The purpose of this report is to advise on the results of the ‘Applying for grants from Gambling (‘pokies’) Societies 2013’ Survey (the survey). This constitutes the environmental scan of the community for the ‘GMP vs. Grants in Manukau City’ project (the project).
The intent of the survey was to gauge what the gaming machine funding environment is like for community and charity organisations (organisations) in the area covered by the Manukau Ward and Manurewa Local Board (selected area).
It is envisioned that this environmental scan combined with the separate environmental scan of gambling societies, will provide the Department of Internal Affairs (the Department) with an understanding of the gaming machine funding environment in the selected area. This will better inform any initiatives that are developed.
