9.    GENERAL BUSINESS
9.1   RED BULL DEFIANCE EVENT

Cr J Kremastos invited Mr M Boldy (Director Planning & Regional Development) to present
his report in relation to the Red Bull Defiance Event

Executive Summary:
This report outlines an event opportunity that has been proposed to the Cassowary Coast
Regional Council which affects the local government area over a three year period
commencing in 2019. The event for this year is envisaged to be held between August and
September. The Red Bull Defiance event is a globally recognised multisport endurance
event which has the potentially to significantly build on and further promote the Cassowary
Coast Region’s credentials as a world adventure tourism destination.

The event is principally sponsored by Red Bull who run and support a range of sporting
events around the world. Promotion of these events, their destinations and the lifestyle that
is associated with them form major parts of the marketing campaigns that are associated.

The Council has been approached by Jersey Road who are representing Red Bull for this
event in Australia. Jersey Road is also involved in the organisation of the World Rafting
event that is to be held in May 2019. The Council already has extensive practical experience
in working closely with Jersey Road. The Council has been asked to provide a commitment
towards the event over a 3 year period including a monetary contribution of $80,000 per
year.

This report primarily seeks a resolution from the Council to support the event and to indicate
in principle financial commitments during the subsequent Financial Years.

Recommendation:
“That Council resolves to:
1.   Write to Jersey Road, as representatives of the Red Bull Defiance 2019 event
     indicating the Council accepts the Red Bull Defiance Event schedule to be
     conducted in the Region from August 31st to September 1st 2019 and that the
     Council will have a formal recommendation to consider at its February 2019
     Budget Review Meeting which allocates an amount of $80,000 towards the event
     as part of its commitment to the event.
2.   Negotiate further with Jersey Road and Red Bull to establish a formal agreement
     to conduct the event in the Cassowary Coast Region during 2019 and the next
     two years for Council to further consider.”

Background:
The Red Bull Defiance is a multisport event that takes advantage of the surrounding
landscape and conditions. Cycling, running and water sports (paddling of some form)
represent key legs of the event which takes place over many days. Other activities can also
form part of the overall event – e.g. rock climbing as is the case in the Wanaka Lake area of
New Zealand where such an event is being held this year. Being an adventure endurance
race, the events prefer natural settings over formal sporting facilities. This has the potential

Minutes – CCRC Local Government Meeting
                                                                                   17 January 2019

to showcase the Cassowary Coast Region’s mountain bike trails, coastal and Wet Tropics
Rainforests walking trails as well as its coastal beaches, bays and islands.

Apart from catering for athletes from around the world, the event also caters for athlete
support crews and can accommodate spectators where practicable. Visual coverage through
YouTube and other forms of television rights is a principal part of the event marketing and
coverage strategy utilised by Red Bull.

The type of activities and athletes that participate mandate locations that are commensurate
in their beauty, scenic grandeur and lifestyle attributes. In the case of the CCR, a key theme
previously not pursued in any significant manner, will be the Great Barrier Reef. Apart from
the already inherent natural beauty of the Reef, the addition of the Region’s rainforests
including those that abut the coast as well as the largely unspoilt islands are expected to
provide the necessary spectacular backdrop that the event has become synonymous with.

Red Bull through their representatives (e.g. Jersey Road) host high quality web and social
media pages. These platforms are used to not only showcase the event but also the region
and its supporting attributes (e.g. accommodation and other attractions) within which the
event is being held. Coverage of the proposed event and also while it is underway, is to an
audience of millions of people.

Commitment towards this type of high-profile event with global interest builds on the
Council’s recent contribution to the World Rafting event in May this year and also further
builds the credentials of the Region as a global adventure tourism destination.

At this stage, the Council has been asked to indicate its support for the event to be held in
our Region and for its financial support of $80,000 each year over a 3 year period. The
Council is not being asked to organise the event (this is to be solely managed by Red Bull in
conjunction with Jersey Road) but would be expected to be involved in helping to identify
opportunities to improve its success through the Council’s liaison with other local businesses
who may be able to provide services to athletes, their support crews and spectator visitors
the event as well as through the Council’s role in managing any public facilities that may
need to be affected.

Subject to Council’s indication of support, finer details of the event are yet to be determined
by the organisers. The Council also would need to undertake some additional event planning
and implementation work – within the Council organisation, with the event organisers and
other stakeholders. Should the Council commit to the event as recommended, an initial
workshop is proposed with Councillors and staff to identify and implement an agreed Council
management strategy for its involvement in the event over the 3 year period. This is
expected to include the need for formal agreements, identification of work programs and
their implementation as well as more detailed Budget and any additional (external) funding
requirements and opportunities.

While the Council is yet to fully determine the likely economic benefit expected from the
event, preliminary estimates provided by Jersey Road indicate that it has the potential to
bring in excess of $1 Million benefit to the Region each year while the event is being held.
Additional and equally, if not more, important benefits are expected to eventuate from
worldwide exposure for the Region as a destination through Red Bull’s marketing
campaigns.

The Council is expected to receive a direct benefit from this marketing over an extended
period each year the event is to be held without any additional cost. This would include
highlights of the Region on Red Bull’s webpage and social media pages as well as links to
local businesses who are able to support the event. The Council will undertake a further
preliminary assessment of the economic benefits of the event utilising existing Red Bull
reports and its own Economy i.d. economic analysis services to provide a more
comprehensive assessment of the expected economic benefits, subject to Council’s support
for the event.

Conclusion
The Report recommends Council support for the proposed Red Bull Defiance event over the
next 3 years and the in principle, endorsement for the formal consideration of the Council
staff proposed Council Budget reallocation of $80,000 for payment to the event organisers
within the remainder of this Financial Year in order to tangibly demonstrate Council’s
commitment and to ensure necessary compliance with the requirements of the Local
Government Act 2009. The Council will have an opportunity to formally consider the
proposed reallocation at its February 2019 Budget Review Meeting. The Report further
recommends endorsement of the Mayor writing to Jersey Road, as representatives of Red
Bull, confirming the Council’s in principle support and financial commitment as indicated.

Link to Corporate Plan:
1.2. Further develop tourism industry, destination and events.
2.5 Promote healthy active lifestyles through the provision of diverse recreational
      infrastructure including open spaces, reserves and sporting opportunities.

Consultation:
Internal discussion; preliminary discussions with Jersey Road. There is no statutory
requirement for any formal public consultation for this matter. No discussion by Council with
any other external stakeholders has taken place to date. Should the Council agree to
support the event, considerable consultation with tourism and other service providers is
expected to form a major part of the Council’s involvement to help maximise business
leveraging opportunities for those businesses who wish to participate. The Council is also
best placed to facilitate any on-going liaison with relevant elected representatives (e.g.
Federal and State Ministers, local members), other councils (through FNQROC) and with
government agencies.

CCR’s local tourism organisation – Tropical Coast Tourism (TCT) is also expected to be able
to play a significant part in helping to leverage tourism benefit to our Region by facilitating
access to member service providers, assisting Council and the event organisers with
webpage and social media content as well as secondary destination marketing.

Legal Implications (Statutory basis, legal risks):
There are no legal implications at this stage which preclude the Council from demonstrating
its support for the event, including principle financial support. Council can expect the need to
enter into formal agreement arrangements for the 3 year term. Further stages in the
development of any agreements and their endorsement/signing will be guided by the
Council’s governance staff.

Policy Implications:
The recommendations of this report are consistent with the Council’s policies.

Risk Implications (Corporate, Operational, Project risks):
Nil

Financial & Resource Implications:
Council is, in principle, able to reallocate funds to the value of at least $80,000 towards the

Budget to date, details of which are proposed to be identified in detail at the Council’s
February 2019 Budget Review Meeting.
