ASPENDALE Life Saving Club’s new $5.7 million clubhouse is complete.
The lifesaving club officially opened its new facility last week. The two-storey building includes new toilets, a rainwater tank, LED lighting, training rooms, a kitchen, an observation room, and a first aid area.
The project was jointly funded by Kingston Council, which allocated $3.7 million in funds to it, and the state government, which spent $2 million.
Aspendale Life Saving Club has around 600 members who will share the new rooms. Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said, “I’m thrilled that the Aspendale Life Saving Club has the dedicated spaces and resources it needs to continue to protect the community, support volunteer services and teach vital water safety skills.”
“The new facility will be a valuable community hub, providing social and health benefits for Aspendale residents and supporting our committed volunteers to serve locals and visitors alike,” he said.
Aspendale Life Saving Club’s old clubrooms were built 40 years ago. The club will celebrate 100 years of operation in 2026.
