Grant Success – New Boat Ramps

The club has received the wonderful news that we have been successful in obtaining a grant of $136,300 from the NSW Government’s Boating Now program to build two improved access ramps.This funding, along with co-funding commitments from Woollahra Municipal Council, The Australian 18 Footers League and DBSC will allow us to upgrade both of the boat ramps to the west of the clubhouse. Over the next 12 months a volunteer team will liaise with stakeholders to refine the plan, get approvals and implement the project.  Thanks to the many members who have worked diligently to obtain this funding, including: Emily Ball, Rod Barnes, John Chesterman, Andrew Cox, Mark Crowhurst, Geoff Kirk, and Andrew Simpson.As none of us are getting any younger, and the boat ramp seems to get steeper at the end of every race, we look forward to the completion of this much needed upgrade.
