Orewa Surf Lifesaving Club has been awarded a grant of $2m through Auckland Council’s Sport & Recreation Facilities Investment Fund.
The money provides cornerstone funding that is a crucial step in making its community hub and clubhouse redevelopment project a reality.
“To finally have this funding confirmed is a huge boost to the project”, says project committee chair, John Chapman. It enables the club to formally apply for the further funding it needs to get the project off the ground.
The club expects to be lodging for Building Consent by the end of next month.
Cr John Watson says the Albany Ward did very well out of this year’s funding round – receiving well over half the total funding allocated. This includes a smaller grant to do an investigation into an indoor multi-sport facility at Metro Park in Millwater.
