A new side-by-side buggy for Central Coast Junior Motorcycle Club, funded under the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnerships Program, will reinforce the club’s ability to respond to safety incidents involving riders.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the investment in potentially life-saving equipment for the club aligned with the goals of the Community Building Partnership Program.
“In sporting activities, safety is always paramount, and in the exhilarating sport of motorbike riding it is no exception,” she said.
“Central Coast Junior Motorcycle Club has dependably maintained a staunch commitment to the safety of its participants and it is therefore fantastic to see the club, with the addition of this first aid vehicle, being well placed to respond to injured riders more efficiently.”
President David Smith said the club was delighted to have secured the new Kawasaki Mule SX XC 4 x 4 with the help of $11,497 in funding.
He thanked Tesch for her assistance in securing the grant.
“This buggy is a vital piece of equipment which will significantly enhance our medical team’s ability to respond to accidents involving riders, ensuring their safety and wellbeing during events,” he said.
Successful recipients of the 2023 Community Building Partnership program in the Gosford electorate have included equipment upgrades at sporting facilities, equipment modernisation at community activity hubs, training and equipment for counsellors, playspace upgrades and many others.
The Community Building Partnerships Program has funded more than 19,700 community projects since it commenced in 2009.
