Netball NSW has begun its second state-wide consultation roadshow, meeting with members in Bathurst to collaborate on shaping the future of the game across New South Wales.
The Bathurst session, held on Tuesday 26 August, marked the second phase of a series of regional forums where Association and Club administrators can contribute directly to the development of Netball NSW’s new Strategic Plan and ongoing governance review.
The Bathurst session was attended by senior leaders from Netball NSW, including CEO Tracey Scott, Executive General Manager Tim Fava and Board Director Janet Torney. Their involvement underscored the organisation’s commitment to collaboration and good governance, ensuring the perspectives of Associations and Clubs are central to planning for the future of the sport.
Topics explored in Bathurst included the development of the new Strategic Plan, a review of governance documents such as the revised constitution, defining what success looks like for netball in NSW, and identifying regional priorities and future focus areas.
Netball NSW CEO Tracey Scott said the Bathurst session set the tone for a collaborative process designed to put members at the heart of decision-making.
“This roadshow is about working hand in hand with our Associations and Clubs to shape the direction of netball in NSW. Our members know their communities best, and their insights are vital to ensuring our strategy and governance reflect the needs of the game at every level,” Ms Scott said.
The consultation sessions will continue over the coming weeks in the Illawarra, Kiama, Cessnock, Grafton, Nambucca and Sydney, with additional online opportunities to ensure all members can contribute.
The outcomes of the consultation will directly inform the next Netball NSW Strategic Plan, ensuring the organisation continues to strengthen the sport and its governance while supporting the thousands of players, coaches, umpires and volunteers who make up the state’s vibrant netball community.
