Endeavour Sports High School All-weather Cricket Lanes operating licencing and opportunity to develop
About the opportunity:
Endeavour Sports High School is a leading sports high school in Sydney, renowned for its Targeted Sports Program (TSP) that supports student-athletes across a variety of disciplines, including cricket.
The existing cricket lane facility is an integral part of the school's sports infrastructure, supporting both school programs and community use. Upgrading these facilities with an all-weather containment structure will enhance training opportunities, enable night-time use, and support broader grass-roots pathways.
Through a joint use agreement, the department aims to enter into an agreement with a partner who can deliver on both educational and community outcomes, ensuring the facility is maintained to a high standard and utilised effectively outside of school hours.
EOI proposals are invited to develop the following features through a joint use agreement with the department. Proposals will be assessed for suitability and viability. If multiple viable applications are received, a selective tender process will be initiated and advertised on the NSW Government's buy.nsw platform.

Endeavour Sports High School
