The Wamberal Express Boardriders Club will receive $10,000 towards new equipment for surfing competitions and athlete development programs thanks to the NSW Government’s $37.2M Local Small Commitments Allocation Program.

“The $10,000 funding is an exciting outcome for the Wamberal Express Boardriders Club and the local community,” Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said.

“Getting out and active on our beautiful coastline is such a wonderful way to improve community health, both physical and mental.

“The NSW Government is proud to support community sport and the Wamberal Express Boardriders Club, which has so many benefits for the health and identity of local people.”

NSW Government spokesperson for Terrigal Mark Buttigieg said the government had committed funds to the program which helped small local projects and programs that strengthened communities and provided improvements at a local level.

“Local surfers in Wamberal have scored big time thanks to the NSW Government’s Local Small Commitments Allocation program,” he said.

“This $10,000 investment into Wamberal Express Boardriders Club will assist in the club’s competitions and athlete development programs, importantly drawing more surfers to Wamberal.”
