Holstein criticises surf club support

The State Government's contribution towards the Ocean Beach and Umina Beach Surf Lifesaving Clubs reconstruction is too little to benefit the surf clubs and their members, Liberal candidate Cr Chris Holstein has said.

"While I welcome the government's contribution, it's all too little for the benefit that the surf clubs and their members that put so much in to this community," Cr Holstein said.

"The two Peninsula surf club are being rebuilt at a total cost of over $4 million and the State Government's contribution is only six per cent of the total cost.

"Ninety four per cent is funded by the council and ratepayer.

"I remind the ratepayers the Peninsula Leisure Centre got less then one per cent of its funding from the Labor State Government."

"It is totally disappointing that we again on the Peninsula get the crumbs from this Labor Government."
