NSW Sport and Recreation

More people.  More active.  More often.

NSW Sport and Recreation aims to assist the people of NSW to participate in sport and recreation to develop a community that uses sport and recreation to improve its well being.

NSW Sport and recreation recognises that there is more to sport that just playing it. Sport and recreation play a vital role in binding the State's communities together, and participation in physical activity creates a broad range of benefits for all members of the community.

From developing the self-esteem of young people to maintaining the health and fitness of senior citizens, and nurturing talented athletes to improving everyone's enjoyment of life, NSW Sport and recreation is concerned with the big picture gains of sport and recreation for all communities in NSW.

Surfing NSW work closely with NSW Sport and Recreation in several key ways to not only develop the sport of surfing within NSW as a whole but to achive key outcomes. These include increasing participation opportunities for indigenous communities through the Surfing NSW Indigenous Surfing programs, increasing female participation in surfing and developing international surfing events such as the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships through the International Sporting Events Program.

Tourism NSW

Tourism NSW promotes and supports the development of sustainable tourist destinations and experiences in NSW.

Surfing NSW has partnered with Tourism NSW to deliver a 'Surfing Strategy' which recognises the significance of the vast NSW coastline as a major tourist attraction similar to Uluru in the Northern Nerritory or the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland.

With beautiful surfable beaches stretching along the entire NSW coast and with pleasant weather and water temperatures year round, the NSW coastline (all all the activities it allows!) truly is a natural highlight of NSW.

One of the key outcomes of this strategy was the development of Surf The Coast, a website aimed at promoting the NSW coastline not only domestically, but to the world. Surf the Coast highlights the major towns that line the coast, providing information on Surfing NSW Licenced Surf Schools along with places to stay and play!
