How We Service Sport
Strategy Development
Significant experience in developing a strategic vision for sport including organisational strategies, strategies for whole of sport, climate sustainability plans, facility strategies, participation strategies, and growth strategies.
Feasibility Strategies
One of our core competencies is understanding how sport connects to government and justifies future facilities. We support studies into indoor and outdoor facilities, embracing in-depth community and stakeholder consultation and benchmarking against state, regional, and international approaches.
Sports Surfaces
If Government decides to externalise facility management, it is important to create a vision of the service and articulate the impact the service can make. It is critical the strategy should lead the function. With over 40 years’ experience in the UK and Australia, our process embraces many global quality, community, and procurement frameworks to ensure best practice is delivered locally and focuses on:
- Impact – articulating what short, medium and long-term success looks like
- Service delivery – identifying who the service is targeting in the community within the centre and the municipality and clearly articulating community impacts
- Management best practice – embracing the Australian Quality Framework and eight other “Best Practice” models around people, planning, technology, customer focus, asset management, finance and operations to provide confidence, compliance and impact
The global recognition for our work in the strategic planning, design, procurement, and management of sports surfaces has allowed us to complete more projects than all of our contemporaries combined. We provide a ‘One Stop Shop’ with engineers, surveyors, and landscape architects.
With over $200 million worth of projects over the past 15 years across Australia we bring the latest global knowledge and design to projects. This includes embracing the latest environmental sustainability principles into the design, procurement and management of the fields of play.
