Program Details

About the Surf Club Facility Program

The NSW Government recognises the critical role Surf Life Saving Clubs have in local communities delivering on-beach safety, training and education and keeping people active and connected. 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. The Program is in its eighth year, and since round one (2017/2018) the NSW Government has invested over $28 million in Surf Life Saving Clubs to create fit-for-purpose facilities in local communities to increase participation, access, and safety on our NSW beaches. In the 2023/24 Budget the NSW government announced an additional $5 million over four years to enhance the Program. The 2024/2025 round will continue to support the upgrade, expansion, and construction of new, safe and inclusive Surf Club facilities in NSW.

Key objectives
The Program aims to assist eligible Surf Life Saving Clubs throughout NSW to create new and upgraded inclusive and accessible facilities incorporating best practice design principles that:

  • Reduce barriers to participation in sport and recreation for everyone but particularly for women and girls, people with disability, First Nations peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and LGBTQIA+ people
  • Increase the use of Surf Life Saving facilities by other community groups and/or the public
  • Improve safety at Surf Life Saving facilities and the beaches they patrol
  • Improve the financial and/or environmental sustainability of Surf Clubs.
