read moreThe NSW Government has announced $2 million in funding to improve facilities at 12 Surf Life Saving Clubs as part of its Surf Club Facility Grant Program.
Announcing the funding, NSW Minister for Sport and Recreation Gabrielle Upton stated "the program assists with funding both major and minor projects at surf life saving clubs across NSW.
"Projects funded include renovating clubhouses, installing sun shelters, improving amenities, increasing storage facilities and installing disabled access.
"Modern facilities make surf life saving activities more accessible which in turn encourages participation and improves beach goer safety.
"By investing in surf life saving clubs, the NSW Government is also helping to improve the health and wellbeing of our local communities."
With 129 clubs and almost 77,000 members, Surf Life Saving NSW is one of the largest volunteer movements in Australia.
Surf Life Saving NSW President Tony Haven highlighted that surf lifesaving volunteers contribute more than 550,000 hours each season keeping the public safe on NSW beaches.
Haven explained "our dedicated volunteers, ordinary men and women who give up their time to protect the public, deserve to have safe and appropriate facilities in which to train and store vital rescue equipment.
"We are extremely pleased to see the NSW Government recognise the tremendous contribution of our members by supporting them in this way."
