About us
Sport Projects provide sport and event project management and consultancy with the needs of our clients shaping everything we do. Founded in 2015 by Steve Peterson, Sport Projects quickly established itself within the industry, and has been responsible for high profile events such as the Herald Sun-Citylink Run for the Kids, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, the UCI Track Cycling World Cup, and the Six Day Cycling Series. Our experienced team, headed by Steve Peterson, provide consultancy and an event specialist service through to full scale planning, preparation and management of large events. By listening to our clients, understanding the event and building flexibility into each project we ensure a seamless event experience. We apply project management methodology to every event to ensure every detail is meticulously planned and every challenge anticipated. We recognise a successful project is based on people, that’s why we champion communication across all aspects of the project, ensuring every stakeholder feels fully engaged on the journey. We are people focused and we are precise. That’s why our events work for everyone, from the client, our staff and the broader project team through to the end participant.
Having Sport Projects set up the logistics and event management this year has meant that we were able to spend a lot more time raising funds with the WWRR community. When we look at the increase in the number of participants, sponsorship and donations this year it has been time very well spent.
