The direct benefits that flow from Purpose B is increased participation in healthy sports which will have positive effects on the health of those involved. In addition the benefits will also include improved community engagement. These benefits are evidenced through the number of sporting events and other activities, level of participation in organised events and recorded numbers of visitors to exhibitions. The purpose may lead to physical injury to those involved in playing sports. This risk is minimal due to required health and safety conditions are outweighed by the health benefits to those who will be playing sports.

Object A: The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is to those commercial organisations who are engaged to produce event or exhibition materials, or to provide catering for the events if requested.
