At Visitor Solutions we’re as passionate about sport and recreation as you are, and we pride ourselves on keeping your project moving. We harness this passion and bring inspiration and fresh thinking right from the start.

A significant proportion of our work now draws on our specialist sector experience and knowledge to help sporting organisations improve their capacity, capability and facilities.

We use the core skills below in an approach that is holistic and tailor-made to meet each client’s needs:

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT STRUCTURES

Building better organisational capability is the sure way to deliver on your short and long-term strategic goals. We can help to conceptualise, establish, review and/or optimise organisational structures – at board, management and operational level – to create the organisation you need.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

We work with clients to develop visionary, yet achievable, strategies. Your objectives might lie in economic growth, sustainability, securing niche markets or improving the quality of the visitor experience. Our knowledge and experience will help you set and achieve the right targets.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT

We undertake a robust needs analysis process which can include community consultation, geographic and demographic analysis, establishing sport and recreation trends and strategic alignment.

RESEARCH

We can undertake all your required sport and recreation research from large holistic studies, to a focus on a core area or topic.

FACILITY NETWORK PLANNING

Taking a facility network approach towards future planning and investment is critical. We can assist you with full network plans or specific tasks, such as current state analysis, gap analysis, prioritisation and recommendations for future provision.

BUSINESS PLANNING

We can help determine the financial viability and sustainability of a proposed initiative. Including cash flow analysis, whole-of-life cost analysis and the identification of new opportunities.

FEASIBILITY STUDIES & BUSINESS CASES

Our objective, holistic advice helps to optimise and underpin investment decisions, greater financial scrutiny, facility development and better operational performance.

CONCEPT AND MASTER PLANNING

We provide objective, expert advice on optimising open space, site and facility design. Resulting in improved functionality, reduced operational costs and increased revenue.

PARTNERSHIP ASSISTANCE

ASSET MANAGEMENT PLANNING

We enable sports sector organisations secure their long-term future through planning for maintenance, refurbishment and replacement of capital assets.
