Venues NSW is an agency of the Government of New South Wales that owns and operates several sporting facilities across New South Wales, Australia. It was established on 2 March 2012 from the merger of three trusts, namely the Hunter Region Sporting Venues Authority, Parramatta Stadium Trust and Illawarra Venues Authority.[2] Illawarra Venues Authority itself replaced the Wollongong Sportsground Trust in December 2009.[3]
