The Minister for Liquor, Gaming and Racing decided in 2000 that ClubGRANTS should have a broad consultative and advisory process, based on the establishment of Local Committees in which qualifying clubs and key community service agencies would participate. ClubGRANTS Local Committees have been established on the basis of Local Government (council) areas (LGAs) and have a core membership of:

• Representative/s of ClubGRANTS qualifying clubs;
• Representative/s of the local council;
• Representative/s of the Department of Family and Community Services (FaCS);
• Representative/s of the Council of Social Service of NSW (NCOSS) or a major local or regional affiliate of NCOSS; and
• Representative/s of the local Aboriginal community where appropriate.

A ClubGRANTS Local Committee must be formed in LGAs where the club(s) have a combined Category 1 liability that is greater than $30,000. Voluntary Local Committees can also be formed, in line with the Guidelines, in LGAs where the liability is below $30,000, if all parties agree.

The key roles, responsibilities and operational procedures of ClubGRANTS Local Committees are clearly outlined in the ClubGRANTS Guidelines. Additional resources for Local Committees are available for download below.
