NSW Office of Sport centres and venues closed due to bushfire emergency

Following the declaration of a State of Emergency by the NSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, ahead of predicted catastrophic fire conditions, the Office of Sport is temporarily closing nine Sport and Recreation Centres and Olympic Sport Venues.

The centres and venues affected are:

• Point Wolstoncroft Sport and Recreation Centre
• Milson Island Sport and Recreation Centre
• Broken Bay Sport and Recreation Centre
• Berry Sport and Recreation Centre
• Sydney Academy of Sport, Narrabeen
• Southern Highlands Regional Shooting Centre
• Sydney International Shooting Centre
• Sydney International Equestrian Centre
• Sydney International Regatta Centre

The safety of customers and staff at these centres and venues is paramount.

The Office of Sport is contacting all groups and individuals that have made bookings at these venues to inform them that their bookings have been cancelled. These clients will be offered a refund and reimbursed for any travel costs. They will also be offered an alternative booking date.

The Office of Sport’s Central Coast office at the University of Newcastle (UON), Ourimbah Campus will be closed on Tuesday 12th November following the decision by the UON to close the campus.

All other Office of Sport centres and venues remain open.
