Long-considered the birthplace of surf life saving, Bronte Surf Life Saving Club boasts a rich history dating back to its inception in 1903. The club was formed after military veteran Major John Bond recognised a safeguard was essential if people were to enjoy our iconic, but often challenging and dangerous beach. When our current clubhouse was opened in 1974, it was considered “the best and most modern clubhouse on the east coast of Australia”.
Now, more than 50 years on, with amazing support from Waverly Council, the NSW State Government and the Federal Government, we are building a new, state-of-the-art, modern club house, which will fit seamlessly into the space, support our 2,000-strong membership to deliver essential lifesaving services of the highest standard to the community, as well as becoming a new hub for everyone who lives in Bronte as well as our visitors.
October 2025 update - demolition of the old club is complete, and earthworks and preparation of the new foundations are underway.
