Paekakariki Surf Lifeguards

• Radio New Zealand coverage of building closure

    5 September 2021

  Thanks to Jake McKee at Radio New Zealand for covering the latest update on our building - the current clubhouse has been closed due to structural concerns, leading to a risk there will be no surf lifeguards this summer.

  We're currently working to source temporary buildings to ensure we can patrol the beach, but it just makes our new build fundraising even more urgent.

  Thanks so much for your ongoing support!

• Lease secured!

    17 July 2021

  

  We've reached a huge milestone - the Greater Wellington Regional Council has granted a lease for the land where our new building is planned. That means it's all go for securing resource consent over the next two months, then breaking ground in 2022! Thanks for your support so far, it's hugely appreciated.
