Some great news this week as the State Government stepped in to provide the final $2.5 million funding to rebuild the Mona Vale Surf Life Saving Club building. The concept design is spectacular and overwhelmingly supported by the community.
It will provide top facilities for our volunteer and professional lifesavers but will also be used extensively by the broader community for decades to come.This is another success story of our amalgamated Council – made possible with savings and funds secured as a result of the Council merger including the State Government Stronger Communities Fund.
A huge thanks to local MP Rob Stokes and hats off to the collaboration between Council, Club and the working group who have got the project to this point. We expect to start work by mid next year.It’s exciting that the renewal of Long Reef Surf Club is also motoring on with some positive early feedback from the community on the draft plans. You can still see and comment on the plans on our website or visit the drop-in session at the Club today, 12 – 2pm.And of course Council voted last week to get the planning for a new surf club building at Manly underway. The current building is old and tired and not meeting the needs of the many groups, locals and visitors that use it. We’ll be starting from scratch on this one and I’m looking forward to hearing the vision of the community and the Club so
we can create an iconic building befitting its world-renowned location. Finally a shout out to all those dedicated grandparents out there. Spoil them rotten tomorrow as it’s NSW Grandparents Day. Council is hosting an expo for grandparents (and kids) on 8 November at Dee Why RSL. The Grand Connections expo promises to be a jam-packed day with over 20 information stalls, fun interactive play sessions, grandparenting workshops and a family photo booth. And it’s all free.Have a great weekend.
