PRESIDENT’S REPORT WELCOME TO THE WATER POLO QUEENSLAND 2017/18 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

This year’s report is a culmination of records and results from the perspective of the strategic initiatives of the current plan delivered by each of the responsible operational areas.

From the Board’s perspective, it is very satisfying to see that the organisation is in a favourable position financially, achieving the goals of the strategic plan through ongoing resourceful and effective management operationally.

It is refreshing to be able to start the reflection of the successes and achievements of the year with the Team Queensland participation in the Sydney Youth Festival and to end the reporting period with thirteen (13) state representative teams’ participation at the Pan Pacific Youth Water Polo Festival. In between there has been championships, events, upskilling programs, the introduction of new accreditation programs, information sessions, significant social media coverage, the statistics and reports for which will be itemised under the relevant sections in the Annual Report.

Governance within sporting organisations is currently at the forefront of all official directives and policy papers. The current core business funding requires that State Sporting Organisations in Queensland address their governance strategically and to this end, after consultation with member clubs and associations, Water Polo Queensland adopted a new constitution in September 2017 that complies with the current legislation and the needs of the organisation. The constitution allows for a portfolio-based management committee whereby electing someone to fill each role can now be determined by the nominee’s suitable and relevant qualifications for each position.

Through this process, the Diversity & Marketing Officer role was established, which recognises the importance in ensuring the sport is accessible to all Queenslanders. This is the first role of its kind in any state sporting organisation, and further demonstrates the leadership WPQ has shown in this space.

I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their dedication in ensuring the governance of water polo in Queensland is at all times compliant to the various – and many - rules of the sport and governing bodies as well as the requirements of legislation and for their deliberation on all matters. There has been increased cooperation and consultation within the organisation with the portfolio roles being held by suitably qualified members – and more time devoted to carrying out the related duties.

We strive to create an environment of professionalism and program delivery and to achieve this we need a committed workforce of paid employees and volunteers.


9

We are fortunate to have the calibre of staff in the WPQ office who are dedicated water polo enthusiasts and understand the needs of the water polo community in Queensland. Water polo, as with most other sports, could not survive without the many dedicated volunteers who take roles on club committees, run programs and events, coach and manage teams and many more significant duties. Congratulations to you all - staff and volunteers – and thank you on a job well done to achieve the success as recorded in this report.

While this report is claiming successes and efficiencies on many fronts, there is still much work to be done. We are at the half way mark of the current funding period and have achieved more than seventy-five per cent of the initiatives of the grant. With continued cooperation within the whole Queensland water polo community, Water Polo Queensland will become “the home of Water Polo in Australia by taking the game to more people and more communities across Queensland” by creating “an environment where our clubs and associations are thriving, our volunteers are valued and fulfilled, participation is at an all-time high, and our athletes are being nurtured, striving for excellence and maximising their potential.” (WPQ Strategic Plan 2017-2019).

Sharyn TuckerPresident

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT Water Polo Queensland (WPQ) continued to take great strides towards achieving our ambitions and targets building on the strong foundations from the 2017/18 season.

AUSTRALIAN YOUTH WATER POLO CHAMPIONSHIPS

In partnership with Tourism & Events Queensland and Brisbane Marketing, WPQ will host the Australian Youth Water Polo Championships in 2019 & 2020. More than 3000 junior water polo competitors will converge on Brisbane in January each year for two weeks of competition in the 12U, 14U, 16U & 18U divisions.

It is the first time TEQ/BM have invested in a national championship, with the event expected to generate in excess of $5.5M economic impact for the city.

The festival will also include a test match series with the Aussie Sharks and Stingers hosting Japan for a training camp and two test matches.

PERFORMANCE & PATHWAYS MODEL

Following discussions in early January with WPA, QAS and the Sport Australia, it was recognised that a new approach was required to support high performance outcomes that would maximise the use of the available financial resources and ensure an aligned, sustainable and effective daily training environment and pathway for aspiring and elite athletes in Queensland. Furthermore, it was identified that with the Australian Waterpolo League (AWL) playing an important role in the overall high-performance pathways, immediate consideration should also be given to the implementation of a new model for Queensland’s representation in this competition for the next two seasons.

Throughout these discussions, it was indicated that the current high-performance funding levels enjoyed by Water Polo had come under review, and that, by demonstrating through the above process that the sport has identified issues with its current environment and taken steps to address these, favourable consideration for any future funding would be ensured. Both WPA and WPQ were implored to act as to do nothing and retain the status quo would result in an immediate review and reduction of current funding levels effective from the 2018/19 financial year.

Following a thorough consultation process with the relevant stakeholders, the QAS committed to continue their significant financial support for the high-performance program and for the next two years the Queensland Breakers and Brisbane Barracudas participation in the 2019-2020 AWL seasons will be suspended, replaced by a new single Queensland entity.

QUEENSLAND SPORT & ACTIVE RECREATION STRATEGY

The Queensland Government has commenced consultation on a new Sport & Active Recreation Strategy with the following priorities:


11

• Healthy Queenslanders - How can we encourage and support Queenslanders to get moving earlier and keep moving for longer?

• Community connection and equality - How can we enhance community connection and social inclusion in vibrant sport and active recreation places and spaces across the state?

• Economic growth and jobs - How can we deliver jobs and local economic benefits by investing in organisations, facilities and spaces that meet the needs of Queenslanders now and into the future?

• Elite success - How can we better support our athletes to achieve success in national and international sport and ensure our major sporting facilities are world class and continue to attract national and international audiences and events?

WPQ has been involved throughout the consultation process and the final strategy will be important in setting our priorities beyond 2019 in our next strategic plan and the new state government funding cycle.

FINANCE & SPONSORSHIP

WPQ continues to be in a strong financial position meeting the FY17/18 budget and recording a $1,741.14 profit before depreciation. We welcomed two new commercial partners in Hart Sport (Official Water Polo Ball & Equipment Supplier) and Pelleres (Official Core Strength Training Provider) and unlocked additional funding opportunities for the Queensland Country Championships through a partnership with Townsville Enterprise.

CONCLUSION

WPQ continues to evolve as an organisation to meet the expectations and challenges that all sports face in a society where fewer people are playing sport and engaging in physical activity. Introducing change and managing reform can be difficult, there will always be strong opinions and views expressed and in some cases disagreement about the best way forward.

In order to continue to grow and prosper, water polo in Queensland will need to continue to meet the challenges ahead, engage in strong and respectful debate about our path forward and unite behind a collective desire to see our sport flourish and ensure everyone who participates, whatever their role, feels great satisfaction about what they achieve from their contribution or involvement.

I would like to thank the WPQ Board and staff for their hard work, dedication and support throughout 2017/18 and acknowledge our clubs, schools, regional associations, athletes, volunteers and supporters all of who make a significant contribution to the success of water polo in Queensland.

Robert DonaghueChief Executive Officer

PARTICIPATION & PATHWAYS REPORT STATE TEAM PROGRAM

Two hundred and sixty (260) athletes were selected from their performances in BWPI, State Titles, National Club Championships and School Championships for the State Squads and after four weeks of intensive training one hundred and sixty-two (162) Team Queensland members were named to represent Team Queensland in the Pan Pacific Youth Water Polo Festival. An additional five weeks of high-level training laid the foundation for outstanding performances by Team Queensland in New Zealand.

Thirteen (13) teams across four age groups competed and returned with an impressive five medals, two Gold, one Silver and two Bronze. Two athletes, Lulu Elliott (14&U Girls Maroon) and Dan Hansen (18&U Boys Maroon) were awarded Most Valuable Player for their exceptional individual performances in their respective age groups throughout the competition.

Overall it was an incredible experience for our teams: the training and preparation including a training camp with North Harbour Water Polo Club, travelling, training and competing internationally and being part of Team Queensland.

It is now the second year of this program and the team culture and opportunities to develop and compete continue to grow. With the continuation and expansion of our development programs, the future looks bright for Team Queensland.

REGIONAL TRAINING CENTRE (RTC)

In just its second year our RTC program grew to six locations including the addition of Rockhampton, Noosa, and the Gold Coast as training centres. These regional locations facilitated access to training for over two hundred and fifty (250) athletes who, for the most part, had not previously had a skill development program available to them. Foundation skill development is the core of RTC training and the improvement is visible with athletes being selected in State Teams after committing to the RTC program last season.

REGIONS

With some enthusiastic and dedicated leadership, participation continues to increase in regional areas.

The Queensland Country Championships were held in Townsville in February and attracted over twenty entries. Four teams (2 x Men and 2 x Women) were selected to represent Queensland at the Australian Country Championships in Rockhampton in May. The Maroon Women won the silver medal, while the Men won an exciting gold medal game with a championship winning goal from Matt Wilson with just a few seconds remaining in the match. This was Queensland’s first Senior Gold medal for over ten years!


13

RTC was introduced to Rockhampton in April for term 2 but with the athletes motivated to learn and extend their skills, the program was scheduled for another block in term 3. Centres were also introduced to Noosa and the Gold Coast.

Queensland Country teams were nominated in State and National age championships – with the selection of the first representative from Cairns in the 14&U girls team highlighting the growth and development in the regional areas.

COACHING

With development and tournament opportunities available to our coaches, the State Team program was run with seven Head Coaches and six Development Coaches.

The selection process for State Squads included an invitation to all relevant club coaches of each age group to contribute through five selection meetings, which also allowed for discussions regarding athlete development. This was a great opportunity for developing coaches to increase their knowledge and understanding of athlete selection as well as engage with experienced senior coaches.

Coach seminars were held during State Titles and again during the Australia and USA training camp on the Sunshine Coast, which gave exposure to the head coaches of both the Australian and USA teams. For those who attended it was a fantastic opportunity to listen, learn and ask questions of world class coaches.

Coaching representative honours were conferred on Dmitry Gorshkov - Born 2001 Australian Junior Coach; Mel Rippon - Assistant Coach of the Australian Women’s Uniroos team and the Australian Country team for both Men and Women; and Emma Hill - Head Coach of the Australian Women’s Country team for the upcoming international tour.

Overall it has been an enormous year of development, and growth for all of our programs and participants. With the ongoing commitment to improve and expand our development programs, the expectation of even greater outcomes in the future will be realised.

COMPETITIONS AND EVENTS REPORT Competitions and Events across the 2017/18 Season provided teams with the oppor-tunity to travel across the state. Without the assistance of the volunteers and officials, these events would not have been as successful as they were. With your continued support, WPQ aims to continue to provide a festival of competitions in the coming seasons, to showcase all that this sport has to offer. BRISBANE WATER POLO COMPETITION – JUNIORS Two hundred and fifty (250) teams took part in the 2017/18 Brisbane Water Polo Competition across 14 rounds from October 2017 to March 2018. The season culmi-nated with Grand Finals that were held across two weekends at the Valley Pool. The introduction of the U12 Boys competition showed the depth of talent in the younger age groups, which is sure to be carried through into the 2018/19 season. WATER POLO QUEENSLAND STATE TITLES The 2017 State Titles were held over two weeks, showcasing the best athletes and teams that the state has to offer. Competitions were held at the Valley Pool and All Hallows for 12’s, 16’s & 20’s while the Sleeman Sports Complex was introduced for the first time for 14’s & 18’s. Four fields of play were in use at the Sleeman Sports Complex, thanks to the introduc-tion of a new, floating referee platform. We welcomed teams from across Queens-land, along with composite teams from the Country regions, including Rockhampton, Gold Coast, Townsville and Toowoomba. Eighty-nine (89) teams competed across the championships, where coaches also had the opportunity to attend seminar sessions with the Australian Senior Men’s and Women’s coachUNIGAMES NATIONALS – GOLD COASTUniGames once again took their Nationals to the Gold Coast where the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre hosted the water polo completion. WPQ offered technical support and appointed referees for the event where the country’s best University attendee athletes took part fielding thirteen teams in each gender.Four Queensland based universities participated - Queensland University of Technol-ogy (QUT), the University of Queensland (UQ), Griffith University (GU) and Bond Uni-versity (BU). The QUT Men’s team became the Champions, defeating Sydney Univer-sity in the gold medal match. The QUT Women’s team finished a respectable 4th place, while UQ Men ensured they were eligible to compete in the Division 1 competition in 2018. From this competition, QUT’s Patrick Flanagan was selected to compete at the World University Games with the Australian Uniroos. QUEENSLAND COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS – TOWNSVILLE Townsville was the host region of this year’s Queensland Country Championships. With the support of Townsville Enterprise, the tropical region was enjoyed by all, as thirteen (13) teams competed in both the Men and Women’s competition. Cairns

entered the championships for the first time in many years following the re-establish-ment of the local association and competition. After three days of competition, the Sunshine Coast Men and the Gold Coast Women were crowned the Queensland Country Champions for 2018. From here, Queensland was able to select two strong teams in each gender to compete at the Australian Country Championships in Rockhampton in May. AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS – ROCKHAMPTONThe 2nd World War Memorial Aquatic Centre in Rockhampton played host to this year’s Australian Country Championships. With the event hosted by Water Polo Queens-land, it was great to show off the incredible facilities to the other state teams. Water Polo Queensland played an integral part in the operations of the competition, with the support of the Australian Country Committee. The Queensland Maroon men secured the gold medal, after defeating NSW by one goal in a thrilling final game to become the National Country Champions. While the Queensland Maroon women fought their way to the gold medal match, they were pipped at the post by a strong and experienced NSW Blues side and took home the silver medal. Being the host state, Queensland was able to enter both a men’s and women’s de-velopment team. These teams demonstrated the strength and depth of talent within the country regions and are looking forward to competing in future championships. Thirteen (13) Queensland athletes were selected in the Australian Country teams that will compete in the Princess Chulabhorn Cup in Thailand at the end of 2018.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared in order to satisfy the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1981. The committee has determined that the association is not a reporting entity.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated specifically, current valuations of non-current assets.

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless stated otherwise, have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report.

A. Cash flow statement

The presentation of a cash flow statement is not required under the Associations In-corporation Act. However, it has been determined by management that inclusion will assist user understanding of the financial statements.

B. Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Leasehold improvements and office equipment are carried at cost less, where appli-cable, any accumulated depreciation.

The depreciable amount of all PPE is depreciated over the useful lives of the assets to the association commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired pe-riod of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

C. Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the committee reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recovera-ble amount is recognised in the income and expenditure statement.


32

D. Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the association’s liability for employee benefits arising from ser-vices rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

E. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the association has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic bene-fits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

F. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

G. Accounts Receivable and Other Debtors

Accounts receivable and other debtors include amounts due from members as well as amounts receivable from donors. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

H. Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. For this purpose, deferred consideration is not discounted to present values when recog-nising revenue.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.

Grant and donation income is recognised when the entity obtains control over the funds, which is generally at the time of receipt.

If conditions are attached to the grant that must be satisfied before the association is eligible to receive the contribution, recognition of the grant as revenue will be de-ferred until those conditions are satisfied.

In the case of grants provided for administration purposes, these are apportioned over the time the administration grant is expected to be used.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).


33

I. Leases

Leases of PPE, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the owner-ship of the asset (but not the legal ownership) are transferred to the association, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest ex-pense for that period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their es-timated useful lives or the lease term. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

J. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST re-ceivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

K. Financial Assets

Investments in financial assets are initially recognised at cost, which includes transac-tion costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value, which is equivalent to their market bid price at the end of the reporting period. Movements in fair value are rec-ognised through an equity reserve.

L. Accounts Payable and Other Payables

Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the association during the reporting period that remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTTo the members of Water Polo Queensland Incorporated

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Water Polo Queensland Incorporated (the Entity), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and statement by Members of the Committee.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

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 Entity in accordance with ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (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.

Emphasis of matter – Basis of accounting

We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared to assist the Entity to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporations Act 1981. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.


40

Other information

The members are responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor’s report is information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

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, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, 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.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the Financial Report

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report, and have determined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 is appropriate to meet the requirements of the associations incorporations act 1981 and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, management is responsible for assessing the Entity’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 management either intends to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial reporting process.

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 level 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


41

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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar4.pdf
