Job Description

Venue Manager | Collarenebri Sports Club
Lead a Thriving Community Hub in Regional NSW

Looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact while enjoying a unique regional lifestyle?

Collarenebri Sports Club is entering an exciting new chapter. Following a major refurbishment, the Club is poised for growth as tourism continues to increase throughout the region. Located on the banks of the Barwon River, Collarenebri is known as the "Home of the Cod" and attracts visitors year-round with its renowned fishing, Artesian Springs and free camping.

As the region's only venue offering gaming, TAB and Keno, the Club plays a vital role in the local community. We're seeking a hands-on and motivated Venue Manager to lead the operation and help capitalise on the opportunities ahead.

About the Role
Reporting to the CEO and Board, you'll oversee the day-to-day operations of both Collarenebri Sports Club and the town's local café. You'll lead a small, friendly team, drive operational performance and create outstanding experiences for members, locals and visitors alike.

With administrative support provided by Toongabbie Sports Club, you'll be free to focus on growing the business, leading people and improving customer experiences rather than being tied up with payroll and back-office administration.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the Club and café operations
  • Recruit, train and develop local and seasonal staff
  • Manage gaming, bar and hospitality operations
  • Prepare rosters and manage labour costs
  • Ensure compliance with gaming, liquor and WHS legislation
  • Drive customer service and operational excellence
  • Build strong relationships within the local community
  • Identify opportunities to grow revenue and visitation
About You
  • Management experience within clubs, hospitality or gaming
  • Strong understanding of gaming and liquor compliance
  • Proven leadership and team development skills
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities
  • Hands-on, organised and commercially minded
  • RSA and RCG certifications (essential)
What's on Offer
  • Salary package from $130,000+ inclusive of superannuation and accommodation
  • Three-bedroom riverside home adjacent to the Club
  • Utilities included
  • Significant administrative support from Toongabbie Sports Club
  • Newly refurbished venue ready for growth
  • Opportunity to manage both a Club and café operation
  • Supportive Board and leadership team
  • Fantastic regional lifestyle and genuine work-life balance
