BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT<br />
Harbour Sport?s objective is to work with partners to provide quality opportunities and experiences for<br />
our partners. The ultimate aim is to create ?win win?relationships where partner benefits are realised,<br />
while Harbour Sports financial objectives for their events and programmes. There is an ongoing need<br />
to generate more income through partnerships to help support the extensive and growing community<br />
programmes delivered and supported by Harbour Sport.<br />
Harbour Sports events; the Mud Rush, Shore to Shore and Sporting Excellence Awards continue to<br />
engage the community consequently providing fantastic exposure for partners involved. Harbour<br />
Sport programmes continue to evolve with Green Prescription (GRx) and Community Strength and<br />
Balance increasing, while ActivAsian, Bike, Coaching, Young Persons and SportSPasifik continue to<br />
impact the community significantly, consequently creating great opportunities for partners to engage.<br />
Development of a Harbour Sport Events Team has allowed increased opportunities for partners and<br />
community engagement. This has seen the inclusion of the 50th Anniversary Dinner for Volleyball New<br />
Zealand and coordination of the Northcote Chinese New Year?s Festival. Implementation of a Harbour<br />
Sport Corporate golf day is set for October <strong>2017</strong>. The growth of the Events Team has allowed more<br />
availability for partners to leverage opportunities and increase their involvement.<br />
Local boards work continues to align with Harbour Sport and are able to shape their local<br />
communities by promoting sport and recreation to develop health, social and economic benefits, as<br />
well as providing an enhanced sense of identity and wellbeing.<br />
Charitable Trusts and Gaming funders have provided essential funding for the many important sport<br />
and recreation programmes and projects throughout the year.<br />
The ultimate goal of events is to benefit the community through increased revenue put back into our<br />
programmes that impact the community significantly.<br />
