PRINCIPAL PARTNER
A long-standing part of Whanganui.
Downer’s connection with Whanganui goes well beyond the Downer New Zealand Masters Games. For many years, its local teams have helped maintain the roads, footpaths, bridges, drainage systems, water networks, and power infrastructure people rely on every day.
That long-standing local presence matters. Supporting the Games is another way Downer contributes to Whanganui, backing an event that brings people together and celebrates the spirit of the community.
Since 2019, Downer has supported the Games as Principal Sponsor. Its people take part as participants, volunteers, and supporters, while the local Whanganui team provides practical support behind the scenes around the Games Village. Built on local history and everyday work, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to keeping Whanganui moving, connected, and thriving.
