Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club will receive two new roller doors thanks to a grant of almost $8,000 from the 2022 Community Building Partnership Program.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the funds would be used to replace two damaged roller doors, which are unsafe and faulty.
“The funding ensures that the surf club can focus on keeping our lifeguards and beachgoers safe,” she said.
“The work the surf club does is important and ensuring the club is safe and welcoming is pivotal to allowing the club to focus on safety.”
Club President Dean Slattery said the current roller doors were chain operated and faulty.
“The funding will make the surf club environment a lot safer,” he said.
“Without the investment of the Community Building Partnership Program, funding would have been taken away from training and safety equipment.”
