Office of Sport

The Office of Sport has 10 Sport and Recreation Centres across NSW, set in scenic river, beach, bush or alpine locations. From the serene beauty of the Hawkesbury River and Lake Macquarie, to the beachy vibe of Lake Ainsworth, alpine country of Jindabyne and pastoral quiet of Borambola, Lake Burrendong and Lake Keepit, each Centre offers different, specialist programs that take advantage of the unique features of their location and facilities.

The information below will help you compare each Centre, so that you can find the one that best suits your needs.
