THE Bonbeach Life Saving Club has officially opened its new clubhouse.

The new $4.5 million facility will be used by the club’s 128 members. Bonbeach life savers performed 337 preventative actions and undertook two rescues during the last season of their operation.

The two-storey clubhouse features a new storage room, kitchenette, and observation tower. A new training and multipurpose space has also opened.

Kingston ratepayers contributed $2.5 million to the project, and the state government allocated $2 million towards it. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “the new Bonbeach Life Saving Club facility is a very special place.  The new facility, with improved amenities and equipment, is so very different to the old club rooms. It is absolutely fit for purpose and will support ongoing volunteer lifesaving services for the community for years to come.”

Ms Kilkenny said that the club has “a strong and proud history, boasting so many wonderful, selfless and generous people who have put in so much energy, time and passion over the years to keep our community safe. And more recently, this is a club that is fully embracing people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds; teaching them vital water safety skills and training them to be lifesavers themselves.”

The Bonbeach Life Saving Club is celebrating 90 years of operation this year.
