Construction of a new building for the Mona Vale Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) will finally start this winter. The Northern Beaches Council has approved the plans submitted last October 2018 to change its old building and improve its facilities.
The existing building on Surfview Road will be demolished to make way for a larger structure that will satisfy the needs of the club members for the next decades.

“The project will provide a fit for purpose facility that suits the needs of the surf club and the community. The new building will address ongoing storage issues, improve accessibility and safety, and provide commercial activities to generate revenue for Council,” the Development Application stated.
The new home of the Mona Vale Surf Club will be a two-storey building with the following amenities:
- lift
- commercial restaurant and cafes
- gym
- change rooms
- function room
- equipment storage room
- first aid room
- lifeguard room
- administrative office
This is considered the first stage of the project. The Council expects that there will be another assessment by June 2020 for the next stage.
The projected cost of this refurbishment was at $6.7 million and the funds have been sourced from the Northern Beaches Council, the Pittwater Council SRV Program, the NSW Stronger Communities Fund, and through contributions from club members.
