About

EWA is striving to maintain the State Equestrian Centre (SEC) as a first-class facility for the WA Equestrian community. EWA has a good relationship with the Australian Government and has been successful over the years in receiving capital works funding for the SEC which has allowed for both capital improvements and major repairs. As EWA receives no external funding on a recurrent basis to support the maintenance and development of the centre, the SEC Facility Levy was introduced in 2017 to create a user pay system to reduce the need for EWA members to indirectly subsidise those who frequently use the facility.

Paying the Levy

• The Facility Levy is only applicable to events. Patrons visiting the centre for private arena bookings, private cross-country bookings, stables/camping, trail riding or clinics are not required to pay the Levy.
• Event organisers that hire the SEC will be required to collect the Facility Levies and Ground Service Fees (GSF) with the entries to their event.
• All event participants will need to be charged a $15.00 per horse per day Facility Levy.
• Non-EWA members will also need to be charged a $20 per horse per day Ground Service Fee (GSF) in addition to the Facility Levy. 

Example: 1 EWA Competitor with 1 Horse

Example: 1 Non-EWA Competitor with 2 Horses

The projects complete using Facility Levy funds will be identified to the members as they are planned and completed. EWA liaise with clubs, competitors and members to identify other areas that can be included on the project list for the Levy to be allocated to.
