Andrew Moore Clubs Tasmania Project Manager
non-traditional activities such as mountain biking, equestrian and pony club, walking and the growth of personal gyms, Clubs Tasmania is the voice behind the changing landscape of the community club indus- try across our great state. Through the start of 2021, Clubs Tasmania was busy supporting some of the state’s community sports events. The annual running and bicycle carnivals, rowing regattas and the Bill Springer “Mad Dog’ In- ternational, provided opportunities for us to connect and support the broader community club industry.

Welcome to 2021, the year that community clubs will continue to rebound from the challenges of the COV- ID 19 pandemic with renewed optimism and a posi- tive mindset. As Clubs Tasmania moves into its third year, we thought it would be timely to reflect on our impact and how we are strengthening the community club industry. Since 2018 we have secured $24 million in Govern- ment funding for initiatives such as the Ticket to Play program, Levelling the Playing Field and Improving the Playing Field and COVID-19 support grants. We have provided timely support and advice through the 1300 125 827 free call number and through Zoom teleconferences, assisting club representatives to navi- gate a number of issues including grant opportunities and COVID 19 updates. Our digital platforms includ- ing a webpage, dedicated Facebook page and a week- ly radio segment ‘Tassie Time’ every Wednesday on RSN 927 also help keep our industry connected and up to date. We have formed valuable partnership agreements with Netball Tasmania, Tennis Tasmania, Little Athletics, Golf Australia –Tasmania and Equestrian Tasmania, which provides greater support to member clubs of these state sporting organisations. As part of the Tas- manian Hospitality Association, Clubs Tasmania is facilitating and leveraging relationships with over 60 corporate partners to assist more than 200 grassroots clubs to help them remain viable and sustainable. We will continue to develop partnerships with peak bod- ies and corporate partners that help us deliver on our commitment to strengthen the community club in- dustry. We have deliver more than 20 community club fo- rums to engage with local club representatives and find out more about how Clubs Tasmania can support them and assist with the issues they are facing. We look forward to visiting more regional areas to hold forums in the remaining local government regions by the end of 2021.
