The Year of the Vegan SARAH ROWE, BIRCH & WAITE 2019 has been declared “The Year of the Vegan”, with veganism one of the fastest growing food trends in the world.* Interest in the plant-based way of eating is increasing exponentially, with more than 2.25 million adult Australians now choosing a meat-free diet. Even the “carnivores” amongst us are increasingly choosing a “flexitarian” approach to eating (eating less meat and replacing it with vegetarian and vegan alternatives).
high-quality, vegan food options. Veganism is no longer about tofu steaks and mushroom risotto but about using vegetables to create meals that taste just as good, if not better, than their meat-based alternatives. With innovation abounding in the vegan market, Birch & Waite has developed a Vegan Mayonnaise virtually indistinguishable in taste from those made with whole egg. They have drawn on their 30 year experience in developing superior-quality mayonnaises to develop the rich and creamy flavour profile which has received extraordinary reviews from chefs across Australia. One thing is for sure, veganism is far from a fleeting fad and very much part of the mainstream. Check out this plant-based burger using Birch & Waite’s unbelievably believable Vegan Mayonnaise:
The latest research shows that more than any other diet trend, Australians are interested in learning about veganism. The trend is being driven by a number of factors, in particular with health, ethical and environmental concerns. Since the World Health Organisation warned of the potentially carcinogenic effects of consuming red and processed meats, consumers have been looking to plant-based diets for cleaner and healthier alternatives. On top of this, consumers are increasingly ethically-minded and concerned by the treatment of animals during food production, as well as concerned by the detrimental impacts that cattle-farming, amongst others, has on the environment. The rise in veganism has seen an explosion of creativity in the food industry as cafes, restaurants and clubs look to cater to the ever-increasing demand for delicious, Sources https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidebanis/2018/12/31/everything-is-ready-to-make2019-the-year-of-the-vegan-are-you/#1d30720657df https://www.delicious.com.au/food-files/news-articles/article/plant-power-delsun-182/suVukilr
What Clubs WA members need to know about the new proposed WA Work Health Safety Laws GALLAGHER, CLUBS WA PROUD PARTNERS The nature of licensed clubs is unique. Most registered clubs are community-owned and hugely dependent on volunteers who make a significant contribution by carrying out unpaid work. The introduction of an improved Work Health Safety Act for Western Australia sets out new health and safety duties to provide protections from hazards and risks in the workplace for volunteers. So what does this mean for Clubs WA members and management? There are many detailed changes in the model legislation, but the biggest change that will affect Clubs WA is the inclusion of volunteers who, as a group, will have the same protection as paid employees. Employers must ensure that volunteers are now given the same workplace health and safety instruction, training and supervision that employees receive. Next steps? While the Western Australian Government has not provided a timeline on introducing the new law, we know that once they are imposed, they will be with immediate effect. This means that you should be acting now to ensure your club is compliant. Gallagher’s Club Insurance specialist, Tania Olliver, advises businesses to review their procedures now to ensure a smooth transition once the laws to come in to play, as well as ensuring you have the right insurance coverage in place should you fail to comply. To assist clubs with this transition, Gallagher has a team of Workplace Risk specialists, led by Stephen Lewis. His team is working closely with Clubs WA to assist with the changes in legislation, and training that may need to become available. Our team are also available to individual clubs, to assist with providing holistic and effective workplace solutions.
What does harmonisation mean? It means that WA legislation is going to align itself with the work health and safety (WHS) legislation that has been adopted by most of the other states and which is based on the Harmonised model WHS Act. PROPOSED WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY LAW CHANGES: WHAT IT MEANS FOR VOLUNTEERS The proposed Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act together with the WHS regulations set up health and safety duties to provide protections from hazards and risks in the workplace for volunteers. The duties fall not only on the employer running a business and their officers, but also on individual workers. Based upon the WHS Act and Regulations in South Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania, a volunteer is a worker for the purposes of the WHS Act when volunteering for a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) i.e. an organisation that employs at least one worker. Looking ahead, volunteers as workers will also have duties to undertake and these include having a duty of care for their own health and safety as well as that of others. They must comply with any reasonable instruction and co-operate with a PCBU’s work health and safety policies and procedures. Feel free to contact us to discuss your insurance or risk management needs today.
ABOUT THE NEW PROPOSED WHS LAWS Western Australia is in the process of harmonising their work health and safety legislation.

Troy Stones on Fostering Success and a Positive Club Culture TARQUIN BATEMAN, WRITER - CLUBS WA race meeting we gather in the club rooms for trophy presentations and a chat to swap war stories of the days racing. We often refer to Karting as a family and that is how it feels. The affordability, inclusivity and family involvement are really why members join and stay with our club. How do the skills learned by participating in Clubs like yours prepare younger members for success later on in life?
The Tiger Kart Club, founded in 1958, has a current membership of over 240 licensed drivers and social members aged between 6 and 70 years old. The Club operates two international standard tracks across the Perth metropolitan area, and hosts competitions with racers from around the world.
Karting is one of the rare sports where children are 100% responsible for their actions on the race track. There is no coaching from the sidelines, they make decisions about whether or not they go for a passing move and they’re responsible for the outcome if they don’t pull it off. Our Club also teaches resilience as there’s not a first place for everyone - wins are earned. There is disappointment and hardship to overcome but also massive highs and elation at winning big events. The discipline, resilience, driving skills and life skills learned in our sport help our members in life, school, business – all facets really. As a leader within your Club, how do you recognise someone who has the potential to be great?
Formula 1’s Daniel Ricciardo, V8 Supercars racer Garth Tander and actor Heath Ledger are among some of the Club’s famous alumni.
You see so much talent come through our sport in particular and the pathway to motorsport success is a particularly tough one. Young drivers like Daniel Ricciardo or Garth Tander have something special about them, and you know it when you see it.
This month, we sat down with Tiger Kart Club committee member Troy Stones to talk about the Club’s culture, fostering potential and maintaining engagement with current and past members.
It’s often not only their on-track results that set them apart but the work they put in a way from the race track, along with the way they conduct themselves when the helmet is off.
What is the community and culture like at Tiger Kart Club?
Daniel visited the Club a few years back, and hosted a junior development program at our Cockburn facility. It was very private from the media, and gave the kids uninterrupted access to Daniel for this day. It was remarkable to have him donate his time to give back to the sport and club.
Our club is very friendly and welcoming; we have very long-standing members who have been involved for decades along with a steady stream of new members joining us every month. Karting is a uniquely inclusive sport in that females and males all race together in their respective age groups. While it is a very competitive sport, at the end of each 10
Garth Tander has also made appearances at Kart meetings from time to time when his schedule has allowed it.
How can you make sure your club meets the training and development needs of people who have great potential? A massive ongoing focus of our club is to foster the development of our members to reach their full potential. This actually isn’t limited to drivers – through our base of fantastic volunteers we are also running ongoing training programs for officials who run and organise Karting WA. We are running regular Stewards school, Technical Scrutineer schools and Clerk of Course training. Our officials travel across the state and country to officiate race meetings.
CLUBS WA PROUD MEMBERS
Some of our other successful members have used the skills they learnt at the Club to branch into business, engineering or even to work in professional race teams. We are extremely proud of our alumni, who demonstrate that dreams can come true and who continue to inspire the next generation of ambitious young racers.
Past members value their early days at Tiger Kart Club, and are happy to give back when they can. We have a life member program filled with people who have remained active and engaged with our club for decades. We draw on the experience of these members to help guide new members into the club and sport. As a club we are also very fortunate to have some strong partnerships with car racing teams like Arise Racing and Fastlane Racing who help create pathways to future motorsport progression for young WA karters. These programs are a big part of our club community and largely how we make sure our young members are getting the support they need to succeed. How does Tiger Kart Club engage with the wider community? Last year the Tiger Kart Club and a large number of its members were involved in the production of the Go Karts movie in association with screen Australia. It stars Richard Roxburgh, Frances O’Connor, Dan Wyllie and a host of local talent. Many of our young and senior members filled the cast of drivers in the movie. Our tracks are featured in filming and many of members went along to fill extras roles through production. As a club we also subscribe to the Act Belong Commit model and believe in equality and inclusion of all, we promote the core values of Respect, Trust, Inclusion and Equality. 11
Clubs WA – Community Consultation ROAD SAFETY COMMISSION The Road Safety Council would like to hear from Clubs WA members about whether they can envisage a Western Australia where no one is killed or seriously injured on the roads.
“The most progressive Australian states and countries, including the member countries of the European Union, have now set their sights on zero and set targets to reach zero by 2050,” said Mr Cameron.
Western Australia has embarked on a life-saving journey and Clubs WA members are invited to join the ride.
“Imagine zero serious trauma on our roads and tell us what you are prepared to do and accept in order for WA to pursue that same goal.”
The destination is a time where no one is killed or seriously injured on our roads.
The consultation paper provides information on how Western Australia can reduce road trauma beyond next year, including maintaining the status quo and two scenario examples that could result in a moderate or dramatic improvement in road trauma.
The Road Safety Council has prepared the Imagine Zero Consultation Paper which is designed to spark conversation among West Australians about the direction road safety will take beyond 2020. “Over the past ten years, Western Australia has recorded a 30% reduction in road trauma,” said Road Safety Council Chairman Iain Cameron. “However, it is little comfort to the people involved, their families, their friends and colleagues with lives changed forever. No one should accept road trauma.” The community consultation period provides all road users, drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists the opportunity to provide informed feedback. The consultation paper includes detailed information on: • WA’s road safety journey so far; • The current state of road safety in WA; • How we compare to other world leading jurisdictions; • Our vision for the future; and • Various scenarios based on a Safe System approach.
12
Feedback provided by Clubs WA members will assist the Road Safety Council in preparing the draft recommendations for the road safety strategy beyond 2020 for the WA government to consider. The community can access the consultation paper, online survey and register for a community and stakeholder forum on the Imagine Zero website: www.imaginezero.rsc.wa.gov.au

Melville Bowling Club on
Resilience, Change and Diversifying your Revenue Stream TARQUIN BATEMAN, WRITER - CLUBS WA For the past 62 years, Melville Bowling Club has been the heart and soul of the Melville community. Birthdays, funerals, weddings, windups and social events have all been hosted in the Club’s Tompkins Park facility, and the well-maintained bowling greens are a favourite of both national and international pennant bowls competitors. Melville Bowls Club President Tim Smith shares his strategies to keep the membership base engaged. His secret? Transparency, diverse revenue streams, community partners and a well-structured management plan. I met with Tim at the Melville Bowls Clubrooms around 3pm on a Tuesday. We sat at a table adjacent to the bar, where the club manager was cleaning wine glasses and making phone calls. Faded photographs in carefully hung frames graced the wall by the clubrooms. A notice board was prominently displayed, and outside on the green by the Swan a few pennants practiced their aim. As we spoke, members began to trickle in and socialise at the bar. “As you can see this is a very sustainable club. We have savings in the bank, we run at a monthly profit and on a part-time and full-time basis employ 7 people. We have adjunct clubs that are adjunct members; netball clubs and football clubs and scrabble clubs. All these people utilise our facility on a daily or weekly basis,” said Tim. “We just celebrated our 62nd birthday and had 600odd people come to our social event, and it’s amazing the community spirit that surrounds this place.” Tim pointed to the notice board, where letters about the relocation were pinned.
“The best way to keep your membership strong through a hard time is to let them know exactly what’s going on,” said Tim. “Any correspondence we get about the club we post on the noticeboard so that everyone can read it and everyone is informed. “And even though we are going through a hard time, we go ahead with all of our club events. We make sure we have at least one event every month to keep people coming back, because the social aspect is equally important as the sporting aspect to the success of our club,” Tim said. As we talked, the lovely bar manager brought us two glasses of cold water. Young men lounged in the corner with pints, a few of the elderly members sat around a table talking, and many people came up to greet Tim and I and contribute to the discussion. In opposing the move, the Club has had to spend a fair amount of money, Tim tells me. They have kept themselves financially stable by making best use of the facilities they possess. “Diversify your revenue streams, find ways to multipurpose the assets you have,” said Tim. “Clubs need to think bigger than just their key sport or function. You have to look at the resources and facilities you have available and utilise them as much as possible. “Having all your funding coming from members is unsustainable. As with anything the cost of running a club will go up over time, and with a single revenue the cost of participating in the club goes through the roof” In order to make a club cost competitive, Tim tells me, you have to think about doing things like adding adjunct clubs, creating social memberships, or hiring
“For our club, barefoot bowls events and green hire have been great revenue drivers,” Tim said “If you are structured, well presented and have a plan, you are more likely to be successful in getting grants, community sponsorships and new members.” As the Melville Bowling club had been around more than six decades, I asked Tim how the club had adapted to technological advances and social media. “Our Club has held computer literacy classes, where we had consultants come in and just explain the whole process of accessing email, websites, Facebook and how to engage online in general,” Tim said. “For the most part, the internet and social media is how we engage with our membership base. We can advertise our events, keep up to date and engage new people, doing a lot of media for free. Social media has been very good for club transparency actually, and keeping all links in the chain informed and connected, although there’s
still a few members who we have to put a stamp on an envelope for and wait a few weeks for a response,” Tim said. After our interview, Tim recommended I talk to a man by the name of Jimmy Stewart, who has been a Melville Bowling Club member for 30 years. Jimmy currently holds the position of Deputy Chair of Men’s Bowls, but has previously been the Club President. “I enjoy our club because we have managed to keep it a place where you can drop in for a roll up and a social drink, and find like-minded people to enjoy both with. I also enjoy pennant bowls where I can be competitive,” said Jimmy.

Clubs to provide details of Peppercorn Leases in their financial statements FRANCIS A JONES, DANIEL PAPAPHOTIS Peppercorn Leases are leases where the lease payments do not reflect the fair value of the property/land being leased and are very common in the Not-for-Profit sector. Example of the types of Clubs & Associations that may have peppercorn lease arrangements: • Golf clubs on crown land • Boat and Yachting clubs from local councils • Sporting clubs from local councils • Surf Lifesaving Clubs • Schools leasing crown land. Does your club have a peppercorn lease arrangement? If the answer is yes, board/committee members will likely be familiar with the changes to financial reporting. There have been some recent updates to simplify this process which we outline below. New Standard and application to Not-for-Profits (NFPs) - REQUIRED The AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities standard applies to transactions where the consideration to acquire an asset is significantly less than fair value essentially to enable the Club to further its objectives. The implementation of this new standard results in some changes to specific details included in Club’s financial statements. This new standard relates to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. NFPs have the option to recognise right-of-use assets at either cost OR fair value (as set out in the following sections). We expect that the majority of clubs will select the cost method (i.e. reporting similar to what they have previously) and Clubs WA would also recommend this approach. OPTION A) New standard: Recognition at cost There is no change required to the balance sheet and profit and loss. However, if the cost method is adopted there are additional disclosures required in the notes to the financial statements. Clubs are required to state the following in a note, for each peppercorn lease: 1. the entity’s dependence on leases that have significantly below-market terms and conditions principally to enable the entity to further its objectives; and 2. the nature and terms of the leases, including: a) the lease payments; b) the lease term; c) a description of the underlying assets; and d) restrictions on the use of the underlying assets specific to the entity.
OPTION B) New standard: Fair value recognition If Club’s elect to adopt the new fair value method under AASB 1058 to recognise and measure their Peppercorn Leases, the following will occur: 1. The right-of-use asset (property/land) will be recognised & measured at fair value under AASB13 2. A lease liability for the nominal peppercorn payments will be recognised under AASB 16 3. The difference between points 1 & 2 will be recognised immediately in the profit or loss as income. Should you wish to hear more about the application of the fair value method please contact Clubs WA auditor, Daniel Papaphotis. Other important changes: Upfront Fees (i.e. application or nomination fees) - REQUIRED Do you receive upfront fees? Under the changes to AASB 15 and AASB 16 now in force, revenue from fees will be recognised where any associated performance obligation to provide goods or services is satisfied, and not immediately upon receipt as usually occurs with previous standards. An example; new members for certain clubs (e.g. Golf Clubs) must pay an enrolment (nomination) fee on top of their annual fee in their first year of joining the club. In previous years, this enrolment fee would be classified as income the day it’s received. Under the new rules, the club now must: • Calculate the average duration of member’s years of service • Apportion the years of service by the total of the enrolment fee. In the Golf Club example, if members on average stay for 10 years, and the enrolment fee is $1,000, then the following journals are required: Year 1 Dr – Cash $1,000 Cr – Enrolment fee income $100 Cr – Contractual liability $900 Year 2 and every year until year 10 Dr – Contractual Liability $100 Cr – Enrolment fee income $100 For more clarification, please contact our auditor Daniel Papaphotis via email Daniel@faj.com.au or phone 9335 5211.
