$7.65 million pledge for surf life saving club
PLANS for a multi-million upgrade of the Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club were given a boost last week when Member for Wannon Dan Tehan pledged $7.65 million for the project if re-elected.
During a visit to the facility on the weekend, Mr Tehan said an elected Liberal government would support safer beachers and improved community infrastructure through a $7.65 million allocation to the Warrnambool project.
“This commitment will help ensure lifesavers, beachgoers and the local community have access to modern, purpose-built lifesaving facilities,” he said.
“This project will ensure our lifesavers have the facilities they need to patrol effectively and improve beach access for everyone in the community.
“I’ll always listen and fight for our community. This project will enhance safety, support lifesaving operations and create a more inclusive space for all beachgoers.”
The Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club recently launched its Community Capital Appeal for a new facility.
The club, which has been running for more than 90 years, is now in need of a modern, purpose-built facility.
Concept plans have been drawn up and it is estimated the project will cost around $16 million.
