The latest round of the NSW Government’s Surf Club Facility Program has opened for 2026/27, with surf clubs up and down the coast able to apply for funding from a pool of $5.5 million.
The NSW Government is significantly expanding its investment in shark-spotting drone technology to help keep people safer in the water with year-round coverage that will deliver the largest expansion of aerial shark surveillance in the world.
Congratulations to the NSW Surf Life Saving leaders recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours for lifetime contributions spanning frontline patrols to international leadership.
129 new publicly accessible Shark Bite Trauma Kits will be installed at each of the state’s surf clubs as part of Surf Life Saving NSW’s continued focus on increased community safety.
61 individual projects across more than a third of the surf clubs in NSW underscore the $5.4 million commitment from the NSW Government’s Surf Club Facilities Program in 2026 – with all recipients formally announced at Wanda SLSC.
Emma Dawson from Broulee Surfers SLSC and Jonathan Kodomichalos from Coogee SLSC have been named the 2026 NSW Junior Lifesavers of the Year after three days of team building and leadership development on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
Twenty-two of the state’s most passionate lifesavers of the future will pack their bags and travel to Sydney’s Northern Beaches in April for the 2026 NSW Junior Lifesaver of the Year (JLOTY) camp – three days of networking, activities, and idea sharing among likeminded volunteers.
The City of Sydney and across NSW was a sea of colour yesterday as the inaugural Red & Yellow Day – a national day that provides an opportunity to recognise the vital work of volunteer lifesavers along our coastline – was celebrated on 4 March.
