Port Kembla Surf Club will receive $43,392 in funding through the Minns Labor Government’s Surf Club Facility Program.
The Program provides grant for projects that involve the upgrade, restoration or construction of new surf life saving facilities.
This year’s Program also included grants for project design and planning, ensuring surf club projects are supported from concept to completion.
Port Kembla Surf Club’s funding will go towards a project that will ultimately lead to the construction of a new, purpose-built facility that consolidates two existing, outdated structures into a single, modern surf rescue and club storage hub.
Member for Wollongong, Paul Scully said, “Surf Clubs and their volunteers play a vital role in the Illawarra making sure that local and visitors are safe at our beaches.
“Port Kembla Surf Club have been working towards a modern surf rescue and club facility for some time, and this grant will really help with push the project along.”
