Fees waived for surf club deck

Gosford Council will waive $3384 in council fees for the extension of the Umina Surf Life Saving Clubhouse deck.

The club was successful in receiving funding from the government through the Infrastructure Grants Program for the construction of an extension to the first floor covered balcony.

It was proposed to erect a five metre extension to the existing balcony on the southern elevation of the clubhouse building.

The extension will be supported by concrete columns and will be covered with a roof in the same design, material and colour as the existing building.

Glass and steel balustrades will be installed, consistent with existing materials.

The clubhouse sits on Umina Beach Recreation Reserve which is Crown land of which Council is trust manager.

Umina Surf Life Saving Club leases the building and its immediate surrounds from the council.
