Vale David Whittaker

Published Mon 31 Jan 2022

It's with a heavy heart that we share the news of David's passing. 

Serving WPNSW as CEO between 2014 - 2018 David was responsible for the resurgence of NSW and laid the foundations for many of the programs in existence today. The Sydney Super League and State Team Program as it stands today can be traced back to initiatives started under David's time as CEO.

David was more than just a CEO, he was a member and supporter of Sydney Uni Water Polo Club and an active referee. You would often spot David on the side of the pool at metro games, events, and he was a big supporter of regional development. Even as CEO of WPVIC David would assist NSW regional associations with refereeing and junior referee education.

David will be sorely missed by all our community and our sincerest condolences go out to his family, friends and all those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
