Life Savers Club Revamp
Story: Redcliffe Guide
Published On : Jul 27, 2016
The old building on Suttons Beach, which is the Redcliffe Surf Life Saving clubhouse, may soon be but a memory for long-time Peninsula locals.
The Redcliffe Surf Life Saving Club was born in 1991 and was initially based in a shipping container.
A year later, the club relocated to the green-roofed building that now rests on the edge of Moreton Bay.
With the help of local Federal Member Luke Howarth MP, the club has now secured Federal Government funding to redevelop their building.
The Surf Lifesaving Club does an amazing job in our area, said Luke Howarth MP.
They look after swimmers at Suttons Beach and teach local children water safety and how to swim in open water, all while helping our community become more active and cohesive.
The clubhouse expansion would provide a training area and a function area, available for hire, as well as the potential for a coffee shop that would be open for breakfast.
Club Administrator Edith Ralston-Bailey said club membership had increased 200 per cent in the past three years, with our main focus on the active nippers and senior patrolling members.
This should assure users of Suttons Beach that they are in safe hands.
Suttons Beach is listed, as per the Courier Mail, as one of the top 10 most popular family beaches, so it will not come as a surprise that over 400 preventative actions took place last season.
Ms Ralston-Bailey said the club was moving onwards and upwards, and was looking forward to a new building that could better serve the membership and wider community.
Our members are extremely excited about the development of the club, and with the federal coalition making an election commitment of $400,000 to upgrade, [we] are now excited to see the plan develop into a reality.
