What does the development of sport mean?

The term “development” encompasses any or all activities reasonably deemed to be supportive or beneficial to an organisation or individual and their ability to participate or engage in sport. 



While there is no general consensus on the definition of sport, it is the ASF’s position to start with the ordinary, dictionary meaning of the word “sport”: 



An activity pursued for exercise or pleasure, usually requiring some degree of physical prowess. 



Where the nature of an activity is unclear, the ASF may also take into consideration guidance on the meaning of sport in Australian Taxation Office (ATO) Rulings, and by the Australian Government in its Policy documents, such as Sport 2030, and the National Sports Plan.
