CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSED MERGER OF THE P&DBA AND THE PVRSC
The Penrith & Districts Basketball Association (P&DBA) and the Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre (PVRSC) are in discussions regarding a proposed merger of the two organisations.
Over the last 18 months in discussions between the PVRSC and Penrith City Council, it was agreed for the longevity and viability of the facility and potential new opportunities with the new sports facility being built, the structure and operating model must change.
At the backend of 2023 the Penrith Council passed a resolution 'change' must happen, which resulted in the PVRSC and the P&DBA entering discussions.
The purpose of these discussions is to establish how a merger could best unify our resources and capabilities to serve our community better. Our focus remains on streamlining operations, enhancing member services, and paving the way for growth.
To navigate this process, multiple stakeholders have been engaged for assistance and support in considering this proposal, including Penrith City Council, Basketball NSW (BNSW), and advisors. Their expertise is crucial in ensuring that we present a robust framework to establish a strong foundation that promises mutual benefits for all involved, now, and into the future, whilst ensuring the interests of basketball are maintained including the continuation of all current programs and opportunities for our members, and staff.
Whilst discussions have already taken place to develop a starting framework, the P&DBA will have extensive consultation with its members once further remaining advice is received and considered, and a more concrete proposal is developed to then engage in open discussions with members.
Several information and consultation sessions with P&DBA members will take place as this proposal develops, which will firstly ensure members have opportunities to convey their views, and for the P&DBA to inform members of the need for change to the current relationship between the two organisations, the consequence of not addressing the current operating model, the proposed changes and their impact to both organisations, and the opportunity for all members to fully consider all aspects of what is proposed, with all the stakeholders involved and present to assist in that process.
After these consultations take place, a final proposal would be endorsed to present to the P&DBA members at an extraordinary general meeting to be voted on, in accordance with the constitution of the P&DBA.
Regular updates will be provided, with the first information and consultation session to be announced shortly.
