VenuesWest has launched its Strategic Plan 2022 – 2027: Vibrant precincts connecting people to world class sport and entertainment experiences.
The plan was launched at a recent stakeholder function, held at Optus Stadium and attended by around 70 of the state’s key figures in the sport and entertainment industries.
VenuesWest has a clear vision to steer the organisation into the next five years; to be Australia’s leading provider of sport and entertainment venues and precincts.
This bold and aspirational vision is supported by a refreshed purpose; to support high performance sport and deliver world class experiences.
The vision will ensure that Western Australians continue to experience iconic sporting and entertainment events in evolving world class precincts and is welcomed as the State sees the return of national and international event business after two challenging years.
Supporting high performance sport is VenuesWest’s core activity, achieved by enabling current and future Western Australian elite athletes to train and compete in their home state.
Sport and Recreation Minister David Templeman welcomed the plan, "Western Australian athletes performed exceptionally well at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games and VenuesWest’s commitment to supporting high performance sport will ensure our athletes have the best chance leading up to the Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games and Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games."
Athletes are supported via investment in facilities to meet national and international competition compliance, prioritisation and subsidisation of training and competition activities, provision of pathways to international competition and the Brand Ambassador program.
The VenuesWest Strategic Plan defines the path for continued commercial success, enabling direct reinvestment across the portfolio of venues and ongoing subsidisation of high performance sport. CEO David Etherton explains, "VenuesWest has hosted some of the most iconic events in Western Australia's history, and the success of these events helps support our athletes to train and compete in Western Australia."
VenuesWest has a proud history of successfully delivering world class sport and entertainment experiences and hosting major events at their precincts and venues for Western Australians and visitors to Perth. This new Strategic Plan will ensure that this success is built on for future generations.
