Welcome to Sport and Recreation Services

Sport and Recreation is a vital part of the ACT community. The ACT is Australia's most physically active community, home to many successful elite athletes and sporting teams and an abundance of sport and recreation facilities that provide physical activity opportunities around almost every corner.

Sport and Recreation Services (fact sheet coming soon) manages the sport and recreation policy of the ACT Government, delivers community programs, manages many sporting facilities and provides advice to the Minister for Planning, Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Mr Andrew Barr.
