Background

This Strategic Plan provides the Port Adelaide Cycling Club with clear strategic and initiatives to be working towards over the next three years. It outlines the vision and mission and what is important to the Club and its members. It will be supported by an Action Plan that will assign responsibility for achieving the objectives to individuals, or where agreed by the Committee, to a sub-committee.

Our Plan is categorised into six key pillars of Governance; Club Development; Competition and Events; Communication and IT; Volunteer Development and Coordination; and Sport Development, although many of the objectives and measures could sit in a number of areas.

It is designed to keep the Committee focussed on the areas that are considered vital for the development of our Club. The Port Adelaide Cycling Club recognises that there needs to be an emphasis on supporting Club Coaches, volunteers and committees to build a strong Club. The Committee is looking forward to implementing this strategic plan with the support of its members and other key stakeholders.
