The development of a Future Building Works Plan and update of the club’s Strategic Plan are key

available to support the club’s endeavours and support the current management committee who
seek to build on the success of the previous committee.
Council’s foremost priority remains beach safety. If PBSLSC is unsuccessful in its attempts to reform,
Council will be obliged to provide lifeguards via SLSQ contract lifeguard services 365 days per year
to ensure a safe bathing and beach environment is maintained.
