Christmas Day Celebration Lunch
Each year local Churches combine to provide a hot Christmas Lunch for those less fortunate on the Tweed. STS has supported this for many years with donations of roast vegies, leg hams and cash support. Sadly the numbers are growing with over 500 people assisted last year.
We donate 500 serves of roast vegies and a cash donation to assist.

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT EXPENDITURE (CDSE) SCHEME
The Community Development and Support Expenditure (CDSE) Scheme is designed to ensure that larger registered clubs in NSW contribute to the provision of front-line services to their local communities; and to ensure that the disadvantaged in the community are better positioned to benefit from the substantial contributions made by those clubs.
The Gaming Machine Tax Act 2001 outlines the legislative arrangements for the granting of a rebate of gaming machine tax levied on registered clubs. Under the Act, a tax rebate is made available to registered clubs of up to 1.5% of their gaming machine profits over $1 million provided that the Liquor Administration Board (LAB) is satisfied that an equivalent amount has been applied to expenditure on community development
and support.
The Act authorises the Minister to publish guidelines that determine what constitutes the
application of profits for CDSE purposes.
In these guidelines, the gaming machine tax rebate of 1.5% of gaming machine profits
over $1 million is referred to as the “CDSE liability”.
In the Act, a distinction is made between two classes of expenditure:
Category 1: Expenditure on specific community welfare and social services, community development, community health services and employment assistance activities
Category 2: Expenditure on other community development and support services.
To qualify for the gaming machine tax rebate of 1.5%, clubs must contribute at least 50% of those funds to Category 1 purposes, with the remainder allocated to Category 2 purposes.
Category 1 expenditure in excess of 50% may be used to cover shortfalls in Category 2, but the reverse does not apply.
As a general rule, it is important that funding preference is not given to projects or services that can be readily assisted by an existing Government funding program.
