Albany Surf Life Saving Club Redevelopment

Background

ASLSC provides a highly valued community service for Albany and the Great Southern in the delivery of lifesaving, emergency response, first aid, training and education, and intergenerational sport, recreation, and community events.

In response to the recent infrastructure upgrades within the Middleton Beach Precinct and growing memberships, ASLSC undertook a review of its strategic vision to address several pressing challenges and opportunities affecting its future.

The expansion and redevelopment of the existing club house was identified as a key project to be delivered as part of the ASLSC Strategic Plan to provide:

  • A safer, more efficient, and welcoming community facility:
  • Improved lifesaving and water safety operations; and
  • Increased community engagement through new training and education spaces.

Objectives

The main project objectives are:

  • To address key safety risks related to the access and storage of motorised water safety equipment,
  • To improve the safety, capacity and efficiency of core delivery areas – lifesaving, emergency services, training and education, surf sports and competition, community capacity building;
  • To increase community benefit – improving the quality, capacity and accessibility of community facilities and services; and
  • To assist City of Albany meet growing community demand at Middleton Beach and support the Foreshore and Activity Centre redevelopment goals and community strategic plans.

Scope

The scope of work comprises of:

  • The expansion and separation of motorised water safety equipment and surf sports equipment.
  • A centralised and dedicated life saving hub
