Search for Chief at Hunter Sport

The recently established Hunter Region Sporting Venues Authority is currently seeking a Chief Executive to head up its day to day operations.

Established under the NSW Governmentâs Sporting Venues Authorities Act 2008, Hunter Region Sporting Venues Authority (HRSVA) combines the assets and functions of the Newcastle International Sports Centre Trust and the Newcastle Showground and Exhibition Centre Trust. With a seven member Board appointed by and subject to the direction of the NSW Minister for Sport & Recreation, the Authority is charged with the care, control and management of Newcastle's major sports precinct. The precinct includes the Energy Australia Stadium (the home ground for the Newcastle Knights and the Newcastle United Jets), the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, the Newcastle Showgrounds and a range of other sporting and recreational facilities leased to their respective tenants.

Centrally located in the suburb of Broadmeadow, the precinct is seen to have enormous potential to a regional sporting, entertainment and events venue and planning is under way for a number of major developments on the site.

Reporting to the Ted Atchison, Chair of the Authority and the Board, the inagural Chief Executive will take the lead role for the start-up operations developing and delivering the strategies designed to meet the goals of the Authority.
