Football NSW Review Update

The Review process has commenced with 2 activities:

• A workshop for the FNSW Board, to review the current governance arrangements and strategy, including the FNSW Mission, Vision and Values; and
• An invitation seeking submissions from all interested parties, including Associations, clubs, players, volunteers and other State bodies.

Board Chair, Robert Sestan said ?The Board has been meeting frequently to understand the issues facing FNSW and the expectations of our stakeholders. We appointed PSP to assist Football NSW with the Review. This is to ensure due care and consideration are given to issues which impact on strategy development, and to facilitate proper business judgments?.
The Review will be wide-ranging and will examine the administration, promotion, growth and development of football in NSW. The anticipated outputs will include :

1. An strategic plan for FNSW
2.  Recommended changes to governance, including proposed changes to the FNSW constitution and By-Laws
3. Initiatives to improve stakeholder relations and communications
4. An analysis of the cost of football participation
5. A review of FNSW?s financial position
6. Analysis and assessment of Football NSW?s technical programs

The aims are to align all FNSW stakeholders around a common vision for the development of the game in NSW, and to build an organisation that can deliver this vision.
The Board is also focused on Part B of the Review, the major development planned at Riverstone, in Sydney?s North West.
A revised site proposal has been put forward by the Riverstone Land owner which is currently being considered by the Board and its commercial advisors accordingly. FNSW will keep its Members informed of any material developments.
