Warriewood Surf Club works completed

• Upgraded outdoor facilities at Warriewood Surf Life Saving Club.

In partnership with the NSW Government and Warriewood Surf Life Saving Club, Council has upgraded the outdoor facilities at the club improving the area for both the club and community to utilise.

The upgrades, which took place over five months include a new outdoor shower platform and wash down area for club rescue equipment, realigned external stairs on the western façade and expanded forecourt area with new paving ensuring safe pedestrian access.

A new recessed bin storage enclosure under the stairs, stormwater and drainage improvements, designated accessible parking, and improved accessibility to the lifeguards room and boat storage as well as improvements to the adjoining access road and retaining wall in conjunction with the works.

The works for the almost 900 strong club were essential to make the facility's outdoor area more functional and fit for purpose whilst improving safety and accessibility in and around the building.

The project will complement the building upgrade works planned for the club's interior, which will also be funded by the NSW Government in partnership with Warriewood Surf Club and Northern Beaches Council.

President John Dulieu of the club said the much-needed works will ensure the longevity of the club to provide emergency services to the community.

"This project has not only benefitted the members of our club but members of the public, other local groups and emergency services, regional groups and the entire community.

Ensuring our Clubhouse surrounds are safe and accessible is vital to community inclusion and increasing participation opportunities for all."

Warriewood Beach is patrolled from September to April every year by both Council and volunteer life savers. Last season club volunteers conducted over 5,750 patrol hours alone.

This project was proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with Warriewood Surf Club and Northern Beaches Council.
