Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips today announced that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will deliver $512,000 to upgrade the Kiama Surf Life Saving Club.

This election commitment will upgrade the club’s facilities and make it a fit-for-purpose space for training and social activities for young members of the club.

This builds on Fiona Phillips’ previous delivery of $5.5 million for the new Gerringong Surf Club.

Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.
