WHY NOW
A Games brings attention, visitors, investment and higher expectations to the whole state, not just the host city. Regions that benefit most are the ones whose events, organisers and suppliers are ready to meet the standards major events now work to.
For councils, that means three things: organisers who can deliver to a higher standard, local businesses that can win the work, and evidence of what the region gained.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Suppliers and organisers who can show sustainable, responsible practice will be better placed for this work, and for the major events that follow. ISO 20121 gives them a recognised way to do it.

THE PROGRAM
A readiness check for each supported event, then uplift aligned with ISO 20121, the international standard for event sustainability management, for organisers and their suppliers, alongside accessibility, inclusion and social benefit.
Map local suppliers, match them to event demand across council events, the regional calendar and the major event pipeline, and help them become procurement-ready.
Set a baseline now and measure every year to 2032 and beyond with the four-pillar scorecard, so the region can show what it gained.
HOW IT RUNS
