Narrabeen Beach Surf Lifesaving Club will receive a new life-saving device after the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government awarded more than $500,000 through the Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program.
Candidate for Pittwater, Rory Amon, welcomed the announcement and said the grant covered the full cost of the equipment, enabling more sporting organisations to benefit from the program.
“This new life-saving device will have a big part to play in keeping our volunteer surf lifesavers and local beach-goers safe,” Mr Amon said.
The Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program is aimed at providing Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and associated equipment to NSW sport and recreation facilities and clubs.
The NSW Government allocated $2 million for the program over 4 years (2022 to 2026). It also provides up to $500,000 in grants to eligible sporting clubs and facility owners every financial year through the Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program.
