The North Avoca Boardriders will receive $10,000 towards a youth development program via the NSW Labor Government’s Local Small Commitments Allocation Program.
The Local Small Commitments Allocation Program will enhance local communities and provide $400,000 in benefits to people in each of the 93 NSW electorates.
It will consist of over 600 small community projects, ranging from capital works, services and programs, events, supplies and equipment, charitable donations, and playground and park upgrades.
The funds will play a vital role in fostering youth engagement in the local surfing community.
The club plans to organise training days and invest in much-needed equipment, creating opportunities for young people to actively participate in and enjoy the sport.
The NSW Government has committed funds to the program which will help small local projects and programs that strengthen communities and provide improvements at a local level.

“This funding underscores the government’s commitment to empowering local communities and enhancing the lives of residents,” said David Mehan MP, Member for The Entrance.
“With this support, the North Avoca Boardriders can further strengthen their programs and initiatives, contributing to the positive growth of the area and creating a better environment for our youth to thrive,” he said.
“This is a fantastic outcome for the North Avoca Boardriders and the people of the Terrigal electorate. This support is instrumental in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle among the youth in our community.”
“Surfing is not only good exercise and a buzz – but also strong point of connection in local communities,” said Mark Buttigieg MLC, Duty MLC for Terrigal.
“The North Avoca Boardriders Youth Development Program funding will further engage young people in the local surfing community.
“Participants couldn’t be luckier- North Avoca is one of the most beautiful beaches in the state.”
