2023 ARI Awards

I acknowledge the success of Belgravia Leisure at the 2023 NSW Aquatic and Recreation Institute Awards, which recognise excellence in the leisure industry across a variety of categories. This year Belgravia Leisure, which is responsible for the operation of both the Whitlam Leisure Centre in Liverpool and the Michael Wenden Aquatic Leisure Centre in Miller, walked away with several prestigious accolades, including the Diversity and Inclusion Award; the Lifeguard of the Year award, which went to Washington Canellas; and the Emerging Leader Award, won by New South Wales area manager Liz Stranix. Belgravia Leisure also received the Social Impact Award for its work in the Liverpool area. Having seen the programs and services Liverpool's leisure facilities work to provide, I can attest to the profoundly positive impact Belgravia Leisure has on our community. I extend my sincere congratulations to the entire Belgravia Leisure team in Liverpool for their commitment to creating vibrant and inclusive recreational experiences.
