Waverley Council has announced that the Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club conservation project was approved by the Sydney Eastern City Planning panel on June 3rd, and the transformation of the heritage building is set to go ahead.
Waverley Mayor Paula Masselos announced the green-light on the conservation project, saying that “this conservation and upgrade project will address accessibility challenges, equal female to male facilities, and space for nippers.” The plans for the upgrade will “provide equality of facilities for females”, as it was noted that women comprise of 40% of new members to the Bondi Surf Club.
Masselos said that the plan will “return open space to the local community, increase public green space and native vegetation, improve public amenity, encourage greater community interaction, improve accessibility and restore these spectacular views.”
