Vice President Kevin Brennan at the
Netball Queensland Gala Dinner
On behalf of the Board of Netball Queensland
I am delighted to report that netball has made
significant advances in 2009 in what can only be
described as a very busy and productive year.
I congratulate and thank the Netball Queensland
Board and Operations, our associations and
volunteers for their dedication and effort over the
past year. It is with such support that the sport
has blossomed and its potential is starting to be
realised.
The public awareness of the Queensland
Firebirds and the game itself has been
catapulted into the spotlight with the success
of the ANZ Championship. In 2009 we have
been able to build on that solid base by
having the Queensland Firebirds as wonderful
ambassadors and supporting Netball Australia’s
move into commercial free to air television.
The ANZ Championship boasts a proven track
record in raising brand awareness resulting
in greater sponsorship interest and in turn a
heightened level of netball awareness across
the community. The challenge is to turn that
greater awareness into more playing members
supported by increased volunteers.
Strategic Focus
The Board feels it is important to canvass the
individual needs of associations across the
state and other stakeholders to understand
and identify the level and type of assistance
required to further enhance the service Netball
Queensland provides to its members.
To assess the changing needs of associations
and regions, a regional review was conducted
of our membership with the assistance of
board members Chris Schell and Ron Visser
in their respective areas. The feedback
collected together with information obtained
from other states and sports will assist with
clarity of direction for the future. It is important
for future success that there is an alignment of
our strategic priorities so that we may all work
towards a common objective or outcome.
Netball Queensland continues to follow its
strategy in relation to facility development.
We are in the process of sourcing information
to compile a master template to be used as a
reference document for the development of
different stadium configurations. It is hoped that
when funding is available Netball Queensland will
have the ability to move forward without delay.
Equally important will be the ability to share this
information with our members who may have the
capacity to establish netball in any new centres
of growth across the state.
Netball is a business and it is reassuring to know
that there is an accurate picture of our financial
situation. The systems now in place under the
guidance of Financial Controller Quyen Lu
provides accurate and timely reporting for board
review and places our sport in a better position
to be proactive and plan ahead. Finance Officer
Suzie Yeates should be congratulated on her
involvement in this area.
The board’s strategy to undertake a high
performance review eventuated with the
recruitment of the High Performance Manager Brian Hopley. The focus of the role is to establish,
operate and continuously improve programs and
processes that improve the capability of our
players, coaches and umpires across the state.
We believe this is a long term investment and
once the benchmark quality is set at the elite
level the benefits will be seen from the elite end
to all underpinning programs.
Governance
The board has completed a review of all policies
in an attempt to streamline the decision making
process and operations of our business. A review
of our constitution has also been conducted
under the guidance of Susan Bamford and Lyn
Law, with areas requiring modification discussed
with members at the October meeting. Netball
Australia has undertaken a strengthening
governance project by collecting information from
states and territories. The feedback uncovered
from this will be shared with stakeholders and
used as a basis for considering future changes
to governance models. The report to date has
highlighted that Netball Queensland has the most
effective relations with Netball Australia and our
board reporting has also been recognised.
Queensland Firebirds, Queensland Fusion, state
team players and all officials performed extremely
well and we are proud of their achievements.
Vale
Former Netball Queensland Vice President
Graeme Travers passed away this year. His
work with policies and regional development
provided useful insight and direction. Graeme
had a passion for advancing netball.
I would like to acknowledge with sincere thanks
the Queensland Government, Queensland
Health and Ergon Energy and all other valued
sponsors and partners. The relationship we have
established with Netball Australia and networking
with other states and territories has assisted
greatly in our quest to advance netball. To the
Netball Queensland Board, I congratulate you
on your vision and drive and thank you for your
support and commitment. Congratulations must
also go to Netball Queensland CEO Cameron
O’Hara and his staff on a hard working and
successful 2009.
In closing, I would ask that everyone take time
to recognise the achievements and advances
that our sport has made across the state at all
levels. Please remember that this success is the
result of combined efforts, vision and hard work.
On behalf of the board - congratulations to all!

Chief executive officer
This has been a year of significant
achievement with broken milestones across
the board thanks to a well rounded approach
by all Netball Queensland stakeholders.
‘Facility Development and Planning’ meant
a critical concern amongst the Queensland
membership was now at the forefront of the
organisation’s priorities.
We enjoyed significant member growth
through 2009 largely due to the success of
the ANZ Championship and most of all our
affiliate network of 83 associations that have
capitalised on the growing public interest of
netball Australia wide.
Work commenced on developing a
comprehensive netball court planning guide to
ensure member associations and local councils
were safe in their approach to the development
and renovation of netball facilities. On a facility
front, Netball Queensland continued exploring
options with the State Government and other
stakeholders surrounding a home facility
for netball. In 2009 full concept plans were
developed.
The result was a strengthened financial
performance for the organisation in a time of
global economic uncertainty and also a time
where sports participation remains a highly
competitive environment at the grass roots
level.
Netball Queensland has continued to
strengthen with the incredible support from
Government partners. Our thanks goes to
the Queensland Government, particularly
Queensland Health, the Department of
Communities and the Queensland Academy
of Sport (QAS) for their continual support and
recognition of netball in Queensland.
Netball Queensland continued as a liaison
throughout the state with local governments
and various sporting and non-sporting
industries ensuring netball was consistently
considered and supported. Thanks to those
partners in the community who helped support
a natural growth pattern in our participation
and for allowing Netball Queensland the
opportunity to work as partners in future
planning projects.
New facilities bought new members,
specifically Northern Gold Coast Netball
Association and three new associations from
the Darling Downs region; Texas Netball
Association, Goondiwindi Netball Association
and St George Netball Association. We thank
all member associations and their contributions
to netball in 2009.
What The Year Delivered
Netball Queensland ensured its strategies
remained relevant and key to our membership’s
requirements. In turn the strategic addition of
4
We continued down the lines of ensuring the
sport maintained a progressive approach by
reviewing our regional structure. The review
identified the importance of regions in ongoing
development of netball in Queensland, given
geographic challenges and established
development pathways. However, since their
inception regional roles and responsibilities
have changed. It was seen as critical that
moving forward, regions required greater
support with the implementation of a regional
administrator role from 2010.
A full membership review commenced in line
with a strategy to build and grow netball in
Queensland which was completed in two parts
- a review of non-affiliated netball entities and
full affiliate and associate memberships. The
outcome has assisted Netball Queensland
in preliminary discussions with various ‘non
traditional’ netball markets including men’s,
mixed, schools, indoor, indigenous and
inclusive networks to further enhance and
strengthen netball as one brand for all.
On a state and national level, Netball
Queensland solidified its already strong
partnership with Netball Australia by committing
to re-brand itself with the national ‘one
netball’ brand. This shift symbolises Netball
Queensland’s commitment to a growing
national brand identity which cemented itself
with corporate partners, members and fans
nationally. We envisage the national òne
brand` family will be considered an iconic
sporting and entertainment brand for netball
in Australia.
Our national partnership extended far further
than branding in 2009 particularly in the area
of community and sport development.
A revised ‘national’ approach for junior
introductory program San Remo NetSetGO!
saw nearly 1800 juniors introduced to the
sport in Queensland. The program was further
enhanced through Queensland Firebirds
participation. More than 26 schools and 800
participants were visited as part of the ANZ
Fire Up! clinics which was also well supported
and delivered by Netball Queensland and the
Queensland Firebirds.
Work was also conducted at a national level
surrounding indigenous participation, inclusion
programs, risk management, insurance, Trans
Tasman Netball League, coaching, umpiring
and officiating. We sincerely thank Netball
Australia for ongoing support, guidance and
recognition of our efforts throughout the year.
On a state level, community, sport and
commercial development all took steps forward
measured to expectation.
The year saw full participation across the board
in the newly branded Schweppes Challenge,
Be SmokeFree! State Age Championships,
X-Blades Challenge Carnival and Feeling
Good Carnival.
There were many highlights in the Holden
Cruze Cup including the McDonalds Magnetic
North Steelcats as the first team in competition
history to compete independently of Netball
Queensland budgetary support thanks
to McDonald’s Townsville. Ergon Energy
once again supported the Ergon Energy
Championships, which saw some outstanding
results and display of netball.
2009 saw Netball Queensland’s final delivery
of the Cape Indigenous Netball Program
headed by Heather McLaren of Marlin Coast
and supported by the Queensland Government.
More than 1100 Indigenous students took part
through 2008/2009.
On a regional front, the Ergon Energy Netball
Academy structure provided a great avenue
for developing athletes, coaches and umpires,
operating under a state wide monitored
program. Interest in the program grew along
with final numbers progressing through to
underage selection in 2009.
IT Services
Information Technology was again a high
priority for Netball Queensland underpinned
by our State Communication Framework.
This included fortnightly Net News Update,
Member Update, Firebirds Catch Up, websites
and National Member Administration System
(NMAS) which has continued as a growing
fixture amongst member associations. Onsite
training for NMAS was given to 45 member
associations and 35 individual training sessions
were held state wide headed by Judy Quilter
and Daniel Smith. Net-Mail, netballs own email
system, underwent field testing late in 2009 to
be launched in full to the membership early
2010.
Media and Promotion
A substantial increase in netball media
coverage was experienced across the state in
2009 largely due to work completed internally
and through solid partnerships formed
between local member associations and media
networks. In total a 10 per cent increase in
netball media exposure was produced. We
sincerely thank our extended media family for
their support of netball in this time of growth.
The
Queensland
Performance
Firebirds/
High
The ANZ Championship has taken the sport
to an unprecedented new level with live
coverage on Network Ten through ONE HD,
Ten and Southern Cross later in the year.
Audience numbers nearly doubled in 2009
with an average TV audience of 300,000.
The Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
attendance pushed past our previous record
with an average 85 per cent capacity, totalling
2700 each game. Both corporate hospitality
and licensing also exceeded expectation
and provided greater insight into the growing
entertainment value of the Firebirds.
Congratulations to Queensland Firebirds
coach Vicki Wilson, support staff and players
who amidst all the attention were professional in
their approach and well rounded ambassadors
of the game, finishing fifth for the second
consecutive year, narrowly missing a finals
position by less than 2 per cent.
Although fifth is commendable it was below
all expectation and it was this continued
trend that prompted Netball Queensland to
commence revision of its high performance
program, starting with the realignment of the
Firebirds coaching role to now become full
time, working with the newly recruited High
Performance Manager. This would ensure
the elite end of the sport remained a viable
pathway for developing athletes, coaches and
umpires. Changes included the recruitment of
Australian Diamonds Assistant Coach Roselee
Jencke and High Performance Manager Brian
Hopley late 2009.
On a state and development focus
Queensland’s team within the New Idea
Australian Netball League, Queensland Fusion,
performed admirably in 2009 with a
consecutive third place in their second
year. The ANL continues to be supported
and enhanced to ensure it remains a valid
pathway for athletes, coaches and umpires in
a premier national competition under the ANZ
Championship.
Thank you
Finally, I acknowledge Jan Maggacis and the
Netball Queensland Board for their support
and loyalty, the management team, staff and
volunteers at Netball Queensland and the
many people in the wider community who have
all continued to enhance, support and develop
netball in Queensland – thankyou.
Cameron O’Hara - CEO
Netball Queensland
Again Queensland’s underage teams
competed commendably with the 17 and
Under, 19 and Under and 21 and Under
finishing fourth, second and third respectively.
Congratulations to all Queenslanders
who received outstanding representative
achievements in 2009.
Ergon Energy Netball Academy was a
big success in all regions in 2009

Affiliated Associations
This has been a year of considerable progress for Netball Queensland
with the past 12 months proving to be particularly challenging. Netball
Queensland continued to be in a sound financial position as we make
progress in building up our financial strength. As at 31st December 2009,
Netball Queensland had net assets of $2,734,856 (2008: $2,621,500).
Of this amount, $747,567 represented cash on hand of which $325,429
represents 2010 prepaid income. This is an increase in cash reserves of
$269,516 (56%) from the prior year.
In 2009 Netball Queensland consisted of 83 affiliated associations which
was one less than in 2008. Three 2008 affiliates did not re-affiliate with
Netball Queensland in 2009 and we gained two new associations, both of
which located in the Darling Downs region.

The financial operations of Netball Queensland for the 2009 year resulted
in a net surplus of $113,356 (2008: profit $40,361) which represents an
increase of 181% on the prior year. This profit including non-cash items
of Depreciation $75,782, Loss on Disposal of Asset $967, Bad Debts
$458 and Obselete Stock $3,104.
Gross receipts totalled $5,020,166 with gross operating expenses
totalling $4,906,810 for the year. Disregarding the amount of contra
sponsorship and expenses of 2009, revenue has been retained with an
increase of $28,235 while expenses have decreased by $44,759 from the
prior year. Further new sponsors and official suppliers were secured to
contribute to this bottom line. The staff of Netball Queensland should be
commended for their work in achieving these increases in incomes and
reductions in expenditures.
Membership revenue remains the largest contributor of income for
Netball Queensland. This reinforces the need to not only protect this vital
income stream but to nurture it and see it grow. This can only happen
if numbers can be retained for all levels and categories of membership
in the sport.
The two new associations were Goondiwindi Netball Association and
Texas Netball Association. In addition St George Netball Association was
this year approved as a new affiliate (also for the Darling Downs Region)
and will officially affiliate in 2010.
Membership numbers again indicated an increase from the previous
year and the accompanying graphs highlight this growth and indicates
membership for each or our 12 regions.

The challenges which impacted our performance in 2009 will continue
into the new financial year, however they will present us with both
challenges and opportunities. With the outlook for global financial
markets uncertain and economic growth slowing, we need to remain
cautious and ensure that we remain well capitalised and funded.
At the same time it is essential that we do not lose sight of our strategic
imperatives and balance these short term challenges with the need to
continue to invest in creating long term value for our members. There
has been continued progress in delivering on our five strategic priorities
which are key components in achieving our goal of becoming Australia’s
best sporting association.
Netball Queensland has come out of a very difficult year in a strong
position. In an environment where there are significant financial
pressures, Netball Queensland goes into the new financial year well
positioned both competitively and financially.
The Finance Committee would like to thank Netball Queensland staff
and management team for their efforts this year and look forward to the
continued success in the future with the organisation going from strength
to strength.

around the regions
Netball Queensland had the opportunity to have on-going face-to face
contact with the 12 Regional Management Committees to assist with
the forward and ongoing planning and development of each region.
The following were initiatives for the benefit of Regional Management
Committees:
• Regional Funding Program
• Volunteer Recognition Program
• Regional Operations Resource
(to be rolled out in 2010)
Marlin Coast
It was another busy year for Marlin Coast in 2009. The region
introduced several new programs this year including the Classics, Junior
Representative and Netta Carnival, using development pathways as the
event strategy. The region’s partnership with Fowler’s Group continued
in 2009 providing valuable funding to support the local regional events
including club carnivals and schools events. Marlin Coast also continued
their sponsorship with Territory Packaging in 2009. Their funding was
channelled towards the support of the athletes in the underpinning
programs and the Ergon Energy Netball Academy. Another valuable
partnership with James Cook University gave the region access to Sports
Science/Human Movements support staff.
2 x level 1 umpiring courses
9 x accredited foundation coaches
Magnetic North
In 2009 Magnetic North offered a wide and varied range of development
opportunities for their members. From accreditation courses to umpire
workshops; all were designed and planned to meet the needs of their
members and provide up-skilling. Magnetic North again hosted a
successful umpiring weekend at the annual Burdekin Carnival.
The Magnetic North Steelcats continued to be supported by local
sponsors including McDonald’s Townsville.

Whitsunday
2009 proved to be a challenging year for the Whitsunday region. The
annual Coaching and Umpiring Development Weekend, Junior Sharks
Camp and Western Tour were all put on hold for 2009 due to limited
funding and unavailability of presenters. The region again supported the
Remote Children’s Camp held in Clermont. Approximately 50 children
from remote stations attended the annual camp and the region was able
to provide assistance with coaches and equipment. While Whitsunday was
unable to compete in the tier 2 state league competition the Ergon Energy
Netball Academy program continued to shine. The Academy received a
lot of positive feedback and athletes benefited from the dedicated staff
- Carynne Robinson, Trisha McHugh and Joe Fatnowna. The region’s
umpires received coaching from experienced umpire Michelle O’BrienPaulson and the visit was a great success.
1 x umpiring courses
Capricorn
Capricorn offered a wide and varied range of development opportunities
for their members in 2009. From accreditation courses to player camps;
all were designed and planned to meet the needs of their members and
provide up-skilling. The Ergon Energy Championship team, Capricorn
Claws and Ergon Energy Netball Academy continued to strengthen and
grow.
Darling Downs
Netball in the Darling Downs region commenced in 2009 with the
selection of the Darling Downs Panthers and a record number of netballers
trialling for the Ergon Energy Netball Academy. The inaugural Laura Geitz
Competition was a tremendous success with a large number of schools in
attendance. The annual coaching and umpiring weekend held on the third
weekend of February was well attended. The purpose of the weekend was
to give coaches and umpires a head start before the commencement of the
netball season. Interdistrict competition continued to grow from strength
to strength in 2009 and Netball Queensland commends Meg Englart
for her dedication and organisation of the event. In 2009 the Rural and
Remote funding allowed Flora Clark to travel to places like Thargomindah
and surrounding areas. Flora provided valuable coaching and clinics to a
variety of age groups in these areas.
Wide Bay
Golden South
This year was highlighted by an increased focus on the mentoring and
development of the Wide Bay region’s coaches and umpires. The annual
regional days again provided valuable umpire coaching to those in the
region. The two days were successfully hosted by Gayndah and Nanango
Netball Associations. The Ergon Energy Netball Academy was also a
great platform for the development of coaches and umpires. The region
was also able to see an increase in media exposure from Ergon Energy
Championship team, the Thundercats and through the Academy.

for representative teams. In 2009 Suncoast implemented a successful
Junior Academy Program to underpin the Ergon Energy Netball Academy.
The region again achieved significant results in the areas of management
and administration, marketing and promotion and participation and
involvement. 30 per cent of all Netball Queensland accredited foundation
coaches in 2009 were from Suncoast as they held six courses throughout
the year to accommodate the members.
Suncoast again hosted regional development games over three weekends
from mid-February to early March as part of the region’s commitment to
developing representative players across all associations in the area.
The three days were successfully hosted by Sunshine Coast, Noosa and
Caboolture. The competition was played in a non-competitive round robin
In 2009 Golden South achieved some major milestones and achievements.
The focus for 2009 was coach and umpire education, junior development
and the progress of the Golden South Jaguars. The region congratulated
and acknowledged several athletes who were selected for representative
honors. In 2009, six Golden South athletes competed in the New Idea
Australian Netball League and the region had several athletes vying for
underage 2010 state team selection. The Holden Cruze Cup team, The
Jaguars, coached by Paula Stuart finished runners up in the competition.
The region also congratulated Paula on attaining her level 3 coaching
accreditation. Another highlight for Golden South was the coach education
session delivered by Vicki Wilson and the increased media exposure
especially in the Tweed Daily News, Gold Coast Bulletin and the Gold
Coast Sun. Overall 2009 was a very positive year for Golden South.
Brisbane North
In 2009 Brisbane North began operating as an Incorporated Branch.
This was a significant step forward in the history of the region. Brisbane
North again had another strong year in the state league competition,
with the Kedron Wavell Services Club Cougars and the Ergon Energy
Netball Academy proving to be a beneficial program and pathway for local
athletes.
Brisbane South
Brisbane South offered a wide and varied range of development
opportunities for their members in 2009. From accreditation courses to
development workshops; all were designed and planned to meet the
needs of their members and provide up-skilling. The region also hosted a
successful Twilight Carnival which was well supported by the associations
and members. Brisbane South held a Junior Netball Clinic for 11 to 14
year olds with the Brisbane South Wildcats which was an overwhelming
success. The Wildcats conquered Kedron Wavell Services Club Cougars
in the Ergon Energy Championship final.
Brisbane East
The Brisbane East region had a challenging year in 2009. The highlight
for the region was the success of their Carina Leagues Club Tigers in the
Holden Cruze Cup. The team was crowned 2009 champions after defeating
the Golden South Jaguars. Another highlight for the region was the success
of the Ergon Energy Netball Academy. The program contained a strong
umpiring component and coaches and umpires from Brisbane East were
invited to attend and be up-skilled in various areas of the game.
Brisbane West
Significant progress was made in 2009 towards Incorporation status for
Brisbane West with the aim of the region being fully operational as an
Incorporated Branch in 2010. Development opportunities were provided
through the Ergon Energy Netball Academy and on more than one occasion
it was evident from all accounts that these opportunities were well received.
Given the overall success of these opportunities it can only be expected
that they will continue to grow in the coming year for the region.

and the time and energy they put into promoting netball in Queensland.
In the second year of the program, Netball Queensland recognised and
rewarded those individuals who have devoted their time to the sport in
a non-paid capacity at a club, association or regional level in the areas
of coaching, managing, administration, publicity, social planning, registry
and umpiring.

members information
technology
Netball in Queensland is moving towards a new
and more efficient way of operating as we look
towards the future with an increasing emphasis on
the utilisation of new technologies.
The most significant achievements during 2009
supporting this objective, involved the National
Membership and Administration System (NMAS).
NMAS:
After a successful three month pilot involving six
Netball Queensland Associations in 2008, this year
saw the widespread roll out of NMAS across the
state, with basic training provided to 60 per cent of
member organisations.
Behind the scenes, extensive development went
into all NMAS modules with refinements made to the
existing modules throughout the year prior to 2009
and new modules prepared in readiness for full scale
launches in 2010. Netball Queensland remained a
key player in this process involving the system
developers Interfuse, Netball Australia and all state
bodies.
Of the new modules, a member’s only portal known
as MyNetball was launched in Queensland in late
2009. In addition to this Net-Mail, the new exclusive
communication tool for the netball community, was
piloted by three Netball Queensland Associations in
November to be launched in Queensland in 2010.
Queensland will be the first of the Australian states to
utilise this module. This is due to Netball Queensland’s
prominent and ongoing work in cooperation with
Netball Australia on NMAS development, as well as
a nation leading initiative in funding the creation of
Net-Mail which is tailor made for the requirements of
member organisations in Queensland.
A ninth module known as ‘Broadcast’ has also been
developed and when completed will revolutionise
the way associations can send communications to
its members by utilising mobile technologies.
The benefits of the time and funding that Netball
Queensland has invested into these projects during
2009 will undoubtedly be increasingly noticed over
the coming years as the system becomes more
operational.

queensland firebirds
The Queensland Firebirds and ANZ Championship enjoyed many
highlights in 2009 in what was the second year of the trans-Tasman
netball competition. Network Ten came on board in 2009 for the
Australian broadcast of the ANZ Championship with games shown on
free to air television on Channel 10 and the new digital channel ONE
HD. The Network Ten broadcast saw Australian television audiences
increase 225 per cent in 2009 compared to 2008, and with ONE HD
now broadcasting in regional areas this is sure to increase in the 2010
season.
The ANZ Championship was broadcast for a total of 554 hours across
four networks in Australia and New Zealand and reached a cumulative
audience of 11.407 million viewers across both markets.
The Queensland Firebirds hosted six home games at the Brisbane
Convention & Exhibition Centre in 2009 achieving record crowds with
sold out games and an average of over 2600 spectators per game.
Season tickets also hit record numbers and were up 20 per cent on
the 2008 season. These figures show the substantial growth of live
spectators and television viewers in 2009.
With an increase in television coverage the Firebirds team also
achieved more exposure through other media and sponsorships. The
ANZ Championship has significantly increased the profile of netball at
all levels of the game.
The ANZ Championship was a tightly contested competition in 2009
with the final four not decided until the last round. The Queensland
Firebirds fell agonisingly short, missing the finals on a goal percentage
of one per cent. The highlights of the season were the 11 point victory
over the Waikato/ Bay of Plenty Magic at the Brisbane Convention &
Exhibition Centre in round four and a comeback victory against the
Northern Mystics in Auckland in round 13.
For the second consecutive year Romelda Aiken scored the highest
number of goals in the ANZ Championship season with 570 season goals
and again won the Most Valuable Player of the ANZ Championship.
The Queensland Firebirds were very prominent in the Queensland
community in 2009. Firebirds players coached the state’s up and coming
netballers through the ANZ Fire Up! Clinics all across the state from
Cairns to the Gold Coast and also visited up to 40 schools to promote
healthy living through the Queensland Health Feeling Good Schools
Program. The Firebirds supported and promoted many charities including
the Cancer Council’s Daffodil Day, Pink Ribbon Day and various other
causes.

high performance
representative teams
In 2009, the High Performance area of the sport adjusted to change
with the re-alignment of the Queensland Academy of Sport. The QAS
undertook a strategic shift to concentrate on and support the elite team
of each sport which in netball’s case was the Queensland Firebirds.
The QAS supported the Queensland Firebirds with facilities, athlete and
career education and sports science.
New Idea Australian Netball League
The second season of the New Idea Australian Netball League (ANL)
kicked off in July with the Queensland Fusion hosting their home
round at Cornubia Park Sports Centre. Queensland played host to
South Australia, Tasmania and the first international team in the ANL –
Singapore. Emerging undefeated after their home round, the Queensland
Fusion continued their great form to finish third on the ladder. After a
hard fought battle in the semi-finals the Queensland Fusion went down
by two points to the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). Victorian Fury
backed up their 2008 title with a convincing win in the final to remain the
New Idea Australian Netball League champions.
Five Queensland athletes were selected for 2009 Australian Institute
of Sport Scholarships, congratulations to Sophie Croft, Candice Adam,
Rachael Forbes, Laura Scherian and Jacqui Russell.
In November an Elite Coaching Course was held at the QAS for 10
of Queensland’s advanced coaches. The Netball Australia run course
attracted many of the state’s leading coaches and up and coming
coaches who will use their new knowledge in their teams and programs
in the future.
2009 Queensland Fusion Squad
Also in coaching, Paula Stuart achieved her High Performance Coaching
Accreditation from Netball Australia. Congratulations to Di Cocker who
was re-endorsed as an AA umpire during the 2009 New Idea Australian
Netball League competition.
At the National Championships Queensland was heavily represented
in the 17 and Under and 19 and Under talent identification squads.
For the first time a 19 and Under Australian team was selected and
congratulations to Stephanie Wood, Chanel Gomes, Holly Pearce,
Sally Butters and Alexandra Feggans on their selection in this squad.
This team played in matches against the Australian Institute of Sport
at the end of their selection camp. Kylee Sampson was chosen as an
Australian 19 and Under Squad selector for the National Championships
and 19 and Under Australian team selector at the National TID camp.
Laura Scherian received a
scholarship to the AIS in 2009
At the World Youth Cup, Queensland was represented in the Australian
21 and Under team by Sophie Croft and Laura Scherian.
At the National Championships support was given to the coaching staff
with the inclusion of a video analysis program. This enabled coaches to
watch matches and specific areas straight after games and plan for the
following matches. This initiative was extremely successful and will be
used in the future.

The 2009 final series of the Holden Cruze Cup saw the top four teams
fight for a spot in the grand final. The Brisbane East Carina Leagues

third in Rockhampton. The competition culminated with a four week
final series including the top six teams on the ladder at the conclusion of
fixture rounds. The Brisbane South Wildcats and Brisbane North Kedron
Wavell Services Club Cougars contested the grand final in Brisbane in
September in a nail biting extravaganza. The Wildcats finished on top
winning the Championship, 59-51. The grand final Player of the Match

in 12 regions including - Marlin Coast, Magnetic North, Whitsunday,
Capricorn, Wide Bay, Suncoast, Golden South, Darling Downs, Brisbane

Netball Queensland would like to acknowledge Ergon Energy for their
ongoing support of the Ergon Energy Netball Academy program, the
growth of the Academy would have been restricted without their ongoing
support.
The final state event of the year, the Feeling Good Carnival was
hosted by Rockhampton Netball Association. This year all 83 Netball
Queensland Associations were invited to participate at the carnival which
has previously only been offered to regional associations. The decision
to open up the event to all associations was well received by members
with 133 teams attending the event.

JUNIOR PARTICIPATION
San Remo NetSetGO!
The second year of the national role out of the junior netball program
San Remo NetSetGO! took place in 2009 with all of the states once again
taking part in the program. The junior program is continuously growing
in Queensland with an increase in centre and participant numbers this
year compared to 2008. There were 44 centres registered in San Remo
NetSetGO! with 1732 participants spread across Queensland’s 12 netball
regions.
Several San Remo NetSetGO! promotions were assisted by the new
inflatable Activity Centre provided by Netball Australia. It was a great
attraction for visits to association programs and other Netball Queensland
events. This year at the Queensland Firebirds home games 12 lucky San
Remo NetSetGO! centres where selected to play during half time at the
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The Suncoast branch had a massive 383 registered participants across
the region. Three regional netball associations had the most participants;
Gladstone Netball Association – 164
Cairns Netball Association - 125
Moranbah Netball Association - 100
ANZ Fire Up! Clinic/ Camp
The ANZ Fire Up! Clinics in 2009 proved to be extremely popular with
young and upcoming netballers. There were nine clinics throughout the
year with four held in regional Queensland, all led by members of the
Queensland Firebirds. There were 818 participants that registered for
the clinic, which was an increase of 517 participants from the previous
year.
Participants at the clinics received an ANZ Championship pack. The
Firebirds led the three hour clinics taking the children through attack and
defensive skills as well as fun games and prizes. At the end of each clinic
the players signed autographs for the participants.
The ANZ Fire Up! Camp attracted 80 registered participants in 2009 with
27 participants travelling from the Wide Bay region. Queensland Firebirds
Laura Geitz, Clare McMeniman, Alissa Castrisos, Amy Steel, Jacqui
Russell, Laura Scherian and Sophie Croft led the netball sessions and
activities while interacting with the participants. Firebirds coach Roselee
Jencke also attended the camp for presentations where all participants
received an ANZ participant pack, netball, t-shirt and certificate. The
2009 ANZ Fire Up! Camp was a big success with great feedback from
participants. The experience included conditioning sessions, nutrition
workshop, specialised netball sessions and Question & Answer time with
the Queensland Firebirds players.
Feeling Good Schools Program
In 2009 the Queensland Firebirds and Major Support Partner Queensland
Health delivered the Feeling Good Schools Program at 27 Queensland
schools across the state. The Firebirds players delivered the Feeling
Good message to the students and hosted practical netball sessions
emphasising the fun of staying fit and healthy. Several schools in all
12 Netball Queensland regions have now had a visit from the program
throughout 2008 and 2009.
San Remo NetSetGO! was a big attraction during half
time at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
The finals results:
This year there were 200 teams from 163 schools that competed in the
regional rounds of the Vicki Wilson Cup. Taking on a new finals format
16 teams (from 10 school sport regions) progressed through to the final
series which was held at the State Netball Centre on October 10 and
11. The final series weekend played host to some great netball with the
best schools in Queensland battling it out to be overall champion. John
Paul College defeated Sandgate District in the final in front of a strong
crowd.
Thanks must go to all regional coordinators and volunteers involved in
this year’s competition.

Channel 10 aired four feature stories about Firebirds athletes during
the season which were shown leading up to games on Channel 10 and
ONE HD. The stories which were filmed in March 2009 in Brisbane
were planned over a four month period and gave insight into the lives
of the athletes. Other television coverage included pre and post match
broadcast of the Firebirds games as well as several other appearances
during the season. The Firebirds featured in television shows such as
Jack of All Trades (February 2009) and Channel Nine’s The Shak on
three occasions (May, June and December 2009).

Many Firebirds appearances were turned into media opportunities for
both print and broadcast during the year including support to community
organisations and charities, hospital visits and television appearances.
Continuing support from Queensland’s state-wide publication, the
Courier Mail and Sunday Mail, played a substantial role in increasing the
exposure of the Firebirds across the state with regular stories and photos
featuring prominently at least once a week during the ANZ Championship
season. Other print publications including Quest Newspapers and
regional newspapers followed the progress of the Firebirds. Several
cover stories in Brisbane based magazines gave positive exposure to
the sport and the athletes. Many online articles appeared in conjunction
with print newspapers as well as websites such as ABC Online, AAP,
NineMSN and Yahoo.

Netball Queensland and the Queensland Firebirds saw a substantial
increase in media coverage across all mediums in 2009 compared
to the previous year. The media coordinator worked closely with all
Netball Queensland staff to ensure a positive profile of the sport across
a wide range of media opportunities and appearances. Many public
relations decisions made through the year were crucial in maintaining a
positive image for netball and its athletes. To ensure this image Netball
Queensland worked with respectable and sports oriented media outlets
for promotion of the Firebirds as athletes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
finance continued
NOTE 1 - STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
c. Property, Plant and Equipment (cont.)
The financial statements cover Queensland Netball Association Incorporated as an individual
entity. Queensland Netball Association Inc. is an association incorporated in Queensland under
the Associations Incorporation Act 1981.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the
Associations Incorporation Act 1981 (Qld).
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in
excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the
basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets! employment and
subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in
determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the association includes the cost of materials, direct
labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would
result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions,
events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards
ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements
are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset!s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are
incurred.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical
costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current
assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, is
depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives commencing from the time the asset is
held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the
unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Accounting Policies
a. Income Tax
No provision for income tax has been raised as the association operates solely as a non-profit
sporting association and accordingly it is exempt from income tax under section 50-45 of the
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
b. Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured
products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed
overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned
on the basis of weighted average costs.
Class of Fixed Asset
Buildings
Furniture, fixtures, plant & equipment
Computer equipment
Depreciation Rate
5.00%
5.00% - 33.00%
40.00%
The assets! residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each
balance date.
An asset!s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset!s
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.
These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold,
amounts included in the revaluation relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
c. Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable,
any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
34
35
finance continued
finance continued
d. Leases
e. Financial Instruments (cont.)
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.
The association does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture
entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to
financial instruments.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straightline basis over the life of the lease term.
e. Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the
contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that
the association commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (ie trade date accounting is
adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs except where the
instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are
expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value or amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could
be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available,
quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances,
valuation techniques are adopted.
Amortised cost is calculated as: (i) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is
measured at initial recognition; (ii) less principal repayments; (iii) plus or minus the cumulative
amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity
amount calculated using the effective interest method; and (iv) less any reduction for impairment.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the
relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash
payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through
the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial
instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to
expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a
consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.
36
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are held for trading
for the purpose of short-term profit taking. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value
with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss. The association has not held any
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the current or comparative financial year.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and
fixed or determinable payments, and it is the association’s intention to hold these investments to
maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method.
The association has not held any held-to-maturity investments in the current or comparative
financial year.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of
being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are
designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities
where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
(v) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at
amortised cost.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the association assesses whether there is objective evidence that a
financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a
prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an
impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
37
finance continued
finance continued
e. Financial Instruments (cont.)
i. Revenue
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual right to receipt of cash flows expires or
the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant
continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are
derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The
difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to
another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or
liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Revenue from capitation fees and Government grants are recognised upon the receipt of funds.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates
applicable to the financial assets.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
j. Borrowing Costs
f. Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the association reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such
an indication exists, 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 value. Any excess of the
asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the association
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
g. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the association’s liability for employee benefits arising from services
rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within
one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled,
plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the
present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. These
cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to
maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.
h. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank
overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance
sheet.
38
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added
to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended
use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
k. 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 Tax 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. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST
component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
l. Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to
changes in presentation for the current financial year.
m. Key Estimates
Impairment
The association assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluation of conditions and
events specific to the association that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable
amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate
various key assumptions.
39

n. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards
o. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
During the current year, the association has adopted all of the new and revised Australian
Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory.
The AASB has issued new, revised and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that
have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods and which the association has
decided not to early adopt. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the
association is as follows:
The adoption of these Standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of
certain transactions. The following is an explanation of the impact the adoption of these
Standards and Interpretations has had on the financial statements of Queensland Netball
Association Inc.
AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements
In September 2007, the Australian Accounting Standards Board revised AASB 101, and as a
result there have been changes to the presentation and disclosure of certain information within
the financial statements. Below is an overview of the key changes and the impact on the
association’s financial statements.
Disclosure impact
Terminology changes — The revised version of AASB 101 contains a number of terminology
changes, including the amendment of the names of the primary financial statements.
Reporting changes in equity — The revised AASB 101 requires all changes in equity arising from
transactions with owners in their capacity as owners to be presented separately from non-owner
changes in equity. Owner changes in equity are to be presented in the statement of changes in
equity, with non-owner changes in equity presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
The previous version of AASB 101 required that owner changes in equity and other
comprehensive income be presented in the statement of changes in equity.
Statement of comprehensive income — The revised AASB 101 requires all income and expenses
to be presented in either one statement — the statement of comprehensive income, or two
statements — a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The
previous version of AASB 101 required only the presentation of a single income statement.
The association’s financial statements now contain a statement of comprehensive income.
- AASB 2008–5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual
Improvements Project (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009)
and AASB 2008–6: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the
Annual Improvements Project (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July
2009).
These amendments detail numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to Accounting Standards
arising from the IASB’s annual improvements project. No changes are expected to materially
affect the association.
- AASB 2009–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (applicable for annual reporting
periods commencing on or after 1 July 2009).
This amendment reflects editorial changes made to a number of Accounting Standards by the
IASB. No changes are expected to materially affect the association.
- AASB Interpretation 18: Transfers of Assets from Customers (applicable for transfers of assets
from customers received from 1 July 2009).
This guidance applies prospectively to entities that receive transfers of assets, such as plant and
equipment, from their customers in order to connect customers to a network and provide them
with access to a supply of goods or services. The Interpretation outlines the appropriate
accounting treatment in respect of such transfers. It is not expected to impact the association.
The association does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above reporting requirements.
Other comprehensive income — The revised version of AASB 101 introduces the concept of
‘other comprehensive income’ which comprises of income and expense that are not recognised
in profit or loss as required by other Australian Accounting Standards. Items of other
comprehensive income are to be disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income. Entities
are required to disclose the income tax relating to each component of other comprehensive
income. The previous version of AASB 101 did not contain an equivalent concept.
