THE LNP COMMIT $500,000 TO THE WHITSUNDAY SAILING CLUB

Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox, has today announced that an elected Dutton Liberal National Government will provide $500,000 for upgrades to the Whitsundays Sailing Club.

“The Whitsundays Sailing Club is renowned for its vibrant sailing community and stunning waterfront views in Sunny Far North Queensland,” Mr Willcox said.

“The club hosts various events throughout the year, fostering an inclusive welcoming environment for members and guests, but it is in desperate need of a walkway and pontoon to allow the expanding club to continue to service the region well into the future.

“This $500,000 commitment from the LNP will allow tenders to come in and tie up, so they can access shopping and activities on the mainland. The Pontoon will allow all ability sailors to access their sailing boats so they can enjoy their time on the water.

“The LNP backs regional Queensland, and I am determined to get our fair share of funding for projects like this one at Whitsunday Sailing Club.”

Whitsunday Sailing Club President, Terry Archer, said “The timing of this funding commitment by the Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox is perfect following the announcement that Olympic Sailing is coming to the Whitsundays in 2032.

“I would like to thank Mr Willcox and the LNP for backing our regional sailing. This will not only benefit the Whitsunday Sailing Club but the community as well.”
