MESSAGE
JOHN WYLIE AM
It has been another significant year for the Australian Sports Commission and
the sports network as we continue to work together to pursue victory on the
world stage and inspire all Australians to experience the joy of sport.
Despite a challenging economic environment, in 2013–14 the Australian
Government invested almost $120 million in our national sporting organisations.
In high performance, Australia’s Winning Edge continues to evolve as we target
sports with potential to deliver international success and invest more in our most
promising athletes.
Some highlights in 2013–14 have included:
•Campaign Rio — a partnership between the AIS, Australian Olympic Committee and
Australian Paralympic Committee to prepare athletes for the Rio Olympic Games.
•AIS Centre for Performance Coaching and Leadership — the Centre continues to develop
Australia’s coaches and high performance leaders, with a Podium Coach program launched.
•AIS Sports Draft — a fast-tracked development program for talented athletes who are
interested in transferring to Olympic or Commonwealth Games sports.
Our work with sports to reform governance structures and develop their strategic and commercial
capabilities also continues. The ASC is determined to create better businesses and we are
leading the way with a lean and agile operating model, a new AIS brand, and continued focus on
philanthropy through the Australian Sports Foundation.
Grassroots participation remains a key priority, with the Australian Government’s announcement
of the Sporting Schools program a significant endorsement of community sport. The $100 million
program will commence in 2015 — reaching more than 850,000 children — and will enable sports
to boost their participation numbers.
Australian sport is on a transformative journey. Few periods have been filled with so much activity
or so much promise, and I appreciate your hard work and support over the past year. By joining
us on this journey you continue to prove your capacity to succeed in this ever-changing sporting
landscape.

PRESIDENT’S
REPORT
BARRY KNIGHT
In this report, I endeavour to provide a snapshot
of what I feel is the continuing journey of BMX.
In this year’s report I hope to address some of
the foreseeable outcomes which I believe can
be achieved heading towards 2020 with the
right management controls in place. These are
exciting times for the sport with considerable
growth over the last eight years. In this period
the sport has achieved strong growth from a
membership base of 6,800 to now edging 17,000
members. Additionally, our financial growth has
also been stable from an organisation facing
financial peril eight years ago to one with a
strong capital backing which will enable future
investment in development across all areas of
the business.
“
It’s imperative that BMX
Australia continues to
cement itself on the world
stage as we are currently the
second largest BMX Nation
in the world.
The current outlook for BMX Australia under the
right business plan can achieve a membership
base close to 27,000 by 2020. This is why it’s
important for BMX Australia to have a balanced
approach in it’s planning for the future.
which run at a State and National level. This
clearly shows the athlete pathways are working.
Part of the vision and the strategic plan heading
towards 2020 is set around the BMX Australia
High Performance Program (HPP) being
transitioned back in-line with the sport following
the RIO Olympics. This can only be achieved
with the right structures and providing the right
support to the current pathways for our athletes
going forward.
BMX Australia currently invests significantly to
the development of the HPP through its event
framework, the BMX Australia Development
Academy, coach, official and staff development
which significantly contributes to the desired
high performance outcomes such as World
Champions and Olympic medals. It is my opinion
there needs to be a strong emphasis on athlete
welfare going forward under the new plan. This
is a major flaw I see in the current HP program.
The Board continues to work with the
Australian Sports Commission and in line with
the set governance principals on improving the
governance of our organisation.
BMX Australia is continuing to work closely
with the City of Gold Coast Council in the
development of the BMX Australia Centre of
We need to continue to foster better partnerships
with our state organisations including future
planning making sure it meets the needs of our
members and places the sport in good stead
going forward. This may see many diverse
initiatives being developed including planning
alliances with outside partners.
It’s imperative that BMX Australia continues
to cement itself on the world stage as we are
currently the second largest BMX Nation in the
world.
I thank the Australian Sports Commission for
their continued support we have received as an
NSO (National Sporting Organisation) over the
years.
At the recent UCI World Championships held in
Rotterdam, BMX Australia held its head high and
continues to punch well above its weight delivering
many world plates. A lot of this success must
be contributed to the underpinning programs

Excellence which will provide a world class
facility aimed at developing current and future
World Champions and Olympic medallists.
Now BMX Australia has decided to tread its own
path, this along with reaching memberships
numbers outlined earlier I believe it’s timely for
the recognition of our athletes and volunteers
that BMX Australia start an expanded awards
night at the National Championships. This
event will be live steamed and there will be a
news thread supplied for “free to air” channels.
I feel these types of initiatives will boost the
exposure of athletes and volunteers to a level
they deserve.
It is my belief the sport of BMX in Australia
is in a strong position with the right
management in the areas I have outlined
previously. I can only see great things for
BMX and our athletes heading towards 2020.

To all the volunteers working throughout
the sport at all levels, I thank you for your
efforts without you our athletes would be
disadvantaged greatly.
I wish to thank my fellow Board members for
their contribution this year and in particular
I would like to thank outgoing Directors Abe
Schneider and Sally Howie for their significant
contribution over many years.

REPORT
ANDY MELLISH
Wow, what another great year for BMX in Australia!
The 2014 National Series, which was shorter than
previous years still had strong participation rates.
The five rounds of racing were held at Nerang,
Westside and finished at Shepparton and was
combined with the Continental Championships
at the National Championships raced at night
with fireworks and a flame show.
The 2014 Subaru BMX National Championships
this year was held in Shepparton, again we had
a large number of riders compete in the event.
Once again BMXA introduced new products
to the event with both a big screen and live
streaming of the event being a big success.
With the help of the Shepparton Council this
venue will only get better, something the Council
has indicated that they wish to do and want to
continue to hold events there.
“
It’s great news that after the
Rio Olympics, BMX Australia
will get its High Performance
team back under its control.
The 2013/2014 Trans Tasman Senior test team
unfortunately did not go so well with Australia
losing both test matches against the New
Zealanders in both the female and male classes.
This is the first year Australia has lost both
classes in this event and with some of our top
riders pulling out due to injury and retiring from
the sport, the 2014/2015 series will be a tough
one.
of promoter groups doing their own thing in
each state, but with the announcement at the
UCI conference at the World Championships in
Rotterdam this year that UCI have been dealing
with the Olympic committee and that Freestyle
would be in the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo,
this should help the sport come together as one.
Integration is finally off the table for BMX
Australia with BMX Australia moving to it’s own
office in Sydney. This move is for the better of
the sport of BMX in Australia.
It’s great news that after the Rio Olympics, BMX
Australia will get its High Performance team
back under its control.
I would personally like to thank Barry Knight –
BMXA President for all the hard work and long
hours he has put into the sport of BMX this year,
Barry has spent a large amount of his week days
working on getting the High Performance team
and our sport back under BMX management.
I would also like to thank the BMXA office staff
of Mark, Lauren, Tiffany and Rebecca for their
contribution to the sport of BMX.
Our sport relies on a large number of volunteers
each year from BMXA board members, State
board members, Club committee members,
officials, coaches and club volunteers. A big
thank you to you all for making our sport what
it this.

BMX EVENTS
The 2014 Subaru BMX National Championships
were once again a strong event financially. We
had the same number of riders compete in 2014
as in 2013. The investment in TV and production
increased the cost of the event however this
is an ongoing investment into the sport. Prize
money equity kicked in for the Elite classes and
there was also an increased investment into the
Awards Night.
The National Series continued to grow although
that doesn’t reflect in the dollar income due to
the fact there were only five rounds compared
to seven the previous year.
BMX AUSTRALIA
Membership levels are up on previous years
giving a strong financial result for BMXA overall.
4 month membership rates are increasing and
the BMX Mini Wheeler category is starting to
take off.
There was more investment put in to Freestyle
this year and we continue to become more
active in this area moving forward.
The Development Academy has kicked off well
and our investment in that will continue to grow.
As BMXA move into a new year our strong
financial position allows the sport to make great
strategic choices with regard to our sports
future and development.
On a personal note – this year brings to a close
my involvement in BMX. I have completed 10
years on the BMXA board and overall have
been involved at club, national & state level for
a grand total of 23 years.
It is now time to pass the baton to someone
new, and I feel I am leaving the sport in a much
stronger position financially than when I took
over as BMXA Finance Director. I have very
much enjoyed my time in BMX but now onwards
and upwards to a new stage of my life.
“
As BMXA move into a new
year our strong financial
position allows the sport to
make great strategic choices
with regard to our sports
future and development.
A big thank you to my family & long suffering
husband Alastair for their support over the
years. I wish the board of BMXA all the best for
the future and look forward to seeing it grow
even further.

There has been continual growth of the national
series over the last three years in all rounds
of the competition as we focus our efforts on
increasing the participation of national domestic
events.
Nerang BMX Club on the Gold Coast has
historically hosted the ‘series opener’ and this
year did not disappoint with riders travelling
from across the country to battle out Rounds
1 & 2 in the Queensland heat. Internationally
we had riders travel from New Zealand, Japan
and the United States which reinforces that
our domestic events meet the demands of
international competitors. Rounds 1 & 2 saw an
increase of 20% in participation from 2013 with
582 entries across the two-day event.

23 Level 2 courses over the past 12 months.
During the 2014 Subaru BMX National

GENERAL
MANAGER’S REPORT
MARK LOUIS
It gives me great pleasure to provide you my
General Managers report for the year ended 30
June 2014.
BMX Australia continues to improve its
organisational capability representing financial
strength and an effective ongoing business
plan. The trading outcome for the year shows a
combined surplus of $345,614 (BMXA: $272,740,
BMXE: $72,874) which is a pleasing result and
ahead of budget forecasts.
The net assets grew to $1.7M (2013: $1.3M) and a
turnover $1.68M. It is the goal of BMX Australia
to keep building the net financial position of
the organisation which allows us to withstand
adverse budget variances if required.
Our annual turnover excludes High Performance
Funding which is directly provided to Cycling
Australia to manage our program. We continue
to work hard with the ASC and the AIS in
transitioning our High Performance Program
back within the sport whilst maintaining the
delivery of ‘world best’ outcomes. This transition
which will conclude after the Rio Olympics and
will be a significant and historical milestone
which will see a ‘whole of sport’ structure
that will enable the delivery of our strategic
and operational plans in future years for the
betterment of the sport.

Andrew’s departure gave us the opportunity to
evaluate our role of media and communications
and it was determined that the emphasis needs
to be on obtaining increased exposure for the
sport, our events and our athletes. We have
engaged Sports Communication Australia to
provide media and communications services to
the organisation who have been working really
well and are already lifting the profile of our
sport and athletes. A huge thank you to David
Lyall and Ed Simpson for their professionalism
and sharing our vision.
The closure of this financial year also sees
significant change in that we did not renew the
Memorandum of Understanding with Cycling
Australia who was providing administrative
services to our membership in the areas of
coaching, and finance. We are still coming to
terms with the state our coach education finds
itself and will be working hard to bring it back to
a maintainable level for our members.
We continue to work to the ratified Strategic Plan
2013 – 2016 titled ‘Partnerships, Participation
and Performance’ which outlines the direction
of the organisation up to the 2016 Olympic
Games in Rio de Janeiro.

We continue to work hard

valuable time with his family. Andrew was
with the organisation for almost 3 years and
made a significant contribution to the media

PARTNERSHIPS
I thank the Australian Sports Commission for
their continued support of BMX racing and
Freestyle at both the participation and High
Performance levels. The support received from
the Australian Sports Commission is significant
and supports our capacity to grow and develop
as an organisation.
I would also like to thank Subaru for

that we are able to provide live streaming of
the event and a television broadcast through
Foxsports.
PARTICIPATION
BMX Australia continues to see consistent
membership growth with membership now
sitting just under 17,000. This continued
growth is an indicator that the sport of BMX is
something that both children and families can
relate to. The data suggests that boys and girls
aged 2 – 20 years have found BMX an appealing
and engaging sport.
The 4 month membership has continued to
provide a fantastic opportunity for those new to
our sport with 3,300 memberships for the year.
Our first full calendar with the BMX Mini Wheeler
membership category has seen many states and
clubs engage heavily and we are already seeing
some great progression from the Mini Wheeler
category up to Sprockets.

prioritised in the BMX Australia Strategic plan.
Consultation with the industry resulted in the
design and implementation of the Freestyle
BMXA Tour which is a national tour that allows
riders of all skill levels to compete in freestyle
disciplines. The tour provides event promoters
and rider’s consistency and professionalism in
all freestyle events throughout Australia.
The National Sign on Day continues to be BMX
Australia’s membership campaign to reach
people Australia wide who haven’t seen or
experienced BMX before and to hopefully get
them involved in the sport in the future. The
National Sign on Day campaign continues to
be a major strategy in promoting the sport and
BMX Australia membership.
“
The 4 month membership
has continued to provide
a fantastic opportunity for
those new to our sport with
3,300 memberships for the
year
3,000 entries participated across 6 days of the
2014 Subaru BMX National Championships in
Shepparton with riders coming from every state
and territory. Ranging in ages from 2 to 65, riders
competed in age categories determined by the
Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) along with
additional classes determined by BMX Australia
to determine 54 National Champions during

the event. This would not have been possible
without nearly 100 volunteers together with
the Greater Shepparton City Council and the
Shepparton BMX Club that helped to put on the
event.
The event continues to grow and develop and is
truly of significance as it provides an economic
impact of over $10 Million.
The event was live streamed across the world,
produced through multiple HD cameras and
GoPros from Thursday – Saturday of the event
with it being hosted through the BMXA website,
BMXA APP and the epicentre.tv website for free
together with being viewed over a big screen at
the track.
Key figures for the live streaming are as follows:
- over 70 000 total live views
- 3100 views post event
- 90 240 page views on epicentre.tv
Live streaming was also viewed by 23 countries
in addition to Australia with key international
viewers being N.Z. and U.S.A.
A post produced highlights program was aired
on Foxsports a number of times and was also
aired online free through Epicentre TV.

The event [National
Championships] continues
to grow and develop and
is truly of significance as
it provides an economic
impact of over $10 Million.
The BMX Australia National series continues to
develop. There were less rounds in 2014 however
the number of riders who registered for the event
increased. The event calendar grows across the
country and is becoming extremely congested
with the current train of thought to conduct all
events prior to the World Championships. The
Board has set up an Events Working Group to
review our current event calendar and make
recommendations on a new vibrant calendar for
a non-Olympic Year and an Olympic year.
PERFORMANCE
I would like to thank the continued great work
being undertaken by our BMX High Performance
Head Coach Wade Bootes and Assistant Coach
Paul Sales. We finish the 2014 international
season as the number 1 ranked nation in both
men’s and women’s UCI Elite categories.
Congratulations to Sam Willoughby on winning
the Elite Men World Championship in both race
and time trial. Additionally, congratulations to
Caroline Buchanan being crowned the SX World
Cup Series winner and to Anthony Dean on his
runner up for men.
There have, of course, been many other great
achievements and results this year, however the
story is better told in the pictures and words
contained within this report.
Communication
with
BMX
Australia’s
stakeholders has increased year on year and
we continue to refine existing communications
along with employing new methods. 2014 saw
the introduction of the BMX Australia APP
which is your one stop shop for all things BMX.
Please download the APP for everything from
membership , race results, social media, live TV
and archived content through BMXA TV.
Social media continues to dominate when
communicating with the BMX community
and this has been reflected in the statistics
generated across Facebook and Twitter.
Instagram has continued to be used and is now
another platform to engage and promote the
BMX community with great success.
Other key highlights over the past year included:
• The Board appointment of Anita Wells and
Paul Connors as directors
• To ensure effective, relevant and transparent
governance, the Board adopted / amended
several policies and ByLaws pertaining to
Member Protection, Disciplinary Regulations,
Lighting Policy, Integrity and Gaming Policy,
Track Guidelines and Anti Doping.
• Formation of the National technical Committee
• The development of the organisational values
– EXCELLENCE, PASSION, INTEGRITY, CARE
(EPIC)
• The appointment of Luke Madill and Sharon
Willoughby as Development Academy coaches
• National data base and website platform
• Equal prize money provided for Men and
Women at National Championships
• BMXA commenced discussions with the
ASC and AIS on the transition of our High
Performance Program back under the sport of
BMX

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There are a number of acknowledgements for
the record. I am privileged to work with an
extremely dedicated and committed Board of
Directors. Throughout the reporting period, the
Board provided leadership, governance and
strategic direction for the organisation. Barry
Knight (President / Chair) continues to lead by
example and works tirelessly; always available
to members and staff in providing council and
insisting that we ‘do things better’.
I would like to acknowledge outgoing directors
Abe Schneider and Sally Howie whom I have
been working closely with over the years. It’s
been great working with you and thank you for
your support and guidance.
There is a saying that ‘you are only as good
as the people around you’ and this is certainly
true with the BMX Australia staff. As a team,
and individually they have demonstrated
commitment,
enthusiasm,
expertise,
professionalism and a willingness to get the
job done. I personally congratulate the staff in
what can only be described as a difficult and
challenging year and reaffirm my belief that the
staff are the organisations most valuable asset.
The tireless and often thankless work of our
amazing team of volunteers needs special
mention including officials at events and club
officials. Your contribution is imperative to the
success of all our activities.

PERFORMANCE UNIT COACH REPORT
WADE BOOTES
At the end of the 2014 season, I am proud to
report that Australia is currently ranked as the
number one BMX Nation in the World for both
men’s and women’s UCI Elite categories. We also
finished with the Elite Men’s World Champion
(Sam Willoughby), the overall SX World cup
Series Champion in women (Caroline Buchanan)
and the runner’s up for men (Anthony Dean).
“
The HP Program looks
forward to the inclusion
of the new BMX Australia
Development Academy
which will assist riders to
develop towards the BMXA
HP Program in the future.
The HP program riders are continuing to
demonstrate they are performing against the
World’s best riders at international competitions.
We have 4 riders (Sam Willoughby, Anthony
Dean, Caroline Buchanan and Melinda McLeod)
medalling at UCI SX World Cup / World
Championship level and Lauren Reynolds with
the potential to medal by qualifying in a SX World
Cup final. Bodi Turner and Rachel Jones have both
made the semi-finals at recent SX World Cups.
The third quarter also saw big periods of travel
between the World Championships in Europe,
SX rounds in Argentina and USA. During this
time the HP Program managed to gain access to
the 2015 UCI BMX World Championship track in
Belgium, the SX tracks in Buenos Aires and USA
for camps prior to the events. A site visit was
also scheduled to the Rock Hill SX facility which
will host the 2015 UCI SX World Cup and 2017
World Championships in South Carolina, USA.
During the first quarter of this year, the HP
Program continued to provide development
opportunities for the BMXA squad members
via domestic SX camps to identify potential
athletes through the National Performance
Standards (NPS). This has proven to be a
successful formula which we can align with the
new scholarship evaluation periods.
The extended periods away allowed for greater
engagement with the HP Program athletes as it
is infrequent that we are all together. Discussions
and plans for the 2015 season are progressing
well as we work on finding the best solutions for
a challenging year ahead. We will continue to
explore optimal ways to increase individual rider’s
personal best performances through our High
Performance environment on the Gold Coast,
through our increased service support network.
During these camps we cater for key
elements for the athletes to excel on the
domestic and international stage. Over the
period of these camps, the HPU squad riders
identified five values that they will strive to
align their behaviours around: pride, respect,
professionalism, excellence and communication;
to form a strong BMX team environment.
The second quarter was a massive period of
traveling and racing due to the international SX
schedule. The HP Program invited some of the
top domestic riders from the BMXA Probikx series
to experience a European Tour as a part of their
development process. The athletes performed
well within the European series by qualifying
through to finals and collecting a few podiums.
As we have continued to expand our
relationships with international coaches and
programs, we have gained valuable track time
on UCI SX World Cup tracks during this period.
Collaborating with international programs has
been beneficial in allowing HP athlete’s from
different Nations to train together and creating a
performance environment that all elite coaches
strive for.
2015 BMXA HP PROGRAM
INTERNATIONAL RACE SCHEDULE
The HP Program looks forward to the inclusion of
the new BMX Australia Development Academy
which will assist riders to develop towards the
BMXA HP Program in the future.
2015 will again challenge the BMXA HP Program
with varying travel and race schedules of our
athletes. Strategies are being put in place to
make the most of all opportunities for each
athlete worldwide, with HP objectives in mind

not only just one athlete or staff member that
makes this possible. Together as a team, we have
achieved amazing results in 2014 and we will all
strive to be better again individually during 2015.

The HP Program will exhaust all opportunities to
continue to support athletes to deliver sustained
international results at major events for
Australia. The future will be exciting as we work
on developing the riders to trust in themselves,
to execute what they know, consistently
on the international stage for Australia.
Thank you for your continued support of
the High Performance Program. Please feel
free to contact me if you have any questions

ACADEMY REPORT
SHARON WILLOUGHBY
The BMX Academy in 2014 started with 2x
14G, 1x14B, 2x15G, 2x15G, 2x16G and 2x16B who
attended a camp at Nerang and was increased
with an additional 1x14G and 1x16B in round 3
of the national series at Westside WA. A Pre
World’s Camp was held at Penrith using the
LMX track. The BMX Academy riders stayed in
cabins at Nepean Shores with the female Jnr
Elite riders who were competing in the World
Championships in Rotterdam. The Jnr Elite men
stayed in the cabin at the LMX track.
Luke and I worked together to prepare the riders
for the World Championships and international
travel and routines. This was the first time many
of these riders had travelled on their own to
Europe to compete. The riders bonded as a team
and worked together to support each other both
on the camp and in Rotterdam.
Millie Reed – 14 G (VIC)
Millie is 7A and finished 3rd in the National Series.
Millie attended all of the camps except PreWorld’s Camp. Millie has grown throughout the
year and appreciated the experience of being
part of the BMX Academy. She communicated
well and followed instructions provided to her.
Mikayla Rose – 14G (ACT)
Mikayla is 3A and finished 1st in the National
Series and was a semi-finalist at the Worlds.
Mikayla joined the Academy in round 3 at WA.
She was excited to be invited into the Academy
and worked hard to achieve her best at all times.
Mikayla is part of Caroline’s Next Gen Team and
attended the Pre World’s Team prior to flying
out to Rotterdam with her father. Unfortunately
Mikayla has recently broken her ankle and is not
able to compete in the Trans Tasman Test Team.
Shelby Green – 14 G (QLD)
Shelby is 3W and 2A, she was unable to qualify
in the National Series due to a broken elbow in
December. Shelby attended all camps despite
her injury in January and worked hard to prepare
herself for the National and World Championships.
The wires in her elbow were removed the week
after she arrived home from the Worlds.
Nathaniel Rodway – 14B (NSW)
Nathaniel is 2A and a quarter finalist at the
Worlds in Rotterdam. Nathaniel did not qualify
for the National Series due to a broken thumb
which caused him to miss rounds 3 and 4 in WA.
Nathaniel benefited from being in the Academy
and competing in the World Championships this
year. He is young and will be able to hold his own
as he develops more strength.
Sara Jones – 15G (QLD)
Sara is currently 1A and 2nd in the National
Series, she was unable to compete in the world
championships due to a knee injury and collapsed
lung at Sleeman just prior to the Pre World’s
Camp. Sara is strong a very competitive rider.
Dion Bromley - 15G (QLD)
Dion is 3W, 3A and 3rd in the Nationals Series.
Dion displayed enormous growth throughout
the season. She communicated well about her
training and worked hard on developing her
strength and skills. Dion has a strong group of
girls to race in the National Series and focussed
on closing the gap every time she competed
against them.
Dylan Scruton – 15B (QLD)
Dylan is 2A and 2nd in the National Series. Dylan
injured his shoulder in a race requiring it to be
pinned just prior to the World Championships,
however, he still attended the Pre World’s Camp
to learn as much as he could and to support his
team mates prior to their departure to Rotterdam.
Dylan is a skilled rider who has improved his
organisation and independence skills through
being part of the BMX Academy.
Jake Bowe – 15B (QLD)
Jake is currently 8A, 3rd in the National Series
and won his motos at the World Championships.
Jake is relatively new to the sport of BMX and
attended all of the camps except the Pre World’s
Camp due to him departing earlier and travelling
with his father to the Worlds. Jake is a keen
and enthusiastic rider who asks questions and
applies every piece of information provided to
him. Jake works hard to develop his skills and has
experienced difficulty in this area due to a lack of
facilities and the impact of poor weather in Cairns.
I believe he is a rider who would have benefited
more by attending the Pre World’s Camp and
travelling with the team to Rotterdam. Jake is
organised, mature and determined to improve.

as a result of the junior and elite riders being
introduced following the 2014 Subaru BMX
National Championships.
Leanna Kurtis - 2nd at 2014 Subaru BMX National
Championships. Injured since.
I have been working with the riders in different
support aspects. Some riders are in contact on a
weekly basis, others have their own supporting
structures and Coaches. 2014 has also seen me
working closely with BMXA in regaining the
management of the HP Team.
Dirk Winter - 6th National Series. Motos at
Worlds.
This included weekly conversations with Barry
Knight, Mark Louis and Anita Wells to supply
them with as much information as possible to
help rebuild the pathway for our sport.
Jacinta Pink - 5th National Series. Taking a break
from BMX.
Blake Moore - 8th National Series. 1/4 final at
Worlds.

and providing coaching support at the World
Championships. We were able to achieve all
outcomes that were set for theses initiatives
and I would like to thank everyone involved who
helped make them successful.
Shane Rosa - 5th National series, Motos at Worlds
Post World Championships, I have been a part
of helping to develop new pathways within BMX.
In particular, helping in the areas of forming a
new tiered rider system and setting up a testing

hoping to save riders travel time and finances.
At these Training Camps we can finally get some
testing data on the riders to create them a more
specific training program.
Final results and support for our elite riders in
2014 are as follows:
From the BMXA Shadow Squad Camp
- we saw three girls head to the World
Championships and step up to the challenge.
Ashleigh Gunn - Motos.
Rachelle Smith - 5th Final.
With the limited support leading into the

The other two riders from the Academy I work
with on a weekly basis are:
Mikayla Rose - 14 Girls 1st National Series. Semi
Final at Worlds (currently injured).
Andrew Hughes - 16 Boys 1st National Series, 2nd

ACT BMX has had an up and down year with
memberships, a few old faces have unfortunately
left, but with that come the promise of new
families arriving with fresh ideas and healthy
motivation that can only benefit the sport.
Although Caroline was sadly unable to defend
her title at the World Championships, she was
able to claim the World Supercross crown and
in doing so contributed to the National points
total, a major highlight for 2014.
We are always looking at ways of gaining new
memberships; with techniques such as Try BMX
for Free events proving to be successful, however
we are still suffering the age-old problem of
trying to then keep them in the sport.
Ultimately it is our aim for ACT BMX to become
more prosperous, and to work actively with
Government in an effort to secure new or
upgraded facilities.
This loss of people is a challenge we are working
with the clubs to overcome, particularly with a
major component of our club committees being
made up of individuals with a short number of
years in the sport.
Although the ACT BMX State team is a small
team, it has still been a relatively successful year
in 2014, with podium finishes at the National
Championships by three of our girls, two
National Series winners, while another of our
girls was crowned champion in four states.
Locally Caroline Buchanan, Mikayla Rose
and Evan and Felicia Thomas have all been
recognised through the ACT Sport ‘Sportstar’
Monthly awards for their achievements this
year. This is not a small undertaking considering
there are 58 sports represented in the ACT,
particularly during a Commonwealth games
year when our athletes managed nine monthly
awards between them for 2013/14 reporting
year.
We also aim to once again hold a successful
ACTBMX Championships to showcase the depth
of talent and involvement the ACT can produce
even in the face of financial and infrastructural
adversity.
Finally we will aim to maintain our relationship
with Capital Cycling, a partnership we are
particularly proud of.
“
Ultimately it is our aim for
ACT BMX to become more
prosperous, and to work
actively with Government in
an effort to secure new or
upgraded facilities.
We would like to acknowledge and thank
the work of state coach Miekel Rose, who is
stepping aside from the role he has held for
four years. Miekel has been instrumental in the
establishment of the ACTBMX State Team and
the training of the team since 2011.
We are confident that Miekel will leave behind
a last legacy, forged during countless hours
spent creating inventive training programs for
ACT State Team that has seen some impressive
athlete results achieved.
Though Miekel will be sadly missed, we wish
him all the best outside of the limelight, and the
extra time he will have to concentrate on his
two children.

From a membership perspective, we are excited
about a number of several new clubs that are
currently in the pipeline, namely Menai, and
Port Macquarie whilst Moree opened several
weeks ago. These new clubs provide a fantastic
indication of the growing strength of our sport
throughout NSW, and we will ultimately provide
them with continued support to ensure they
succeed.
There has been a heavy investment by clubs
in their facilities during 2014, with plans for
further development in an effort to increase
the standard across the state, and attract new
members to our sport. Specifically Penrith are
planning a new five-meter start hill, Bathurst
is planning construction of a Supercross style
facility at Mt Panorama, while many other tracks
have begun tarring their corners. Overall this is
a pleasing improvement in facilities state-wide,
however it is important to note that further work
is required if we are to continually challenge
riders with increasingly difficult tracks.
“
Our state titles continue to
grow each year, and it is
encouraging to see that our
state series also continue
to attract new competitors,
specifically we are now
averaging 550 riders per
event, whilst opens average
450 riders per event.
Our state titles continue to grow each year,
and it is encouraging to see that our state
series also continue to attract new competitors,
specifically we are now averaging 550 riders
per event, whilst opens average 450 riders per

to the consistency the events now provide in
terms of entries, pricing, classes, race format,
practice times, the running of event and awards
standardization. This consistency has been
being well received by both riders and clubs.
We now have an encouraging number of Level 2
Officials, who now officiate each round of our
State Series, whilst Level 1 Officials provide
them with support. This hands on learning role
environment ensures that there is a consistent
flow of competent officials coming through our
systems, and provides consistency across NSW.
The level of coaching across the state also

at each round of the Crackerjack and Dynamites
series (in conjunction with State Series) for
current or future squad members. We also have
a coaching team in place for the Australian
championships, and are currently in the process
of revamping our State Squad procedure, and
will now be supporting all rounds of the National
Series.
One of our major developments this year has
been the Mighty 11s/Test Team, with the Junior
test team now undertaking two camps prior to
the June leg and one camp prior to the October
trip. Management of this program has been
ramped up to a professional standard and the
parents and riders are experiencing a greatly
improved experience based on the excellent
work of Peter Jaehne and Lorraine Dunkley.
Our key objectives moving forward to continue
the development of our coaching and officials
in an effort to increase the standard of BMX
across the state, and lay a strong foundation for
future success.
There will also be a significant focus on the
development of teams to handle a variety of
roles across all our events, this is in response
to the need to eliminate single points of failure
that have impacted upon the success of our
events this year.

The National Come & Try Days were central
to our membership strategies and were very
effective, with both Satellite City & Jingili
reported attendance rates of over 100 people
each, while Red Centre also had a good turnout.
There was excellent media coverage, which has
contributed to a steady rate of new participants
throughout the season. Special mention must
go to Satellite City BMX Club who conducted
a second come & try day later in the year that
was equally successful. Participation has also
been extremely encouraging in Darwin, with
race meetings regularly attended by 160 to 200
participants.
In some less fortunate news, the decision to
close the refinery in Nhulunbuy has caused
some major changes to the community,
with many families having left to find other
employment. There is still a core group of
committed members involved with maintaining
the operation of the club. Unfortunately whilst
this club had been scheduled to host the 2015
NTBMX titles, it has since informed us that they
will not be in a position to host the event.
In relation to new clubs seeking affiliation, Big
Rivers BMX club in Katherine is making some
headway, and are nearly complete in their
affiliation documentation, while Groote Eylandt
BMX club who were seeking affiliation, have
had some changes in key people and are in the
process of reorganising.
The major infrastructure undertaking this
year has been the building of a new roof over
the Jingilli track, and much of our time and
energy has been directed towards completing
the project this year. This project has been a
massive under taking, and it’s gratifying to
reach the point where regular race meetings
and practice sessions are now being held under
the magnificent facility.
The Ahrens Arena roof project at the Jingili
BMX Club was officially opened in July, and was
ultimately made possible with support from the
Federal and Northern Territory Governments.
The club has gone through some major changes,
and the committee has done a fantastic job
of fund raising and completing the huge
workload to get the facility race ready. They are
now consolidating their current position and
planning what is required to host major events
going forward.
The Red Centre BMX Club did an exemplary job
hosting the NT Titles and followed up the event
by hosting the BMX events as part of the Alice
Springs Masters games.

We are also working on a
feasibility study and budget
for hosting a round of the
BMX Australia National series
in 2016, in an effort to attract

BMX Queensland once again happily supported
BMX Australia and the National sign on day in
February 2014. This year BMX Queensland also
joined in partnership with BMX International to
offer a “BMX Starter Pack” and a “Redline Bike
package” aimed at our new members joining
through the National sign on day, and also to
our current and existing members. This package
has assisted BMX Queensland in encouraging
the growth of our sport, and has been continued
throughout 2014 to assist new and existing
members throughout Queensland.
The popularity of BMX in Queensland has
continued to strengthen on the back of
Queensland riders achieving great results at
National and World Championships. Such results
are a great reward for those riders, parents,
coaches and volunteers that in some way give up
their time endlessly to make this sport happen,
and can only serve to inspire the next generation
of BMX riders in this state.
The Board of BMX Queensland has implemented
some new volunteer roles to help assist the
current volunteers striving to improve and
support the zones and clubs at a grassroots level.
“
BMXQ would like to focus on
generating a strong brand, end
product and maximising social
media opportunities as this
presents a good platform for
future sponsors.
In another positive initiative, the Coaching
Director and the State Coach applied for funding
through Sport & Rec to help assist in setting
up an eight week training program designed to
help and assist our grassroots level riders and
coaches throughout Queensland. This funding
was successfully obtained, and the initiative is
currently ongoing.
BMX Queensland continues to support, guide
and produce assistance and materials for our
riders, members and volunteers on a variety of
areas including athlete development, coaching
camps/clinics, coaching/officiating courses and
workshops throughout the year. In this period
we have provided six coaching clinics for our
members to participate and gain experience.
BMX Queensland has had another official here in
Queensland recently pass his UCI Commissaire
accreditation and we wish Paul Connors every
happiness and joy for the journey ahead. In
total we currently now have four approved
UCI Commissaires living in Queensland. There
has been a fantastic increase in officials and
volunteer memberships since November 2013 the
standings were 609 and now 898 as of August
2014, comprised of 762 level 1’s, 108 level 2’s and
28 level 3’s. Central to this success has been
BMXQ’s determination to support its members
with knowledge via regularly ran courses that
ultimately provide our officials and volunteers
with a pathway to follow if they would like to
progress further within this area of our sport.
Our key objectives moving forward are to
continue to support and assist the membership
growth of the sport of BMX by assisting all
members in any way possible, whether it be
coaching clinics, improving athlete access to
other support networks or by assisting members
through general information.
We also plan to build on corporate structure
and governance for our region, zones and clubs,
which are also supported and guided by the CPR
Group. The CPR group have had face to face
visits with some club and zone committees all
over the state this year. Michael and Steve have
assisted with cloud-based information portals
which is designed to help keep some consistency
in each club and to help in the management
of documentation. Subsequently BMXQ will
endeavour to continue its partnership with the
CPR Group.
Another overall objective is to maintain a steady
increase in the number of officials that we have
accredited. In addition we need to ensure that
we capture and foster any potential officials that
would like to reach National and International
accreditation.
Finally BMXQ would like to focus on generating a
strong brand, end product and maximising social
media opportunities as this presents a good
platform for future sponsors.
BMX Queensland would like to sincerely thank the
Queensland Department of Sport & Recreation
for their continued support, the CPR Group for
their continued guidance and assistance over
the last five years, and LKI & DK for their support
of the sport of BMX. Lastly to our members a
special thank you for their continued support

From a membership perspective, there has
been an encouraging increase in the number of
members per club over the past twelve months,
which gives a great indication as to the strength
of BMX in the state.
The number of Mini Wheelers continues to
increase, with some clubs in particular showing
strong growth numbers in this age group. The
division is now offered at every club, state and
regional event, and has been a contributing
factor in the growth levels registered.
We have also had a large contingent of 5, 6
and 7 year old riders choosing to travel to all
the state events across South Australia, and
has greatly improved these competitions. Such
encouraging interest across the young age
groups helps to set a strong foundation for the
quality of South Australian racing in the future.
The introduction of a monthly president meeting
has been a successful initiative, and helps to
communicate directly to the clubs about the
running and progress of BMX in South Australia.
This has included an open door policy that
has resulted in each of the clubs being more
accountable, and ensures that each club is
following policies and procedures at their club
race meetings. This has helped to improve the
standard of event management at club level, as
well as at state and regional events.
There has also been a major change in coaching
following a significant restructuring by BMXSA.
A State Coach has now been appointed, whilst
the training process across all squads has also
been changed. Each squad is now coached
fortnightly on alternating weeks, which allows all
riders of all abilities access to quality coaching,
ultimately helping them progress down the elite
pathway that was established three years ago in
South Australia.
We have found that this process has also helped
broaden the depth of coaching in the state, as
well as helping to build the confidence of our
beginner coaches, through our level one and
experienced coaches.
Our key objective moving forward is to continue
the progress of the elite pathway program, as it
provides tremendous benefit to all our riders, as
well as developing the depth and knowledge of
all our officials throughout the BMX community.
“
The Mini Wheeler division is
now offered at every club,
state and regional event,
and has been a contributing

continue to utilise the knowledge of our state
Level 3 officials in helping to train/mentor our
Level 1 & 2 officials during every club, state and
regional race events.
I would like to thank all the life members,
parents/guardians and competitors for making

competitive, fun environment to be involved in.
I would also like to thank the club presidents

BMX Tasmania’s strategy in 2014/2015 is to
continue to increase the number of riders we
have in the sport, and to generate increased
public awareness of BMX in Tasmania by holding
more come and try clinics across the state.
It is our view that more public awareness will be
critical in the success of BMX moving forward,
because unfortunately BMX has become the
forgotten sport here in Tasmania.
Coaching has been a main focus of ours this
year, as we attempt to raise the standard across
the state, and will continue to be a major focus
in 2015. It’s important to note that whilst we
endeavour to help facilitate great coaching,
only having one accredited coach within the
state has proven very difficult, and is a problem
we will aim to rectify for next year.
“
Our biggest highlight of
the year however, has been
the 300% increase in riders
competing at this year’s
Nationals, where our riders
were able to bring home five
plates.
Increased numbers in our state titles this year
has occurred as a result of changing our dates

motivation to increase those numbers next year,
and to hopefully generate more success.
We have a number of key objectives we aim to
achieve for 2015, as mentioned coaching will
remain central to our plans moving forward as
we aim to obtain a minimum of three coaches
per club. This will provide our riders with the
best chance of success and to ensure that
quality, consistent coaching is been delivered
across all clubs.
Our other key objective for 2015 is to increase
the public awareness of BMX across Tasmania
particularly amongst the youth, and is an
initiative that will be critical to the success of
and longevity of our clubs and the sport of BMX
in this state. We aim to generate this exposure

With the help of funding received from VicHealth,
BMX Victoria is developing programs to
encourage the growth of female participation in
the sport. Currently the membership split is 79%
male and 21% female, so we have highlighted
this as a significant growth area.
In order to encourage this growth we have
outlined the following processes, which include
providing clubs with training and information
on how to create promotional materials that
are accessible for attracting women and girls to
BMX.
In conjunction all new or re- accredited coaches
will be required to undertake harassment and
discrimination training, as well as helping to
develop information for club and coaches on
increasing female participation in BMX.
of our novice and expert classes in the State
Series, combined with the ongoing popularity
of BMX Australia’s 4 month license, has played
a significant role in encouraging newcomers to
the sport, and their participation in large open
race meetings.

From an event standpoint,
the BMXV Junior State Series
held in the first half of the
year continues to grow, with
the average number of riders
at individual rounds
increasing significantly from
around 250 per round to 400
per round.
As a result, for the first time in living memory
BMX Victoria has been able, with the aid of
State government funding, to employ a fulltime Administrator, Shannon Ryan, to support
the Board and the administration of the sport.
Although BMX Victoria’s membership has
increased every year over the last decade, to the
point where there are now over 1200 members.
However the sport continues to be run in the
same unprofessional manner that it was in 2005
when there were only around 500 members.

Other membership initiatives have included
our involvement with the Victorian School’s

The introduction, and subsequent separation
In order to rectify this, the BMXV Board
structure has been changed since the last
AGM to introduce directors from outside of the
sport who have particular skills that we need
to improve our governance procedures. To
this end we have co-opted Jo Jericho, a senior
marketer with one of Australia’s major brewers,
and Paul Czarnota, a solicitor with wide-ranging
experience in legal matters in Australia and the
USA.
Another key objective moving forward is to
improve the standard of tracks across the state.
Far too few Victorian tracks are challenging
enough to reach the standard required to attract
National events. BMXV is actively promoting
the benefits to Local Government Authorities of
supporting major track upgrades to make them
eligible for major State events and the ability to
tender for National events.

BMXWA have been assisting a number of clubs
in their grant applications for major works and
track redevelopments to commence in 2015.
For 2014 BMXWA have continued the initiative
of volunteer recognition for our volunteers at
both club and state level. We understand that
without the help of volunteers we would not be
able to operate.
Each month we ask clubs to submit a name to be
in the draw for WA Volunteer of the month, the
winner receives a $100 voucher and certificate
to be presented by the club. In conjunction with
the monthly draw, all clubs are required to put
in one name of a volunteer that has contributed
throughout the year to go into a final draw,
and can be one of the monthly volunteers or
someone different. The winner received a full

BMXWA. At the end of 2013/2014 Super Series
Season year all the volunteer names were placed
into the draw to win a full year of Super Series

Coaches meant some of our athletes were able
to learn and experience what it’s like to train and
practice at the elite level. The BMXWA Board
have also agreed to continue the support for
the upcoming season of 2014/15, with Nathan
Schmiedte appointed as State HP Coach.
BMX Mini Wheelers continues to achieve great
success at the club level, and refinement of the
format has seen this grow to a legitimate class
in 16 clubs throughout the state. To date WA
has 78 registered Mini Wheelers participating
in all rounds of the Super Series and will also
be featured at the State Championships in
Southside. Of note is the specially designed Mini
Wheeler start gate, which holds four riders and
comes complete with a foot controlled starting
mechanism.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared in order to satisfy the financial report
preparation requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 (ACT). The committee has determined
that the association is not a reporting entity. BMX Australia Inc. is a not-for-profit entity for the purpose of
preparing the financial statements on the basis that the Constitution of the Association prevents it from
making distributions to members.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs, which do not
take into account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current valuations of noncurrent assets.
The financial report was approved by the committee as at the date of the committees' report.
The following specific accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless otherwise
stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this report:
(a) Revenue
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.
Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking in to account the
interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Insurance revenue is recognised upon the invoice being issued.
Membership fees and licenses, and other revenue are recognised when payment is received.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(b) Contributions - Government Grants and Donations
A non-reciprocal contribution or grant is recognised when the association obtains control of the
contribution or grant and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the amount
of the contribution or grant can be measured reliably. If conditions attached to the contribution or grant
that must be satisfied before the association is eligible to receive the contribution, recognition of
contribution or income is deferred until those conditions are met. When the entity receives grants but is
obliged to give directly approximately equal value to the contributor, recognition of grant income will be
deferred until the delivery of service.
A non-reciprocal donation is recognised when the right to receive a donation has been established.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity
of three months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are
shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated over their estimated useful lives commencing
from the time the asset is held ready for use.
(e) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised but are tested annually for impairment in accordance
with AASB 136. Assets subject to annual depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or circumstances arise that indicates that the carrying amount of the asset may be
impaired.
An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in
use.
The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from
the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to
present values in determining recoverable amounts.
(f) 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 out flow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be
reliably measured.
(g) Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic
substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(g) Leases (Continued)
Operating leases
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor,
are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Lease incentives received under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straightline basis over the life of the lease term.
(h) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits expected
to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on
remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The expected cost of shortterm employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual leave is recognised in the
provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as
payables.
(ii) Long-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities arising in respect of long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within
twelve months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash
outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
Employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities if the entity does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of
when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(i) 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 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
statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
(j) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with
current year disclosures.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared for use by the directors and members of
the company. The directors have determined that the company is not a reporting entity. BMX Events
Australia Pty Ltd is a not-for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements on the basis
that it is prevent by its Constitution from make distributions to members.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs, which do not
take into account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current valuations of noncurrent assets.
The following specific accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless otherwise
stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this report:
(a) Revenue
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods
have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be
measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of
delivery of the goods to the customer.
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.
Nominations revenue is recognised when payment is received.
Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking in to account the
interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(b) Contributions - Government Grants and Donations
A non-reciprocal contribution or grant is recognised when the entity obtains control of the contribution or
grant and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the amount of the
contribution or grant can be measured reliably. If conditions attached to the contribution or grant that
must be satisfied before the entity is eligible to receive the contribution, recognition of contribution or
income is deferred until those conditions are met.
A non-reciprocal donation is recognised when the right to receive a donation has been established.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity
of three months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are
shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Inventories
Inventories held for sale are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated over their estimated useful lives commencing
from the time the asset is held ready for use.
(f) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised but are tested annually for impairment in accordance
with AASB 136. Assets subject to annual depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or circumstances arise that indicates that the carrying amount of the asset may be
impaired.
An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in
use.
The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from
the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to
present values in determining recoverable amounts.
(g) Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic
substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.
Operating leases
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor,
are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Lease incentives received under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straightline basis over the life of the lease term.
