On Saturday 22 April I was also very pleased to open the newly extended Barwon Heads 13th Beach Surf Life Saving Club, to which the Andrews state government has provided nearly $1.4 million. These fantastic new facilities include extra training spaces, increased emergency equipment storage, a gym and an upgraded kitchen, with change room facilities as well. The club formed in 1961 and today is a strong and highly respected organisation keeping our beaches safe. Many thanks to all the members of the club, led by president Matthew Burke and past president Andrew McKinnon. I look forward to working with the club.
