Ocean Beach Surf Lifesaving Club is set to replace its flagpole, thanks to $2,000 in funding through the Federal Government’s Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program.
Member for Robertson Gordon Reid met recently with Ocean Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Grants Officer Kevin Manning and Caretaker Bob Nash to announce the funding.
Club Grants Officer Kevin Manning welcomed the announcement.
“The club’s flagpoles are frequently used during the patrol season and for special occasions like ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day,” he said.
“One flagpole has become a WHS matter, and so this funding from the Federal Government will allow the club to replace it.”
Club Caretaker Bob Nash thanked Reid for his support in advocating for the funding.
Reid said he was pleased a replacement flagpole would allow the club to continue flying its flags during the patrol season and during special events.
“I look forward to continuing to support all our hardworking and brilliant surf lifesaving clubs on the Central Coast,” he said.
The Saluting Their Service Program is for projects which commemorate the service and sacrifice of Australia’s military personnel in wars, conflicts, and peace operations.
Funding through Batch 2 is available from June 14-October 10.
