I acknowledge the Whitlam Leisure Centre in Liverpool, which was recognised a finalist in the 2023 Aquatic and Recreation Institute awards of excellence. The Aquatic and Recreation institute excellence awards celebrate individual and team achievements within the Aquatic and Recreation Sector in NSW, singling out exceptional leisure facilities and programs. This year, the Whitlam Leisure Centre was recognised for its leadership in areas including accessibility and social impact, in addition to placing as a finalist for the Children's Program of the Year award and AH Pierce memorial facility of the year award. I note my attendance at the Whitlam centre's open day last weekend, where I saw first-hand the many steps taken to boost accessibility and inclusion, including CĂ©rge, a digital concierge for people with a disability. I extend my congratulations to Belgravia Leisure and the hardworking staff who provide these amenities to our community, and I look forward to the summer swim season.
