Cairns Basketball Strategic Plan 2014 - 2018

Foreword

Strategic planning is pivotal for effective administration of sport. This plan outlines, for Cairns Basketball, the foundation for our efforts, programs and focus over the next five years. The plan will provide a clear direction for the sport, provide an outline of the activities we will undertake and set some ambitious targets for CBI to obtain. As has been the case over the last twelve months, the sport will continue to set itself to achieve the highest of standards with the sole endeavour of providing a better sport for the next generation our focus. The plan is the result of extensive consultation and collaboration between stakeholders at all levels in the game. The structure of the organisation and relationships developed over the recent past ensure we step forward unified in purpose. The CBI Management Committee acknowledges the contribution of these people and that they in no small way now have ownership of the strategic plan for the sport. After reading the strategic plan for Cairns Basketball you will understand our strategic priorities for the next period and know the initiatives that underpin the implementation of these strategic priorities. We now look forward to “driving our sport” toward such outcomes. Dean P Morzone QC CBI President

Cairns Basketball Strategic Plan 2014 - 2018 Executive Summary

This Strategic Plan is the cornerstone of the cohesive and outward -looking for Cairns Basketball Inc. The organisation has enhanced its structure through governance and management reform over the past twelve months. This process has now positioned the sport well within the Far North sporting landscape. With a ‘unified’ structure and innovative approach CBI is ready to capitalise on this position. The Strategic Plan is based on the input received from Board Members, State Council Representatives, participants, senior staff and other consultants/stakeholders. The Strategic Plan begins with the mission, our purpose, responsibilities, values and ultimately the vision for CBI. Our five-year targets are outlined, and it includes some challenging targets for our sport to reach by 2018. We continue to aim to be amongst the best administered Basketball Associations in Australia while providing the strong pathway for our participants. Our membership has high expectations for Basketball and it must be stated that as an organisation we share this expectation of success. Current and future members will readily identify with a sport that is thrilling, dynamic, focused on its participation roots and set on being one that is the first choice of the Cairns community. It will be imperative that throughout the 2014 to 2085 cycle Cairns itself as a sport within the mainstream of Australia. We have identified three strategic priority areas which will give Cairns Basketball a clear focus into the future David Herbert CEO Cairns Basketball

Bruce commenced an association in Mossman in 1957 with Mr Pryce, established fixtures with games held out of the old shire hall in Mossman. Cairns Basketball has clocked up many firsts in its history including the first female Queenslander to play basketball for Australia (Raylene Lynch), the first Islander to play for Australia (Danny Morseu), the are the first and only All – Australian team to win a National ABA Championship (2004 and again in 2007), The Cairns Indigenous Marlins were the inaugural winners of the National ATSI Championship (2006) and The first indigenous Australian to be drafted into the NBA () and followed Aaron Baynes who became our first Olympian. The first players to represent Australia from Cairns Basketball were Ms Raylene Lynch (1958) and Mr Danny Morseu (1980 ) (Torres Strait Islander). Cairns Basketball was the driving force behind t he establishment of the which celebrated 15 great years in 2013 and is still going strong. Rodd Popp and Denis Donaghy pioneered this NBL Club. The Cairns Taipans represents the pinnacle of development of representative players and pathway s.
