🔵🟡 The dedicated volunteers at North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club will receive a $412,000 NSW Government grant for upgrades to its internal pool as well as new solar panels, battery storage and pool heating system.
Our iconic local surf clubs donate tens of thousands of hours each year to patrolling the beach to keep us safe, educating our kids on water safety and promoting healthy, active lifestyles for so many. It’s important that the clubs have the modern facilities they need to do this work.

WHEN is someone in State Parliament going to “WAKE UP”and let these clubs trade as Licenced Premises exactly as they do in QLD and pay for themselves and be self sufficient !!!! Then there would be no need for government grants and handouts or are ALL of the NSW Parliamentarians in the pockets of the AHA ????
