Coogee surf club refurbishment backed by extra $1.4 million

The Coogee Surf Life Saving Club ground-floor refurbishment has been backed by an additional $1.4 million from Randwick City Council, with approximately $990,000 coming from grants.

The allocation is for the club’s Ground Floor Refurbishment project at Coogee, a community and surf lifesaving facility that also supports emergency-response activity.

Councillors endorsed the additional funding on 25 August 2026. The resolution identifies the grant contribution but does not state the project’s total cost, construction timetable, delivery model or contractor.

That leaves the funding commitment confirmed while procurement and construction details remain unspecified. No successful tenderer, supplier or local business was named in the decision details.

The allocation supports the project’s next stage and increases the funding committed to the refurbishment. The supplied decision does not describe the scope of the ground-floor works or identify when building work will begin.

The grant contribution represents approximately $990,000 of the additional allocation. The resolution does not identify the source of the remaining project funding.

The same council meeting included a separate $3,810 fee waiver for a Surf Life Saving NSW rock-fishing safety workshop at the Prince Henry Centre in Little Bay on 12 September 2026. That measure supports water-safety education, while the $1.4 million allocation is directed to capital works at the Coogee club.

Further details on procurement arrangements, construction timing and the refurbishment scope were not included in the funding resolution.
