Merewether Surf Club Maintenance Works Are Complete

City of Newcastle

This important maintenance initiative was completed earlier than expected thanks to favourable weather conditions and the partnership with local contractor, Collaborative Construction Solutions.

The building was first constructed in 1972, followed by subsequent extensions and renewals in 1980 and 2000. This work was undertaken to replace the existing roof to address leaks occurring during storm events, while also addressing essential electrical maintenance.

The key works completed included:

  • replacement of the existing roof and structure to improve the slope of the roof
  • increasing the capacity of the roof drainage system, including new box gutters, overflows and downpipes
  • essential improvements of the electrical services
  • repairs to windows and the eastern façade
  • improvements to the internal fit out.

This venue is used by a diverse range of community members, and this work ensures the facility remains safe and sustainable.

This project was co-funded by the NSW Government's Surf Club Facility Program (SCFP) and builds on similar SCFP-funded maintenance work completed at Dixon Park SLSC in April 2024.
