This scheme is a shared State Government - Club Industry program, funded by a 1.5% gaming machine tax rebate provided by the State Government to those registered clubs with gaming machine profits in excess of $1 million per annum. Licensed clubs in our community are supporting a range of community projects through this program and Ashfield Council is assisting them through the CDSE Committee to make better decisions about their allocations.
