PEREGIAN BEACH SURF LIFE SAVING COLUMN
NEW BOARD IN PLACE FOR 22/23 IT’S BEEN AN EXCITING COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH OUR LOCAL PEREGIAN BEACHBASED CLUB TAKING FURTHER STEPS TO INDEPENDENCE WITH THANKS TO NOOSA HEADS SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB, SURF LIFE SAVING QUEENSLAND SUNSHINE COAST BRANCH, SURF LIFE SAVING QUEENSLAND AND MANY OTHER VOLUNTEERS AND SUPPORTERS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES.
The Annual General Meeting of the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club and Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Supporters Club was held on Saturday, June 6, 2022 for the election of board members. The new team, pictured above, will be led by Club President, John Roderick and Supporters Club Chair, Marinus Jansen. “It has only been possible for the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club to be reestablished from the generous support the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club has undertaken over several years including but not limited to the responsibilities of the patrol service agreement for lifesaving at Peregian Beach. “Sincere thanks to President Ross Fisher and his management committee and all their staff for everyone’s contribution here for the benefit of lifesaving.” Under the stewardship of the Branch President Gerard O’ Brien, there has been a working group preparing for the transition to Peregian Beach SLSC being ready for season 2022/23. This has been a lengthy and complex 22
governance process to start a new club, in essence with Office of Fair Trading, incorporation, ATO compliance for new ABN and application for ACNC not for profit status and negotiating a permit to occupy the building with Noosa Council. “We have now been further encouraged with the progress of the aforementioned items with Noosa Council agreeing to a 10-year lease of the building, giving confidence in the proposed new club and confidence for the volunteers in the future of lifesaving at Peregian Beach.” “Our goals for the upcoming season are to continue the successful junior program of previous years and increase patrolling membership and awards to have a high standard of patrolling at our beach. “The importance of strong financial management in the formative year of the new club is at the forefront of our board’s planning”. We look forward to welcoming you to join us and be part of the journey towards the new 2022-23 season!
