Cape Paterson Surf Life Saving Club

Ms SHING (Eastern Victoria) (10:05:25) — I rise today to congratulate the Cape Paterson Surf Life Saving Club. Its president, Dean Manns, along with other advocates, including Kate McLaughlin, have done so much to be able to secure funding totalling $3.2 million from the Andrews Labor government, alongside $500 000 from Bass Coast Shire Council and an incredible $800 000 raised by the local community. It was wonderful to see Mark ‘Doogs’ Legg, Kate and so many other life members at the club to announce this additional $1 million grant to enable this new facility to be built after years of advocacy.
