Major $15 million redevelopment planned for Maroubra Surf Club

Randwick City Council has announced a $15 million redevelopment of Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club in Sydney's east to provide modern, fit-for-purpose facility that supports volunteer lifesaving, training, youth development and community connection for generations to come.

Maroubra SLSC is one of Australia’s founding surf clubs established in 1906. The Club provides volunteer patrols of Maroubra Beach complementing Council lifeguard services as well as surf sport and water safety education and training for the community.

It currently has 1,410 members and plays a key role in supporting local beach safety and youth development initiatives.

The planned redevelopment comes after 18 months of consultation with club members. The proposed design features a larger gym, upgraded amenities, and new spaces for members. It includes function and meeting rooms, a kitchen, a bar, an outdoor terrace, and improved storage for lifesaving equipment.

Public features will include beach access improvements, showers, a barista window, landscaped seating areas, and weather-protected decks. The new building aims to reflect the club’s cultural heritage while addressing future needs, using sustainable materials, natural ventilation, and solar panels to enhance environmental performance.

The redevelopment is funded by all three levels of government. Randwick City Council is contributing $10.5 million, the Federal Government is providing $3.5 million, and the State Government is contributing $1 million. Construction is expected to begin in 2027–28, subject to consultation outcomes, design refinements, and future budget allocations.

The project team is gathering community feedback until 25th July 2025. The final design will be refined based on input received during the consultation period before progressing to the next stage.
