Corporate Overview

4

Stadiums Queensland has, over the past 12 months, continued to develop and enhance its facilities to maintain their attractiveness as venues of choice for the staging of the elite, national and international sporting contests Australians embrace. There is no resting on one’s laurels in this regard.

The major events market is currently the most competitive it has been for some time, with venues all over Australia looking to attract whatever events they can. Stadiums Queensland’s clean stadium model provides opportunities for sports franchises to realise benefits not available in other venues.

There are costs associated with the staging of sports events. These costs are incurred through the provision of services such as cleaning, waste management, security etc. What may not be widely known is that these services are outsourced to the private sector through tender processes to ensure the best value for venue and hirer is achieved. We then work with hirers to minimise the real costs associated with hosting events in an effort to keep ticket prices affordable.

Stadiums Queensland operates on a cost recovery basis. Any profit made after recovering the costs associated with hosting events is reinvested into maintenance and capital improvements at the venue.

Similarly, revenues from naming rights go straight back into the venue for the benefit of hirers, and the patrons who attend events.

It is important we invest in this crucial infrastructure if we are to have sport continue to play the important role it does in our civic life and the health, economic and social benefits it brings to our community through participation at the grassroots right through to the elite levels.

Chairman’s Report

In 2013/14, our focus will turn to the delivery of infrastructure associated with the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. Three venues, Skilled Park, Metricon Stadium and the Sleeman Sports Complex, will be used as host venues with a variety of work required at each to meet the organising committee’s operational requirements. The largest piece of work will be the delivery of a new indoor velodrome at the Sleeman Sports Complex which will further the venue’s reputation as a Centre of Sporting Excellence in legacy mode and provide partners, including the QAS and Cycling Queensland, with a first class facility for this evergreen sport.

My sincere thanks to the Sports Minister, Hon Steve Dickson MP, for his support and direction since coming to office and I pay tribute to my fellow Directors, the staff of Stadiums Queensland and the wide network of service providers required to attract and deliver events to Stadiums Queensland venues through 2012/13.

MikePellyChairman

Patronage at Stadiums Queensland venues has exceeded four million for the third consecutive year. Since Stadiums Queensland was established in 2001, some 39 million people have attended our venues.

While Stadiums Queensland is proud of the variety of events that are presented across its nine venues over the course of a year, we are constantly looking at ways to get more content to provide Queenslanders with additional sport and entertainment experiences. This is a multi-pronged approach which includes the attraction of elite sports fixtures, the development of community sport and other smaller events, and the promotion of our function facilities.

During 2012/13, technology upgrades have been our main focus. Smartphones and other devices that enable access to information in real time and to communicate instantaneously, are part of the modern day stadium experience for patrons and hirers alike. Indeed, the demand for bandwidth by patrons who access social media is an issue not unique to major sports venues. Shopping centres and music festivals confront the same challenge.

We are well aware the high demand from patrons for bandwidth places a strain on existing telecommunications networks during major events. We continue to work with the telecommunication companies which provide these services to improve access and capacity where possible.

For its part, Stadiums Queensland has, over the past year, been installing a fibre optic backbone to enhance the capacities of data networks within our venues. This investment is designed to provide capacity to accommodate the growing demand for wifi communication by hirers and media outlets. The fibre optic backbone has also allowed us to install electronic point of sale terminals at catering outlets to provide faster service and reduce queue times at concessions, meaning patrons spend more time in their seats enjoying the match.

Chief Executive’s Report

The presentation of our facilities for football matches, cricket fixtures, swimming carnivals, athlete meets and the myriad of other activities that occur at our venues on a day to day basis is only possible because of the diligence of Stadiums Queensland staff, the commitment of our partners who deliver the services required for the conduct of our events, and the hirers whose support we appreciate. I would, therefore, like to thank the staff of Stadiums Queensland and those service providers and hirers with whom we partner for their contribution.

I acknowledge the support of Sports Minister, Hon Steve Dickson MP, and that of the Queensland Government, in enabling Stadiums Queensland to deliver facilities that attract not only world class events but are accessible to schools, clubs and organisations engaged in sport at the community level. I would also express appreciation to the Chairman and Directors of Stadiums Queensland for their ongoing advice and contribution to the governance of this diverse and complex business.

Finally, to the many people who attend our facilities. Thank you for making our venues the vibrant and exciting places they are when you turn up to cheer your team, participate in a sport, engage in some personal training or recreational activity, or enjoy a concert. You are the reason we do this.

Our corporate governance arrangements are structured to position Stadiums Queensland as:

• An efficient and effective organisation delivering quality venue experiences to the public, tenants and the hirers of our facilities;

• An ethical and productive organisation that achieves high standards of accountability, transparency and performance;

• An organisation that works in partnership with sporting bodies, recreational interest groups, the tourism industry, public sector agencies and businesses to achieve the Government’s policy of developing infrastructure to enhance participation in sport at both the community and elite levels; and

• A flexible, reputable organisation that effectively manages risk.

TheBoardThe Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of Stadiums Queensland. It sets the organisation’s strategic direction within the parameters set down by legislation applicable to Stadiums Queensland and determines the policies and practices that govern its day-to-day operations.

CommitteesThe Board has established a series of Committees to assist it in fulfilling its governance responsibilities.

InternalCommittees(CommitteesconvenedbyStadiumsQueensland):Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is chaired by the Chief Executive and comprises General Managers and Venue Managers. The Executive meets fortnightly to ensure a consistent approach to business operations. It reviews processes and procedures for the effective management of the organisation and to enable it to meet its statutory obligations. It monitors the performance of the organisation and establishes the mechanisms required to manage capital works programs and construction projects. The Executive also performs the role of the Information and Communications Technology Steering Committee.

Venue Committees

The Board has established three venue Committees (Stadiums, Venues and Marketing) to consider and oversee venue and operational matters. A number of Board Members sit on each of these Committees. The Chief Executive and nominated Senior Management personnel attend committee meetings as agenda items dictate. Issues considered at these committee meetings relate mostly to the operations at the respective venues including tenancy agreements, commercial arrangements and the prioritising and monitoring of maintenance and capital works.

Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee

The Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee comprises three Board Members. The Committee is supported by Stadiums Queensland’s Internal Auditor, as provided for under the obligations of the Financial Accountability Act (2009) and the Financial and Performance Management Standard (2009), who provides advice on audit and audit related matters.

The Chief Executive of Stadiums Queensland, General Manager Corporate Services and the Financial Controller attend meetings as observers. This ensures appropriate separation between the Committee as the body responsible for oversight and monitoring corporate governance within Stadiums Queensland and the managers responsible for the administration of the business.

The Committee focuses on developing the frameworks and procedures for effectively managing business risk and provides advice on the control mechanisms (implemented by management) to protect the organisation’s assets and promote efficient and effective work practices. Officers of the Queensland Audit Office (QAO) attend meetings of the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee.

The Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee has due regard to the terms of its charter and the Queensland Treasury’s Audit Committee Guidelines in the conduct of its business.

ExternalCommittees–(CommitteesattendedbyStadiumsQueenslandrepresentativesconvenedbyotheragencies):Events Coordination Forum

The Events Coordination Forum is convened by the Department of Premier and Cabinet as a means to communicate and coordinate the whole-of-government approach to attracting a large variety of events to Queensland. Stadiums Queensland’s General Manager Business Development and Marketing is an active member of this forum.

2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Venues Working Group

Stadiums Queensland’s General Manager of Asset Management and Development is a member of this Working Group.

Stadium Management Advisory Committee

A Stadium Management Advisory Committee (SMAC) meets as a condition of the Suncorp Stadium Development Approval. Suncorp Stadium’s Chief Executive Officer convenes SMAC on behalf of Stadiums Queensland. This Committee comprises representatives from emergency service agencies, transport providers, Brisbane City Council and community organisations. These meetings enable Stadium Management to receive a range of views regarding the operation of the stadium. Four SMAC meetings were held during the financial year.

Risk Management

The identification and proper management of risk is embedded in Stadiums Queensland’s business processes and operating procedures. In addition, Stadiums Queensland has several Committees that address risk management issues:

• Stadiums Queensland’s Executive Committee provides a coordinated approach to the management of risks at the operational level; and

• The Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee focuses on key strategic risk issues facing Stadiums Queensland and ensures mechanisms are in place to effectively protect assets and the safe operation of the business.

EnterpriseBargainingStadiums Queensland utilises the following certified agreements to cater for its broad range of staff:

• Stadiums Queensland Staff Certified Agreement 2012;

• Event Day Staff Certified Agreement 2005;

• Order - Apprentices’ and Trainees’ Wages and Conditions (Excluding Certain Queensland Government Entities) 2003; and

• Common Law Contracts.

Negotiations for the Stadiums Queensland Staff Certified Agreement 2012 were completed in December 2012 with approval and certification through the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission.

WorkforcePlanning,AttractionandRetentionThe quality of recruitment and selection activities is vital to ensuring Stadiums Queensland is able to attract and retain people with the skills, knowledge and abilities it needs to deliver services to the public of Queensland as well as interstate and international visitors who attend events at Stadiums Queensland’s venues.

Stadium Queensland’s business requires specialist skills across event management, operations and facility management to ensure the nine venues are run in an efficient and cost effective manner and safe for the millions of patrons who attend events each year.

Our recruitment and selection processes are based on the principles of merit, equity and fairness. They are designed to enable an assessment to be made of an applicant’s skills, attributes and values against the requirements of the position and the needs of the organisation.

Given the specialist nature of the industry it is important we retain our people and the intellectual property they hold to deliver the best experience possible for patrons as well as meeting hirer and stakeholder expectations. Stadiums Queensland uses educational programs such as the Public Venue Management School and the Venue Management Association to develop key staff.

The nature of Stadiums Queensland’s core business requires flexible arrangements for staff to achieve a reasonable work/life balance. Stadiums Queensland recognises and supports flexible working arrangements across the business. This is acknowledged during employee induction, staff training and performance reviews.

As such, Stadiums Queensland seeks to ensure employment practices are non-discriminatory and the talents and resources of all employees are optimally utilised. All employees are responsible for implementing EEO policies and are expected to reflect behaviours consistent with Stadiums Queensland’s policies and values.

WorkExperienceandTraineeProgramStadiums Queensland recognises the benefits of employing trainees and apprentices within its venues not only to develop the skill base within Stadiums Queensland itself but across the labour market generally. In 2012/13 Stadiums Queensland supported individuals from recognised educational and training establishments to gain work experience in the areas of grounds, administration, health and fitness, event administration and event operations.
