Whiritoa Receives $1.5 Million Grant for New Clubhouse
We are thrilled to announce that Whiritoa has been awarded a $1,500,000 capex funding grant from SLSNZ, designated for our new clubhouse building project. This substantial funding marks a significant milestone in our journey, enabling us to proceed once the final design is completed and approved.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the building subcommittee team for their unwavering dedication and behind-the-scenes efforts to bring the project to this stage. Additionally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to SLSNZ for their generous support, which will play a crucial role in ensuring a safe beach for the Whiritoa community and our visitors.
Stay tuned for further updates as we progress towards realising this exciting project.
Thank you for your continued support!
