus program, preparing and serving meals to individuals experiencing homelessness, financial hardship, and social isolation. These experiences create meaningful connections and reinforce the importance of empathy and community support.

Supporting young people is another key focus. Through volunteering at the Youth Off The Streets Netball Gala Day, staff helped deliver an inclusive and engaging event that brought students together through sport, teamwork, and positive connection.

Food security initiatives also remained a priority, with staff supporting Eat Up Australia by preparing more than 2,000 sandwiches for local school children, helping ensure students remain nourished and ready to learn.

Our partnership with SuperTee continued to bring moments of joy to children facing serious illness, with staff assisting in packing and delivering themed medical garments to Westmead Children’s Hospital. These small but meaningful gestures help provide comfort, confidence, and a sense of normalcy during difficult times.
Giving Back to the Community
Giving back is embedded in the everyday operations of Wenty Leagues, with both largescale contributions and small acts of generosity making a meaningful difference.
Throughout the year, funds raised through invenue initiatives, including coin donations and the Return and Earn recycling program, contributed $7,192 to Bear Cottage, part of the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network. As New South Wales’ only children’s hospice, Bear Cottage provides essential palliative care, respite, and support to children and their families.

Wenty Leagues also responded to broader community needs, supporting disaster recovery efforts following the New South Wales floods. In partnership with ClubsNSW and Disaster Relief Australia, the Club contributed $10,000 to assist with clean-up operations, home restoration, and essential support services for affected communities.
These contributions reflect the generosity of our members, staff, and leadership, demonstrating how everyday actions and support can create a lasting impact during times of both need and recovery.
Across our people, our partnerships, and our community, the Heart of Wenty continues to guide how we support, connect, and give back. Through shared effort and genuine care, we are proud to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around us.
Giving Back to Members
Providing meaningful value to our members remains a key focus at Wenty Leagues, with promotions designed to create memorable experiences, build excitement, and give back in impactful ways.
Throughout the year, these initiatives not only reward loyalty but also enhance the overall member experience, creating moments of anticipation, celebration, and connection within the Club.
Make Your Day
The Make Your Day promotion brought energy and excitement to the Club across a 10-week period, with a total of $150,000 awarded to members.
Each Monday night, $15,000 in prizes was up for grabs, creating an exciting atmosphere for members and guests alike.

Beyond the prizes, Make Your Day saw strong engagement within the Club, rewarding loyalty, and creating shared experiences that brought members together week after week.
Touchdown in the USA
Creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for members remains a priority. Through the Touchdown in the USA promotion, one lucky member won an unforgettable trip to attend the Super Bowl in the United States.
This exclusive prize offered a unique opportunity to experience one of the world’s most iconic sporting events, reinforcing Wenty Leagues’ commitment to delivering memorable and rewarding experiences for its members.


Through initiatives such as these, Wenty Leagues continues to recognise and reward its members, creating experiences that go beyond the everyday and strengthen connection to the Club.

Arbor Cafe & Bar: A New Chapter

The completion of Wenty Leagues’ Entertainment Hub redevelopment marks a significant milestone in the Club’s ongoing evolution, with the opening of Arbor, a new café space designed to bring members and guests together in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
As the final stage of a multi-phase transformation, Arbor represents more than a new offering, it also reflects a broader commitment to enhancing the overall member experience. Throughout the redevelopment, a series of carefully considered upgrades have been delivered across key areas of the Club, including expanded lounge spaces, enhancements to the stage and dancefloor, and improved accessibility to the Starlight Room. These improvements have been guided by a clear focus on comfort, connection, and functionality, ensuring the Club continues to meet the evolving needs of members and guests.
Arbor seamlessly integrates into this revitalised environment, offering a fresh café experience while retaining the familiar favourites members know and enjoy.

atmosphere, it strengthens Wenty Leagues’ ability to deliver relevant, contemporary experiences while staying true to our ‘home away from home’ philosophy.

We’ve modernised the space while keeping the spirit of Wenty alive. Arbor is a beautiful example of how we can evolve without losing the warmth & familiarity our members love.

Our Sporting Sub Club Community
Wenty Leagues’ Sub Clubs play an important role in strengthening connection, participation, and a strong sense of belonging within our community. Representing a diverse range of sporting and recreational interests, these groups provide members with opportunities to stay active, build friendships, and engage more deeply with the Club. Through regular competition, social interaction, and shared experiences, our Sub Clubs contribute to the culture that defines Wenty Leagues.

In 1980, the Club expanded, adding six permanent mats upstairs alongside facilities for darts, table tennis, and squash. Up until 1991, Wenty also hosted all State Championships, utilising the Table Tennis area.

With quality facilities, coaching and a strong social culture, the club continues to support both physical wellbeing and mental sharpness, while fostering lasting friendships. The momentum built throughout the year positions the club for continued growth and success.
such as League Tag and Tackle Ready provide a safe and structured introduction to the game, while inclusive initiatives like the Try Time team ensure opportunities for all members of the community to participate. The Sydney Shield program also supports player progression and builds depth, strengthening the pathway from junior to senior football.
2025 JUNIOR HIGHLIGHTS
• 32 teams competing across all age groups
• 12 teams reached finals, with 3 Premiership winners
• Inclusive programs supporting all abilities, including Try Time
A key strategic step forward was the transition of the senior program to Wentworthville District Rugby League, enabling greater investment into junior pathways and long-term player development. With strong leadership, committed volunteers and a clear focus on growth, the club is well positioned for continued success.
District Rugby League - Wenty Magpies
Wentworthville District Rugby League Football Club (Wenty Magpies) continues to provide strong development pathways across the Ron Massey Cup and Harvey Norman NSW Women’s Premiership, supporting players to progress and perform at higher levels.
2025 MAGPIE HIGHLIGHTS
• Ron Massey Cup Grand Finalists after an impressive finals run
• Joe Nohra named Ron Massey Cup Player of the Year
• Strong pathways across all programs
The Ron Massey Cup side delivered another outstanding campaign, finishing fourth in the regular season before mounting an impressive finals run. The team recorded consecutive suddendeath victories over Glebe, Mounties and RydeEastwood to secure a place in the Grand Final. Despite a determined effort, the side finished runners-up after a hard-fought match against St Marys. The season also saw individual recognition,
with Joe Nohra awarded Ron Massey Cup Player of the Year.
The Harvey Norman Women’s Premiership squad faced a rebuilding year following player departures, introducing a younger group while remaining competitive throughout the season. The commitment of players and staff, including those travelling long distances, was a standout feature of the year.
Across all programs, the club remains committed to developing talent and strengthening pathways into higher levels of rugby league. With experienced coaching staff and a clear focus on growth, the foundations remain strong for future success.
From development to the big stage, Wenty continues to build players ready for the next level.

Recognising Our Team
We thank all staff members marking 5+ years of service, your commitment plays a vital role in our continued success.

Notes to the financial statements
1 Corporate information
The financial statements of Wentworthville Leagues Club Limited (the “Club’’) for the 52 weeks ended 30 December 2025 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 15 April 2026. Wentworthville Leagues Club Limited is a company limited by guarantee incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The registered office and principal place of business of the Club is 50 Smith Street, Wentworthville, NSW 2145. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Club are described in the directors’ report. Information on other related party relationships of the Club is provided in Note 18.
2 Material accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards - Simplified Disclosures. The Club is a nonprofit entity for the purposes of preparing these financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern assumption and on a historical cost basis. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar ($).
Financial reporting period
The Club has always used a 52-week cycle for its reporting with every fifth year being a 53 weeks reporting period. The monthly reporting cycle is grouped by weeks and follows a 5, 4, 4 cycle resulting in uniform days in the relative months across consecutive years. Consequently, the close off day for annual reporting purposes changes every year by a day and two days every leap year, except for the fifth year. The actual month end date for 2025 is 30 December with a reporting period of 52 weeks and the actual close for 2024 is 31 December with a reporting period of 53 weeks. Accordingly, amounts presented in the financial statements for 2024 are not entirely comparable to the amounts presented for 2025.
(b) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that apply for the first time in 2025 do not materially impact the financial statements of the Club.
Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective
Certain Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Club for the 52 weeks ended 30 December 2025. The Club intends to adopt these new and amended standards, when they become effective.
(c) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Club generated an operating result during the 52 weeks ended 30 December 2025 of $12,522,028 (31 December 2024: $10,740,932) , and as at that date the Club ‘s total assets exceeded total liabilities by $198,564,748 (31 December 2024: $ 184,205,220) and the Club ‘s total current liabilities exceeded total current assets by $6,502,494 (31 December 2024: $4,447,972). During the period, the Club generated cash inflows of $26,327,936 (31 December 2024: $25,334,706) from operating activities. The Club also has access to a financing facility with its bank and, as at reporting date $5,000,000 (31 December 2024: $12,000,000) of this is yet to be drawn. The existing loan facility expires on (31 December 2024: 30 April 2026).
Based on the above, the directors consider that the Club will be able to continue to fulfil all obligations as and when they fall due for the foreseeable future, being at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and that the Club’s financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis.
Notes to the financial statements
(d) Current versus non-current classification
The Club presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is:
• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
• It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
• There is no right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The terms of the liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
The Club classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank, cash at call and cash floats.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, as defined above.
(f) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
i. Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Club’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Club has applied the practical expedient, the Club initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Club has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price under AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
The Club’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Club commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The Club’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade and other receivables.
Trade and other receivables
A receivable represents the Club’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognised at fair value. The Club holds trade and other receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the EIR method, less allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs).
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Club’s statement of financial position) when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Club has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Club has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Club has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Club has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Club continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Club also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Club has retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Club could be required to repay.
Impairment
The Club recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Club expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original EIR. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next -months (a -month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade and other receivables, the Club applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Club does not track changes in credit risk but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Club has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward- looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Notes to the financial statements
The Club considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are days past due. However, in certain cases, the Club may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Club is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Club. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
ii. Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as trade and other payables and interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Club’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
Subsequent measurement
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short-term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Club prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Club becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Club incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Club has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Club incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
iii. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(g) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Club uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps and forward commodity contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks, interest rate risks and commodity price risks, respectively. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
(h) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is calculated on a weighted-average cost basis, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(j) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment and capital work in progress are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment is required to be replaced at intervals, the Club depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major upgrade is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset areas follows:
Capital work in progress
Not depreciated
Freehold land & buildings (Club premises and residential buildings) 40 years
Leasehold improvements 11 years
Plant and equipment 5 to 10 years
Furniture, fixtures and fittings 5 to 10 years
Office machines 3 to 5 years
Motor vehicles 8 years
An item of property, plant and equipment t and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
(k) Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Club, which have indefinite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Poker machine entitlements that are acquired by the Club, which have infinite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Notes to the financial statements
(l) Leases
The Club assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. i. Club as a lessee
The Club applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Club recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
(i)
Right-of-use assets
The Club recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Freehold land and buildings 21 years
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in Note 2.m Impairment of nonfinancial assets.
(ii) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Club recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Club and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Club exercising the option to terminate. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Club uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
(m)
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Club assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Club estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s (CGU’s) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Clubs of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Club estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(n) Employee benefits liabilities
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognised for salaries and wages, annual leave and any other short term employee benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
Long term employee benefits
Liabilities recognised in respect of long service leave and any other long-term employee benefits that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Club in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future salary levels, historical employee turnover rates and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in periods during which services are rendered by employees.
(o) Provisions
General
Provisions are recognised when the Club has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Club expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
Linked poker machine jackpot
Poker machine link jackpots is the current balance of available jackpots that accumulate from turnover play on poker machines. These jackpots are returned to players by achieving the required combination for the link jackpot on the machine being played.
Member mortality commitment
Members who joined the club between 1970 and 1989 may have been eligible for a mortality payment. No external fund exists and all commitments are met out of current cash flow. The present value of the mortality commitment reflects management’s estimates based upon similar lapse rates and discount rates to prior year actuarial valuations.
Rewards bonus points
The best estimate of the commitment to members in relation to unredeemed bonus points. Earning rates, lapse rates and terms and conditions shall impact on future estimates.
Notes to the financial statements
(p) Revenue
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Club is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Club identifies the contract with a customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money, allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered, and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services.
Rendering of services
Revenue is recognised in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue that is recognised over a period of time is recognised when the Club satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Sale of goods
Revenues from the sale of goods, services and gaming are recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, received the service and the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts.
Members’ subscriptions
Members’ subscriptions received in advance are amounts received from members in respect of subscriptions for 2025, and subsequent years, and are shown in the statement of financial position as subscriptions in advance.
Rental income
Rental income is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.
Dividend and interest revenue
Dividend revenue is recognised on a receivable basis. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Club transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).
(q) Finance income
Interest income is recognised as interest accrues using the ElR method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the EIR, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(r) Finance costs
Finance costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Finance costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
(s) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. i. Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Club operates and generates taxable income.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The Club offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
iii. Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:
• When the GST incurred on a sale or purchase of assets or services is not payable to or recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the revenue or the expense item or as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset, as applicable
• When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as part of operating cash flows.
(t) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with changes in presentation of assets and liabilities but resulting in no impact to the over all profit for the period.
Notes to the financial statements
3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Club’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period, are described below. The Club based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Club. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Revaluation of residential properties - land
The Club carries its residential properties - land at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The fair value assessment of the residential properties-land was carried out as at 30 December 2025 by Howden Insurance Brokers (Australia) Pty Ltd (Certified practicing valuer no. 67391). The Club has elected to revalue only the land component associated with the residential properties and has recognised buildings under residential properties (buildings) category on a cost model.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs of disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Club is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the Club.

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 auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Indep endence 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Information other than the
financial
report and auditor’s report thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information is the directors’ report accompanying the financial report.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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 o r otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
A
Independent auditor’s report

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Club are responsible for the preparation of:
► The financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Simplified Disclosures and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and
► The consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001; and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
► The financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
► The consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of 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 relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the dir ectors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities 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 le vel 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
► Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis fo r our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
► Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
► Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
► Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the fin ancial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
► Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
