CLUB HOUSE REBUILD
The South Brighton SLSC has occupied its current site on the corner of Marine Parade and Bridge Street since its formation in 1929. The club house has had several forms in that time and the old building was partially built in the 1960's with an extension and major remodeling undertaken in 1982. After the 2011 earthquakes the club committee obtained a Detailed Engineering Evaluation (DEE) of the old building. The DEE highlighted several major structural issues as well as looking at depth at the damage sustained in the earthquakes. After discussions with engineers and exploring the various options available, the club committee decided that rebuilding the club house was the best course of action for the club and the local community. After a couple of years of fundraising, COVID delays and other issues, the new building is now completed and in full use. Thanks to everyone who has helped with this massive undertaking! This is not just a surf club but a community building for the South Brighton and South Shore area.
