The Strategic Plan is led by our purpose - ‘Everyone Plays Here’. This purpose highlights our commitment to participation in sport and active recreation, which can take many forms – from players and coaches to officials and volunteers, from partners and sponsors to media and fans.
It is well recognised that participation in sport and active recreation plays an integral role in improving the health and wellbeing of individuals, as well as fostering social connections and building relationships within communities.
Under our new Strategic Plan, we are committed to supporting all people, communities and organisations across NSW to enjoy the benefits of participating in sport and active recreation, by providing leadership, policies, programs, funding and infrastructure to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate.
Our purpose is supported by five focus areas, which are:
- Sector Growth: Supporting the sector in adapting and growing sport and active recreation at all levels across NSW.
- Facilities and Spaces: Enabling an inclusive and accessible network of facilities and places for sport and active recreation.
- For all People: Facilitating increased opportunities for inclusion in sport and active recreation so every person in NSW can participate throughout their whole life.
- Partnerships and Investment: Pursuing partnerships and investment opportunities that facilitate and grow sport and active recreation in NSW.
- Organisation Development: Ensuring the Office of Sport is sustainable, responsive and contemporary.
