The future redevelopment of Williamstown Swimming and Life Saving Club (WSLSC) is finally set to move ahead following the passing of the Hobsons Bay City Council’s Budget last night.
At last night’s meeting it was resolved that $5.5 million would be allocated to the redevelopment of WSLSC’s redevelopment.
This investment is welcome following after an $11.35 million investment was announced by the State Labor Government in 2021.
Member for Williamstown, Melissa Horne said she was glad to see the investment by Hobsons Bay City Council and that the community could finally be assured that this vital project for Williamstown could proceed with the co-commitment by Council.
Quotes attributable to Member for Williamstown Melissa Horne
“I commend the Williamstown Swimming and Life Saving Cub for all the hard work the committee members have undertaken to ensure that this is a project that is finally backed by Council.”
” The State made it clear that the upgrade of the Club and the protection of the heritage club building was a project of importance following the allocation of $11.35 million in the 2021-2022 State Budget.”
“It is great to see that finally Council has decided to back the community and back the important work that the Club does to keep people safe and teach people how to swim.”
Ends.
