Council's role in event delivery
Council, alongside Destination NSW, NSW Sport, Transport for NSW and the NSW Maritime Infrastructure Delivery Office, plays a role in the delivery of the event. The event organiser delivers the event itself and they work closely with AusTri and the international governing body World Triathlon.
As host city, we provide sponsorship and support services for the event’s delivery such as preparation of grounds, minor temporary road works, the issuing of appropriate licences and approvals and supporting the event organiser (whose role is to deliver the event itself) in the planning of their communications. Our focus is on ensuring not only is the event delivered safely, but that the impact to the city is minimised as much as possible.
