New Zealand
The New Zealand Government, through New Zealand Major Events, works in partnership with the events sector to support New Zealand’s growing reputation as an attractive destination for major events of global significance. New Zealand Major Events act as an advisor to government Ministers on the value that the events industry brings to the national economy. It acts as a partner with the events sector to attract major events, boost sector capability and leverage benefits arising from events. It plays the role of investor to ensure valuable legacy outcomes that align with the Government’s Major Events Strategy are delivered. Finally, it is a one-stop-shop for event organisers to help them navigate their involvement with government (www.majorevents.govt.nz).
The Major Events Strategy highlights that from the government’s perspective, major events are considered those which i) generate significant economic, social, and cultural benefits; ii) attract significant numbers of international participants and spectators; iii) have a national profile outside the region in which they are being held; and iv) generate significant international media coverage in key markets. Potential impacts of major events include i) increased tourism revenue; ii) increased opportunities for NZ brand promotion; iii) the creation of new business and trade opportunities; iv) increased employment opportunities; and v) enhanced events sector capabilities – supported through the Major Events Resource Bank. The expected long-term outcomes of the strategy are a significant contribution to a high value economy, vibrant communities and culture, and a flourishing events sector.
In order to achieve the aims of the Strategy and maximise the potential economic benefits for New Zealand, a Major Events Development Fund was established to prioritise investment in those events with the most potential for economic return. The governance structure for the fund includes the establishment of both an Investment Panel, to provide private sector and senior public sector input into investment decisions, and a Major Events Minister’s Group, bringing together five Ministerial portfolios with event investment and leveraging interests (Economic Development; Tourism; Arts, Culture and Heritage; Foreign Affairs; Sport and Recreation). The Investment Panel will consider major event applications and make recommendations to the Ministers Group on event investment, leverage, legacy and prospecting. It is then the role of the Major Events Minister’s Group to approve or decline any recommendations made by the Major Events Investment Panel.
