Description
On 6 November 2006 Council resolved to approve the delegation of authority to the Student Affairs Committee with the agreement of the Vice-Chancellor, to approve amendments to the constitutions of UNSW Union, the Union Student Guild, the Postgraduate Board, the College of Fine Arts Students' Association and the UNSW Sports Association (where such amendments are requested by the governing body of the relevant student organisation), and such other actions and agreements necessary to give effect to the winding up of the existing student organisations and the transition to a new student organisation, and to a new model for delivery of sport and other student services for UNSW in 2007 (resolution CL06/87). In the first week of session one in 2007, all UNSW students were informed by email of the intention to integrate the functions of the Sports Association and the Lifestyle Centre (Unigym) into a new department of Sport and Recreation (25 October 2007 Student Affairs Committee papers). At the 25 October 2007 meeting of the Student Affairs Committee it was noted that it was anticipated that formal transfer to the new department would be completed by the end of the year. Mr Mark Lockie would be appointed as the new General Manager of UNSW's new Sport and Recreation department on 29 October. The Sport and Recreation section was initially part of the division of the Chief Operating Officer. Following the departure of the Chief Operating Officer in September 2008, Sport and Recreation was moved to the division of the Executive Director, University Services. In 2010 the General Manager of Sport and Recreation remained Mark Lockie. While Sport and Recreation remained the responsibility of the Vice-President, University Services, the unit as such was soon disbanded. In 2013 the operations of the UNSW Fitness and Aquatic Centre were outsourced and run by the YMCA NSW while UNSW Sport encompassing the management of Sports Clubs, UNSW University Games teams as well as the facilitation of sports facilities such as Village Green, David Phillips Field, Tarban Creek and the Sam Cracknell Pavilion were transferred to Arc in July 2013.
