“Blacktown Key Venues are pleased to announce our formal partnership agreement with the Royal Life Saving NSW as ‘Aquatic Safety Partners’.

We [at Blacktown Key Venues] recognise a need to ensure we lead efforts to exceed industry best practice by educating and developing staff and our community on water safety awareness across our Aquatic & Leisure venues.

We look forward to working closely with Royal Life Saving NSW to support our overall goals in ensuring we help reduce drowning and increase water safety awareness and lifesaving skills within our community” said Jonathan Jamsek - Chief Operations Manager, Blacktown Venue Management Ltd
