As can be seen the growth in Community Benefit donations continues to grow every year —
the latest increase from 2017/18 to 2018/19 being 4.2%.

In the correspondence received from Kerni Coyle dated 26 October, 2018 she states;

       "Council acknowledges that the Club is an important part of the Tewantin Noosa
       Community and that it makes a contribution in Cash and Kind to the community.
       While a portion of this funding may be sourced from Gaming Revenue, it is well
       recognised and established that Electronic Gaming Machines have signOcant social
       and economic impacts on communities and for this reason this should be carefully
       managed and regulated."

In regard to Ms Coyle's comment relating to Gaming Revenue being a portion of the source
of community funding, we wish to emphasise that it is actually a large portion of community
funding that is sourced from Gaming Revenue. As such for the Club to be able to continue to
maintain its ability to provide these benefits, it needs to be able to grow its gaming offering as
the community develops and grows.

Again, we reference Ms Coyle's comment above, and we agree with her statement that the
impacts of EGMs on the community need to be carefully managed and regulated and this is
exactly what is done at TNRSL under the very intense scrutiny of the OLGR.

The commentary from Ms Coyle regarding social and economic impacts implies that the
careful management and regulation will be achieved by controlling the number of EGMs
available (which Council is attempting to do through the current DA condition), however, this
is only a part of the consideration. The club's day to day management-coupled with its
responsible provision of gaming and liquor services and compliance with regulatory
obligations is what ensures that the harm is minimised and controlled. (It could be suggested
that the irresponsible management of twenty EGMs would potentially have a more negative
impact on a community, than the responsible management of 220 EGMs!)
