NSW Government reverses plans for contract management of sport and recreation camps

The NSW Government has announced that, after an extensive market testing process, it will not look to outsource the management of its 11 sport and recreation centres, announcing that it “has decided to retain, modernise and optimise” the facilities.

NSW Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres advised today that “after investigations were carried out into options to improve services delivered, the NSW Government has decided modernising centres and services would increase usage and provide the best community outcome.”

Minister Ayres added “the NSW Government is dedicated to increasing usage and access to each of the 11 sport and recreation facilities across NSW (with) the the market testing process (having) highlighted many ways services across the centres can be improved for school, sporting and community groups.”

With the NSW Office of Sport continuing to operate the centres, Minister Ayres concluded “further investigations into capital improvements will also be undertaken to ensure the centres continue to perform and provide the best service for the community.”
