Pick My Project wins local vote for funding consideration

Training and community facility upgrade

Our application to Victoria State Government Pick My Project program for funding to to upgrade and update Woolamai Beach SLSC’s community and training area has succeeded in the required local vote and will be considered for funding.

Upgrades include new fridges, lights, tables, chairs, the renovation of toilets and the construction of a new clubhouse entrance which will provide a more direct, public-friendly entrance to the club community area. The clubhouse was originally built in 2000, in original condition, and is in need of a serious overhaul. With this funding, the club will be able to provide a clean, professional looking community area which will be able to be used by local community group gatherings, weddings (fundraising) and club social events.
By upgrading the clubhouse community and training area, the clubhouse will be able to become a meeting place for community groups. We are improving our training and education area not only to broaden member training but to also enable minority groups to be included such as disability nippers, CALD youth, troubled teens etc. An increase in weddings and engagement parties will also be able to take place due to upgraded facilities, generating increased revenue to purchase much needed rescue equipment.
