About us

What we do

This is achieved through:

  • Promoting the interests of specific population groups including children and young people and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
  • Increasing opportunities for participation in the arts, culture, recreation and sport at all levels.
  • Investing in facilities and community, cultural and sporting infrastructure.  
  • Supporting enterprise and employment, particularly in the creative, sporting, recreation and hospitality industries.
  • Enhancing community safety by regulating and promoting responsible liquor, gaming, racing and charitable industry practice and responsible management of events in NSW.
