Sydney Cricket Ground Trust


The Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust was an agency of the Government of New South Wales that operated the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was merged into Venues NSW on 1 December 2020.
The SCG Trust operated the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium, and former Sydney Sports Ground and at Moore Park in Sydney. In mid-2008, its head office The Sheridan Building opened, making it the third building to be built in the Gold Members Car Park, alongside the headquarters of Sydney City Roosters and New South Wales Rugby Union. These buildings were demolished during the 2018 redevelopment of the SFS. The headquarters of the National Rugby League and Rugby Australia remain adjacent to the 2022-opened Allianz Stadium.
In 2007 the UTS-Balmain club formed a partnership with the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust and are now known as Sydney CC or Sydney Cricket Club or just simply Sydney Tigers.

Sculptures

Under former Chairman Rodney Cavalier, the Trust commissioned bronze sculptures to be placed around the grounds of the SCG and SFS. The sculptures were funded by Australian philanthropist Basil Sellers and the collection is known as the Basil Sellers SCG Sculpture Project.
