Bancoora SLSC to benefit if Labor re-elected

SURF lifesavers, Nippers and the broader community are set to benefit from a better Bancoora Surf Life Saving Club under a re-elected Andrews Labor Government.

Labor, if it retains power, will invest $4.15 million to build a new clubhouse and patrol tower at Bancoora Beach, delivering new facilities that the whole community can use and be proud of.

South Barwon Labor MP Darren Cheeseman said surf clubs were the lifeblood of coastal communities and brought families together through a shared love of the ocean and the beach.

“We’re all keen to get back in the water as the weather warms up – that’s why Labor is delivering the Bancoora Surf Life Saving Club the facilities they need to keep us safe each summer.

“Swimming and the beach are part of the fabric of the South Barwon community.

“Every week, thousands of locals make their way to Bancoora Beach and this announcement will mean they will be in better resourced and safer hands.”

Labor says it has invested more than $1.6 billion into upgrading and improving local recreational reserves, sports grounds and surf club facilities across the state.
