Bronte Surf Club and community facilities upgrade

In partnership with Bronte Surf Life Saving Club (Bronte SLSC), Council will redevelop the surf club and community facilities building.

DA Approved

The revised Development Application (DA) for Bronte Surf Life Saving Club and Community Facilities redevelopment [DA-455/2022] was approved by the Sydney Eastern City Planning Panel on 11 April 2024.

We are delighted that the project has reached this milestone and look forward to working in partnership with the club and architects Warren and Mahoney to see the new building and facilities come to life.

Council also congratulates Bronte SLSC for securing $1 million in grant funding for the redevelopment from the NSW Government.

MEDIA RELEASE

Council is working closely with Warren and Mahoney to have the detailed design package go out to tender in the last quarter of 2024, with a view to commence onsite work in late 2024.

The redevelopment will see the existing, dilapidated building demolished to make way for a new, sustainable hub meeting the needs of Waverley Council, contemporary surf life saving and the wider community.

The building is no longer fit for purpose and will be rebuilt to include:

• A balance of female to male facilities
• Family change rooms and accessible amenities
• Adequate facilities to train over 200 lifesavers per year and teach young nippers (currently almost 800)
• Fit-for-purpose lifeguard and lifesaving facilities including adequate storage and training spaces
• lifeguard facilities with change rooms, first aid, and lifeguard tower (to align with Surf Lifesaving Australia requirements and recommendations).
• council staff amenities and storage
• patrol first aid area
• administrative offices
• kiosk, gymnasium and function room
• training and meeting rooms and;
• The promenade will also be upgraded
