FUNDING has been secured for the expansion of the Carrum Surf Life Saving Club.
Kingston Council has agreed to spend $800,000 of ratepayer’s money to renovate the building. The state government will put in $1.5 million.
Expansion works will include an expanded ground floor storage capacity, more changing facilities, a first-floor deck for lifesaving activity, additional office and dry storage space, and other minor refurbishments.
Construction is expected to begin in March 2022, to be completed by the end of the year.
Kingston councillor Cameron Howe said “in the past five years, Carrum had the highest median number of rescues of all metropolitan clubs, and with the increasing popularity of Carrum beach, enhancing the storage and emergency response capacity is essential.”
