The clubhouse and amenities block next to North Narrabeen rockpool has been significantly upgraded by Northern Beaches Council in time for the busy summer swim season.
Work commenced in March 2019 and was completed in September this year. The detailed refurbishment involved upgrading the men’s and women’s toilets as well as the addition of an accessible amenity and family change room.
The swim club on the upper floor was also refurbished to provide a new kitchen and undercover outdoor BBQ area, with additional room for storage and office space.
A refreshed external appearance, undercover seating, a ramp and a walkway completed the project.
Northern Beaches Council Mayor Michael Regan said both local swim clubs and the broader community would benefit from these significant works.
“Given the area is highly utilised all year round, it’s great to increase the use and enjoyment of the community space,” Mayor Regan said.
“Thanks to the Narrabeen Amateur Swimming Club, Narrabeen Lakes Amateur Swimming Club, Learn to Swim groups and the winter Shivering Sharks for working with us to achieve such a great outcome. This is now a much more usable space for members of these important local clubs and other users.
“I’m pleased we have been able to deliver the works on time with summer just a few weeks away.”
Brody O’Mara, president of Narrabeen Amateur Swimming Club thanked Council for completing the project.
"This renovation has given our club a new, more modern home that will last well into the future, and will allow us to continue to grow our family friendly club,” Mr O’Mara said.
“I would like to thank Northern Beaches Council for completing this upgrade with absolute professionalism and efficiency.”
