Ten wheelchairs provided by Shoalhaven City Council will provide access to Shoalhaven Heads Beach Surf Club, Culburra Beach Surf Club, Sussex Inlet Beach Surf Club, Mollymook Beach Surf Club, Huskisson Beach / Moona Moona Creek, Lake Tabourie Holiday Haven Parks and Palm Beach Greville’s Corner Store during beach patrol season or at other times at the discretion of wheelchair site caretakers.
The child and adult size all terrain beach wheelchairs will ensure children in particular aged between nine and 15 years can enjoy a day at the beach.
Hirers will need to follow safety procedures and sign a hire and indemnity form.
Each patrolled beach site will have both an adult and child size chair available for outdoor hire or use only. Other sites have an adult size chair available for hire or use.
The wheelchairs have been made available to the community through a collaboration between FundAbility, Shoalhaven City Council, Surf Lifesaving South Coast Branch, Holiday Haven Tourist Parks and Greville’s Corner Store.
