An overview of the Surf Club Facility Program 2026/27

The Surf Club Facility Program (the Program) is part of the NSW Government’s ongoing commitment to support the upgrade of local Surf Life Saving Clubs.

Key objectives

The Program aims to assist Surf Life Saving Clubs throughout NSW to create new, or upgrade existing facilities that are safe, adaptable, inclusive, environmentally sustainable and climate resilient.
