Key components of the restructure include:

• Community Engagement and Well-being:  Recognising that the netball community is at the heart of WNC, the restructure includes initiatives to enhance engagement, communication, and well-being, ensuring that everyone remains motivated and aligned with values.
• Employee Engagement and Well-being:  Acknowledging that employees are at the heart of the centre, the restructure includes initiatives to enhance employee engagement and well-being, ensuring that the workforce remains motivated and aligned with values.

• A Better Experience:  WNC is renewing its dedication to providing the highest quality experience to the netball community.  The commitment to values extends to how the centre interacts with and serves the community, delivering value and reliability.

Kathryn Candy, Board Chair of WNC, expressed excitement about the restructure, stating, "Our restructure is more than just a strategic move; it's a testament to our unwavering commitment and our belief in doing business responsibly.  We are confident that this realignment will not only enhance our culture but also drive positive change in the Netball community we serve."
