There will be no reduction in parking spaces available in the car park.
At certain times during construction traffic control will be present to help people get around the work area. At these times, please drive slowly and pay attention to all warning signs and instructions from the Traffic Controllers.
You may experience some construction noise due to demolition, framing and concrete pouring etc.
We will work to minimise disruption where possible and appreciate your patience as we deliver this important community upgrade.
A fenced site compound will be established at the northern end of the building.
The northern beach pathway will be closed throughout the duration of works.
The other 2 beach paths will remain open and accessible.
The public amenities and SLSC facilities will remain open.
The North Narrabeen Boardriders Club will store equipment in temporary storage during the works.

Project snapshot
North Narrabeen Surf Life Saving Club (NNSLSC) has been home to life savers since 1912 and the North Narrabeen Boardriders Club (NNBC) since 1964. The existing clubhouse was built in two stages, with the final stage opened in 1983.
We're now making general upgrades to the building to improve accessibility and community and member use of the space, including:
- an extension to provide a meeting room for the NNBC
- an enclosed space and renewal of part of the first-floor balcony (balustrades, cladding and stairs)
- a new covered deck for the cafe
- renewal of the BBQ area
- refurbishment of internal areas with new ceilings, lighting, flooring, tiling and signage
- landscaping to integrate the club building with the car park, beach access and playground.
Further upgrades will be delivered in the future subject to funding. These works are detailed under Stage 3 of the initial concept plans under the Engagement outcomes tab.
