4. Chairman’s Report

On behalf of the Board and Executive of Rowing Queensland Inc, I would like to present to our

Members, stakeholders, sponsors and friends the 2013 Rowing Queensland Inc. Annual

Report.

The health of our association is in good shape. Indicators of our health include the performance

of our State Team at the Interstate regatta, the strong interest of members nominating for board

roles, increasing participation in Queensland regattas and the state-wide engagement in a

process to improve our governance.

Governance has been on the national agenda as the Australian Sports Commission responds

proactively to the challenges that face Australian Sport in the coming years. A new ‘investment’

strategy or funding model has been adopted that requires sports receiving federal support to

comply with a set of mandatory governance principles. In his letter which accompanied the

introduction of the Mandatory Governance Principles, ASC Chairman John Wylie emphasised

that the ASC treated the matter of sporting governance very seriously and would reduce by

twenty per cent the funding of any National Sporting Organisation that was not fully compliant

with the Mandatory Governance Principles by January 2014.

It is pleasing to report that the Queensland rowing community has been very supportive of good

governance and has cooperated to make important changes to our constitution. Our

relationship with government; local, state and federal, continues to be positive and as such all

levels of government have been generous with their financial support. Government sources of

funding have been complemented with commercial and user pays sources of funding.

Throughout the report you will find information on our successful athletes, our leading clubs and

our financial position. Our strong result comes, in no small part, due to the outstanding work of

our staff at Rowing Queensland and importantly our Chief Executive, Ross Symonds. We thank

you for your support and professionalism taking our great sport forward.

Mr Barnaby Eaton

5. Chief Executive Officer’s Report

2013 continued to build on the successes of past years and to strengthen our sport in providing

increased opportunities to participate throughout the state

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank the RQI Board, staff and our hard working volunteers and club

representatives from across Queensland for their ongoing efforts throughout 2013. The

volunteer’s dedication and commitment often goes well beyond what would normally be

expected.

The 2013 financial accounts have been audited in line with the Incorporations Act.

- Revenues from Ordinary Activities returned a $32,832 surplus in 2013.

- Income was $454,192 less than 2012 – The major item was the Rowing Pontoon

program which was completed in 2012. There was a corresponding decrease in

expense.

- Government grants slight increased, due to carry over of the Jobs Plan program.

- The Major event income decreased by $54,000 (no Pan Pac Games in 2013 (approx.

$12,000) and the new procedure for collection of seat fees for national championships

($35,000) now paid direct to RA.

- Regatta increased seat fees due to water rescue services (corresponding increase in

expense)

- Expenditure was $464,535 less than 2012. Employment was less due to Operations

Manager resigning in June and no replacement appointed.

- Administration slight increase in expenses. This corresponds with the increase in

income.

- State Team costs down due to no Youth Cup in reporting period.

Cash at bank is down by $157,943. This is due to new procedure of Queensland Government

grants agreement where they now pay in 2 separate instalments. First instalment for 2014 was

not received until early 2014. This varies from past years when the grant has been received in

the previous December.

Rowing in Queensland continues to be supported by the Queensland Academy of Sport,

Brisbane City Council, Rowing Australia, Lanier, Mitsubishi Motors, Designer Paintworks and

the Bundaberg Regional Council. Their combined support has allowed RQI to provide

continued and improved services to the members than would not otherwise be possible.

The support of the Queensland Government through the Department of National Parks,

Recreation, Sport & Racing should not be underestimated. Rowing Queensland is thankful for

the support from the Queensland Government through the Department and in particular

Minister Dickson and his staff.

The ongoing financial support from the Greater Public Schools Association and Brisbane

Schoolgirls Rowing Association’s towards the Education & Safety Program and the continued

improvements to the Brisbane River safety program is to be congratulated and RQI is grateful

and appreciative of their ongoing support.

RQ also wishes to thank the following Clubs and Schools who provided various racing boats for

the 2013 state teams throughout the year: UQBC, Brisbane & GPS, Toowong, Commercial,

Nudgee College, St Peters and Wintech.

10 | P a g e

RQI continues to meet regularly with Maritime Safety Queensland, Brisbane Ferries and the

Brisbane City Council to review and update the Brisbane River – Code of Conduct.

The Education & Safety Program with ongoing financial support of both the GPS and BSRA will

in 2014 continue looking at ways in which to increase the safety of all river users in order to

provide a safe and fun waterway for the entire rowing community to enjoy. The development

and rollout of an E-Learning portal will play an important role for all Brisbane River users, and

eventually to the entire rowing community state-wide.

The reporting of near misses and accidents along the Brisbane River has improved by clubs

and schools. This needs to continue so that Rowing Qld has appropriate data available to

improve the education program to all rowers who row on the Brisbane River.

7. Rowing Queensland Business Unit Reports

7.1 Development Report

Coach Development – In 2013 Rowing Queensland conducted fifteen Level 1 coaching

courses for 161 participants. Four Level 2 courses were held in 2013 with a total of 44

participants furthering their coaching knowledge base. The syllabus covers rowing technique,

training methodology, physiology, medical issues, rigging, professional issues and School-

aged, Masters and Adaptive Athletes has a large practical focus post course that will ensure

that coaches have increased their knowledge base upon completion. A Level 3 (Performance

Coach) syllabus was conducted in 2013, with six (6) Queensland coaches being accepted into

the course. Rowing Queensland would like to thank the following presenters for their

knowledge and assistance throughout 2013: Charlie Green, John McGuiness, Rob Fay, Ivan

Hooper, Hedda Brooks, Gary Merritt, Jenny Pemberton, Andrew Butler, Stephan Muhlenberg,

Dr Jeff Conn, Rod Silcox, Jirik Haselgrove, Peter Howard, Peter Toon, Neil Petersen, Angus

Vincent, Damian Mitchelmore and Paul Trevethan.

Water Safety – In 2013 Rowing Queensland commenced a series of water safety

presentations for schools with rowing programs. The On and Off Water Safety presentations

were presented to 1721 students across the 17 schools that have rowing programs. The

presentations were presented by the Rowing Queensland Safety and Education Officer, the

Safety & Compliance Manager from Brisbane Ferries, Craig Wilkins and James O’Connor from

Maratime Safety Queensland (MSQ).

Interregional Championships – The Queensland Schools Inter-Regional concept was

founded in 2006 as a method of developing junior rowing throughout Queensland using sculling

as the learning foundation. Its original goals where to:

- establish sculling programs in each region as the basis for common competition - identify talented school athletes and provide them with opportunities to showcase their

ability in a representative regatta

- educate students about the sport and their future opportunities - provide recognition and a pathway for talented school athletes to continue after school - help bridge the gap between school and club rowing ease the transition - encourage clubs to provide avenues for recruiting and inducting school leavers into

meaningful pathways in their clubs.

It is important to realise this it was not designed to produce elite crews, but rather to identify

talented athletes and to provide additional representative pathways for them to continue to

enjoy and achieve in our sport.

The Inter-Regional’s concept currently covers four races - an Under 16 and Open Male and

Female coxed quad, with an overall point score determining the champion region. The timing is

agreed to be the last four races of the first day of the Queensland Schools

Championships. Five regions contested the 2013 event with Brisbane’s depth of talent across

the board proving ultimately too strong, matching the 2013 Gold Coast team by winning three of

the four events.

The full point score:

Region Points

Brisbane 34 points

Gold Coast 28 points

Rockhampton 21 points

Townsville 21 Points

Bundaberg 20 points

15 | P a g e

Central Queensland Development Camp – The 2013 Central Queensland development camp

was once again held in Rockhampton on the Fitzroy River, following on from the Central QLD

Schools Championship Regatta. Approximately 40 young athletes from Bundaberg and

Rockhampton attended the two day camp, and received coaching from Brisbane based

coaches Peter Howard and John McGuiness.

Para Program – The para rowing program continued in 2013, primarily through the Dragon’s

Rowing Club which has been the most active club for para rowing in Queensland. Centenary

Rowing Club and Toowong Rowing Club also acquired a boat each for para athletes and have

started to develop para rowing programs throughout 2013. In October the Dragons Rowing

Club hosted a ‘Talent ID Day’ with the view of identifying athletes for the high performance

pathway. The day attracted approximately 10 athletes from various other para sports wanting to

become involved in the sport of rowing. Riverway Rowing Club in North Queensland held a

Soldier Recovery Program for injured soldiers. The program was a huge success, allowing the

participants to build up self-confidence, and also learning a new skill with fellow soldiers to aid

in their recovery from injury. Rowing Queensland also participated in the Sports Connect ‘Come

and try Day’ hosted by Sporting Wheelies. This was a good opportunity for individuals with a

disability to try various sports including rowing, and it was a good opportunity for Rowing

Queensland to market para rowing to the wider community. On the elite front, continuing his

brilliant form from 2012, Erik Horrie (Dragons Rowing Club) has continued to do Queensland

and Australia proud, by winning a gold medal at the 2013 World Rowing Championships at

Tangeum Lake, Chungju in South Korea. Since arriving on the world rowing stage in 2011, and

switching from Basketball, Erik has reached the pinnacle of Rowing and will hopefully continue

to perform at that level for the coming years.

Communication - During 2013 Rowing Queensland continued to enhance the communication

methods used by the office staff to Rowing Queensland’s affiliated members. These

communication strategies actioned the following:

Email News of Queensland Rowers performances at the National Championships (day by day).

Continuation of the fortnightly RQ E-Newsletter.

Continual updating of the RQ website

Implementation of Facebook and Twitter updates to the rowing community

Masters Interstate Team – The 2013 Queensland Masters Interstate Team competed at the

Australian Masters Championships in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. Queensland

picked up medals in every boat class which was exceptional, including Gold in the Men’s and

Women’s Eights, Silver in the Women’s Quad and Bronze in the Men’s Quad. Although there is

no official point score for the Masters interstate championships, Queensland was very strong

across the board and this is a testament to the strength of Masters rowing in our state. A big

thank you and well done to all the Masters Coaches, they included Terry Mulligan, Liz Ralston,

Katherine Phillips and Jenifer Gilbert and to the selectors (Chris Lyndon, Adrian Howard and

Alan Wallace).

7.2 Operations and Events

Mr Ben Groth

Rowing Queensland Regattas

Regatta entry numbers were strong again in 2013 with entries per event rising one crew across

the year when compared with 2013. The QLD Schools Championship was again the flagship

event in QLD, with a great event being held in Bundaberg with 860 athletes competing across

the Championships and saw the return of crews from Auckland, New Zealand. 2013 marked the

inaugural Brisbane River Winter Racing Series which saw 200 athletes complete five rounds of

match racing over the 6km Brisbane River course. Event honours went to Commercial,

Toowong (2) and University of Queensland Boat Club (2). All four schools championship

regattas were great successes as events and in increased student participation. This can be

attributed to the great work of the individual school associations across the state to build rowing

and make it more accessible to more schools and students. Toowong Rowing Club finished off

a strong year by winning the Queensland Premiership with Riverway Rowing Club claiming

North Queensland honours.

Boat Race Officials

2013 saw three Level One Boat Race Official Courses across the state (Townsville, Bundaberg

& Gold Coast) with 26 new officials gaining accreditation. Additionally towards the end of 2013

three Level Two courses (Bundaberg, Gold Coast, Brisbane) saw six of our most promising

Level One Officials gain higher accreditation. A feat that will be sure to leave rowing in

Queensland in good stead for the future.

Phil Gunning has continued in his role as President of the Boat Race Officials and refereed

regattas in Townsville, Rockhampton and Bundaberg as well as on both the Sunshine and Gold

Coast. The efficiency of Queensland Regattas is also attributed to other nationally accredited

Level Three officials Steve Hinchy, Roy Hinchy, Tony Levick and Neville Doughan as well as

FISA level official Caroline Schomberg.

The Board and staff at Rowing Queensland would like to take this opportunity to thank all Boat

Race Officials who assisted at all regattas during 2013, your presence and support of the

regatta program is always greatly appreciated.

Functions

The Rowing QLD State Team Function was held again in 2013 and was a great success with

110 people gathering at The Regatta Hotel to witness the announcement of the 2013

Queensland Interstate Team. A separate function was held in June at St Margaret’s Anglican

Girls School to raise money for Junior and Under 23 athletes selected in 2013 Australian teams

travelling overseas. This function was a success with 120 people attending to raise much

needed funds for the athletes, a fantastic result and an illustration of the support of the Rowing

community.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROWING QUEENSLAND INC

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report, of Rowing

Queensland Inc, which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2013, the statement of income and

expenditure for the year then ended, note comprising a summary of significant and accounting policies and

other explanatory information and the statement by members of the committee.

Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial Report

The committee of the association is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial

report and has determined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 is appropriate to meet the

requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act (QLD) and the needs of the members. The committee’s

responsibilities also include such internal control as the committee determines is necessary to enable the

preparation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We have conducted

our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with

relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain

reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the

financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of

the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk

assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the association’s preparation of the financial

report that gives a true and fair view 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 association’s

internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the

reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the committee, as well as evaluation the overall

presentation of the financial report.

The financial report has been prepared for distribution to members for the purpose of fulfilling the

committee’s financial reporting obligations under the Associations Incorporation Act (QLD). We disclaim any

assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates to any

person other than the members, or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our

audit opinion.

FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements are special purpose financial statements prepared in order to satisfy the

financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporations Act Qld. The committee has

determined that the association is not a reporting entity.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historic costs,

which do not take into account changing money values or, except where specially stated, current

valuations of non-current assets.

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless

otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements.

(a) Income Tax

Rowing Queensland Inc. is an exempt body under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

(b) Non-Current Assets

Property, plant and equipment have been brought to account at officer’s valuation (as at 31

December 2013) and at cost less accumulated depreciation.

The depreciable amounts of all fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives

commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The carrying amount of fixed assets is reviewed annually by the committee to ensure it is not in

excess of the recoverable amount of those assets.

The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of expected net cash flows which will be received

from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been

discounted to their present values in determining the recoverable amounts.

(c) Accounting Period

These financial statements are for the period 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2013.

(d) Employee Entitlement

Provision is made for the Associations liability for employee entitlements arising from services

rendered by employees to balance data. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one

year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries and annual leave which will be

settled after one year have been measured at their nominal amount.

Contributions are made by the Association to an employee superannuation fund are charged as

expenses when incurred.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (e) Leases

Lease payments are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease

commitments are outlined in Note 11.

(f) Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the

amount of GST is 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 as part of an

item of the expense.

(g) Revenue and Other Income All revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the

association and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is stated net of the amount of GST

Interest revenue is recognised on receipt.

Grant income is recognised when the association gains control over the funds which is generally at

the time of receipt.

If conditions are attached to the grant, recognition of the grant as income is deferred until those

conditions are satisfied.

Where necessary, comparative figures have been altered to conform with changes in presentation.
