For our members to receive such great offers by simply being part of the club is fantastic and offers a real value exchange.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Together, Surf Coast Football Club and Newflo Plumbing share a long-term vision for a connected, sustainable and thriving Surf Coast. This partnership is more than financial support \u2013 it&#8217;s a joint effort to build a stronger future for the community they&#8217;re both proud to be part of.<\/p>\n<p>As the club looks ahead to what is looking to become the biggest season in the clubs&#8217; history by participation, NewFlo Stadium will host a serious of local derby&#8217;s and exciting events that aren&#8217;t to be missed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>\/\/SPONSORED CONTENT <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SURF Coast Football Club is excited to announce Newflo Plumbing as its new major partner for the 2026 and 2027 seasons, bringing together two local organisations that genuinely care about sustainability, community and the long-term wellbeing of the Surf Coast.
