Tallebudgera Surf Club receives facelift
Tallebudgera Surf Life Saving Club is close to finishing a $150,000 upgrade of its change rooms courtesy of the State Government.
The $150,000 project was funded through the Crisafulli Government’s $250m Games On! program.
The renovation was designed to be completed before the start of its summer beach patrols, which are run by the club from mid-September through to the end of April each year.
The club also has an extensive surf sports program from nippers to open and masters competition.
Minister for Sport and Racing and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tim Mander said Surf Life Savers deserved the best facilities that could be provided.
“Queensland’s Surf Life Savers commit their time, skill, determination and courage to protect their community,’’ Mr Mander said.
“The changerooms will support the sport program here, which is helping to hone the skills required on patrol as well as guiding and training our future Surf Life Savers.
“Better facilities will also encourage greater participation to see even more Queenslanders being active.”
Member for Burleigh Hermann Vorster said the upgraded facilities would mean a safer Gold Coast community.
“We committed $150,000 to deliver these renovations and help the Tallebudgera Surf Life Savers,” Mr Vorster said.
“We want the best facilities, not only to keep our community safe, but also to attract and retain the dedicated volunteers who make surf lifesaving possible.
“These upgrades will back in their efforts, strengthen participation, and ensure the next generation of surf lifesavers has the support they need to keep our beaches safe.
“I can’t wait to see the finished works as we look forward to another huge summer on the Gold Coast.”
