SUPPORT continues to grow for Sunshine Coast Lightning as two major Coast businesses throw their backing behind the National Netball League team.

Sunshine Coast Airport and AVID Property Group, the developers behind Palmview’s master-planned community, Harmony, have signed on as business partners with the Coast’s first national sporting team.

Lightning chief executive officer Danielle Smith said there was a great sense of anticipation surrounding the team at the moment.

“Our results on court show we are getting stronger, while off it, the club is in a fantastic position with the backing of two more highly successful businesses,” she said.

Having the fastest-growing airport in the country on the Lightning’s doorstep was great for the team and its supporters, as well as the community, Ms Smith said.

“The athletes and support staff appreciate the convenience of travelling in and out of Sunshine Coast Airport.

“With the airport growing, more passengers can come to the Sunshine Coast for Super Netball games at USC Stadium as well as experiencing this incredible part of the world.”

Sunshine Coast Airport general manager Peter Pallot said the airport was incredibly proud to join forces with the Lightning.

“The team are fantastic ambassadors for the region and we look forward to welcoming our team and the wonderful Lightning fans when they travel away from home,” he said.

AVID Property Group general manager Bruce Harper said the company was thrilled to put its support behind the club.

“AVID is very pleased to become a corporate partner for the team, and to extend our commitment to supporting not only local business, but local sporting clubs,” Mr Harper said.

“With Lightning’s home court at the University of the Sunshine Coast only around the corner from Harmony – Palmview’s largest master-planned community, it’s a great synergy for AVID to get behind this fantastic team which is going from strength-to-strength.”
