PROJECT UPDATES<br />
Yanchep Surf Life<br />
Saving Club<br />
NORTH<br />
COAST<br />
Construction of the highly<br />
anticipated new Yanchep<br />
Surf Life Saving Club on<br />
Brazier Road continues to<br />
take shape.<br />
The project, which includes<br />
club rooms, new public<br />
change rooms, toilet facilities,<br />
meeting areas and a car park,<br />
is budgeted at $6.8million and<br />
is scheduled for completion in<br />
December <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
Yanchep Surf Life Saving<br />
Club President John<br />
Heesters said the new<br />
building will allow the club to<br />
embrace the future.<br />
“Working out of a run-down building<br />
with little storage space and first aid<br />
equipment limits our ability to provide<br />
effective services,” John said.<br />
“The new premises will allow us to<br />
focus more on the service we provide<br />
for the community rather than trying to<br />
work fixing issues from the run down<br />
building,” he said.<br />
“It will attract people who want to do<br />
good work at the beach and allow our<br />
club to grow.”<br />
Yanchep Active Open Space<br />
The Yanchep Active Open Space<br />
development includes two multi-use<br />
ovals catering for AFL, Little Athletics,<br />
rugby, soccer and cricket, as well as<br />
hardcourts for basketball and netball.<br />
Other facilities will include car park<br />
and drop off facilities, pathways, park<br />
furniture and passive recreation areas.<br />
Construction well underway at the Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club site.<br />
Completed works to date include the<br />
removal of trees and levelling of the<br />
ground to prepare for the playing fields<br />
and finalisation of the construction<br />
tender and contract.<br />
Construction of the playing fields is<br />
scheduled to begin this month while<br />
construction of the building is expected<br />
to commence in February 2017. This<br />
project is budgeted at $7.4million and<br />
the playing fields are scheduled for<br />
completion in mid-2017.<br />
Gumblossom Reserve<br />
multi-purpose room extension<br />
Construction of a new multi-purpose<br />
room extension to the existing<br />
changeroom building is progressing<br />
well and scheduled for completion by<br />
<strong>November</strong> <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
The project is budgeted at $300,000.<br />
There will be a temporary partial<br />
closure of existing facilities while<br />
construction is underway.<br />
Quinns Mindarie Surf Lifesaving Club.<br />
Quinns / Mindarie<br />
Community Centre<br />
This project involves the construction<br />
of a second storey extension to<br />
the existing Quinns Mindarie Surf<br />
Lifesaving Club and extension<br />
adjacent to the building and is<br />
budgeted at $3.1million.<br />
Quinns Rocks Fishing Club President<br />
Richard Lee said the move to a larger<br />
community centre will provide new<br />
opportunities to work with other groups.<br />
“New premises will make for a more<br />
welcoming place to attract more<br />
members and take our club to new<br />
strengths,” Richard said.<br />
“Community facilities in Quinns Rocks<br />
seem to be at capacity and in great<br />
demand,” he said. “Extra space<br />
with a different outlook will provide<br />
opportunities for groups to expand<br />
and having more vibrant, active<br />
groups in the area will give locals the<br />
chance to experience other activities.”<br />
