About the Project
PDP lead the development of of a new industry strategy that sets the priorities for WA sport for the next 4 years. The Strategic Priorities for Sport was developed to achieve the following objectives:
1. Define at a high level, the contribution of the industry and the positive outcomes it delivers for the broader Western Australian community.
2. Identify the strategic priorities and opportunities for the industry while addressing current challenges.
3. Provide a consistent platform that elevates the industry in wider Western Australian planning and investment decisions across government and non-government sectors.
4. Promote growth in participation at all levels within the community for the improved health and wellbeing of all Western Australian citizens.
SportWest undertook an extensive consultation and engagement process with various stakeholders across the industry to define the key challenges facing the sector. Seven key challenges were identified which then guided the development of eleven key priorities agreed to by the industry as the most important factors for the industry to address in the coming four years.
The Strategic Priorities for Sport provide the framework by which SportWest focusses its resources and efforts to grow the capability and sustainability of the West Australian sport sector.
