Stadiums Queensland secures naming rights sponsor for Gold Coast's Skilled Park
Cbus Super has become the new naming rights partner of the Stadiums Queensland venue at Robina on the Gold Coast previously known as Skilled Park.
The stadium home of the Gold Coast Titans in the NRL will be known as Cbus Super Stadium for the next five years with the venue to be rebranded ahead of the 2014 NRL season.
Cbus Super, established in 1984, is the national industry fund for the construction, building, infrastructure and allied industries with more than 700,000 members and $25 billion under management.
Cbus Super Chairman Steve Bracks said Cbus is a strong and growing industry super fund run on the philosophy that all profits are returned to members and that these funds are invested to maximise returns in their industry and communities.
Explaining the sponsorship, Bracks, the former Victorian Premier, stated "Queensland is an important part of that membership and a state that we are looking to continue to grow our superfund in, having increased members by 15% in the past two years.
"So we are delighted to be able to take advantage of this unique opportunity to name the stadium at Robina the Cbus Super Stadium which will strengthen our brand in the Queensland community and beyond.
"The naming rights will give Cbus exposure to the rugby league and sport loving public through TV coverage of the Gold Coast Titan's home games, as well as other events like Wallabies Tests, theGold Coast Sevens Tournament and the Gold Coast Bulletin Fun Run."
Queensland Minister for Sport, Steve Dickson, congratulated Cbus Super on their five year commitment, adding "with football fixtures played at the venue being broadcast to around 5.3 million NRL fans across the country and overseas, and an estimated 1 million patrons expected to pass through the gates over the next five years, it won't take long for Cbus Super Stadium to become a household name.
"This is a win for the Gold Coast Titans and their fans, with naming rights sponsorship invested back into the venue to assist with maintenance and upkeep, and for improving venue facilities.
"This initiative will increase Cbus' profile in Queensland and provide an opportunity to market its services in the Queensland economy which is expected to grow significantly, in coming years from investment in the building and infrastructure sectors."
