6.1 Participation projects 2015
Attached are state association submissions for 2015. The OA Board assessed these and determined that:
1. ONSW proposals, while worthy, greatly exceeded the budget available and so ONSW needs to prioritise which projects have greatest merit in terms of outcome KPIs in 2015 and whether costs can be scaled back.
2. OACT proposals:
i. for an equipment coordinator and beginners coach coordinator at all events were outside the scope of ASC funding, and almost universally done on a voluntary basis for the 1200 events organised throughout Australia each year;
ii. for a Map ready program fell instead within the scope of ASC Sporting Schools funding when the Sporting Schools program commences.
Therefore OACT should consider alternate proposals to increase participation of juniors and people in other age groups.
3. OSA proposals: Beginner course program but check needed on Ab initio program to see whether this may be duplicating or overlapping with plans to deliver Sporting Schools orienteering.
4. Other proposals: Approved in principle. Cost estimates for need firming up for a number of the national projects.
A spreadsheet summarising a draft budget is in table 1.
