Sports Fields

Council will not be taking bookings for sports facilities while the current lock down orders are in place. Council need to take a cautious approach to ensure social distancing, and to prevent our venues becoming infection sites.

NSW Health advice is that no formal competitions or training sessions are to take place and no community sport (whether training or a match) in Greater Sydney including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour should proceed. This includes coaching or tuition programs.

Waverley Council has a variety of sports fields and netball courts available for recreation and organized sports. The facilities are suitable for a range of community and commercial activities and school carnivals. We are committed to providing safe and accessible playing fields for all ages and activity levels. The map below shows where each facility is located within the Council area.

Please note:

To make a booking call 9083 8300 or email venuehire@waverley.nsw.gov.au

COVID Safety Measures

Council have completed safety assessments of our venues to ensure they are COVID safe and fit for community hire. Hirers are required to prepare and implement appropriate measures to ensure their staff and volunteers are aware of information on COVID-19, including when to get tested, physical distancing and cleaning, and how to manage a sick visitor.

The process of developing your own COVID Safety Plan or COVID-19 Safe Checklist and Risk Assessment will assist hirers and organisers to effective plan their events/meetings to ensure they are COVID Safe.

Hirers are recommended to address the matters in the COVID-19 safety checklist as approved by the Chief Health Officer and published on the New Health website when completing their plans.

Council is not the approving authority for COVID Safety plans, and we are not the relevant authority to provide training on health-related matters.

Information required by the hirers can be found on the NSW Health website. Further links are below for each specific section.

Hirers are required to keep a copy of the COVID-19 Safety Plan and make it available for inspection by an authorised officer as requested. Any fines resulting from a breach of Public Health Orders will be the responsibility of the hirer.

Seasons

There are two distinct sporting seasons (summer and winter) for organised sport.  Waverley Councils sports fields accommodate different sports depending on the season.
