PORT FAIRY SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB
DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS PLAN 2015
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to demonstrate the viability of the Club in
seeking funding to construct educational and dry and wet training areas and
a maintenance facility as part of the clubhouse.
Background
The Port Fairy Surf Life Saving Club (the Club) records its inception in 1924
when it was formed as the “Royal” Swimming and Life Saving Club. After a
recess during World War II it was re-formed as a “Surf” Life Saving Club in 1952.
The Club is affiliated with Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) and Life Saving
Victoria (LSV). It is one of fifty-seven lifesaving clubs in Victoria and is the only
life saving club in the Moyne Shire. The Club is incorporated and is managed
by a Board of Directors.
From humble beginnings in 1952 when members used a section of the public
dressing sheds at the East beach to store equipment, then a Nissan hut, and
in 1963 the Club boasted a clubhouse situated on the beach front. This was
built with voluntary labour, including the making of the concrete bricks for the
lower story. In 2000, the current clubhouse was completed utilising a
$100,000.00 loan from Moyne Shire Council (MSC) which was repaid by the
Club over the next ten years.
The first woman to gain the Bronze Medallion participated in a rescue during
the 1980’s. The inclusion of women in rescue activities in 1980’s promoted the
Club’s survival and surf life saving in Port Fairy.

championships in Perth as well as the other attending members doing very
well in their respective activities. Members also did the Club proud at the
State championships in Ocean Grove and the junior State championships in
Warrnambool. The youth development program in its third year is proving a
great initiative for the group with 6 members competing in the Australian titles
in Perth. The skill and dedication of the beach patrols ensured safety for the
water loving public. Repairs to the sea wall along the beachfront parallel to
the carpark has improved the safety for beach goers and arrested erosion.
Bluestone rocks have been placed along the top of the dune giving the
public opportunity to enjoy the ocean vista. The concept of a Club training
centre is progressing with plans developed and a building development
committee established.
Building account - $ 182,727.

saving carnival held in Port Fairy 28 February 2015 with over 1000 competitors
which was a huge effort by the Club with backing from MSC. The last State
carnival held in Port Fairy was in 1975. This was a great event with over 300
participating life savers from across Victoria competing with Club members
excelling in their various events. Purchased this year was an IRB, 3 surf skis, 5
surf boards and 10 nipper boards. A timber patrol platform was constructed
giving an uninterrupted view of the beach in both directions. A total of 357
awards were made at the senior’s presentation night with many awards also
at the end-of-year nippers presentation night. Club members actively assist
the Port Fairy Coastal Group Inc in monitoring the East beach erosion.
Building account – $225,000.

The PRESENT Environment
Current Building Usage.
The current building consists of;
Upper Level
Restaurant area
shared space – training/restaurant/events
small office
Lower Level
equipment storage/maintenance/training/toilets/change rooms
Lease arrangement – In July 2008 the Club entered into a lease arrangement
with the MSC for the clubhouse. The term of the lease was for twenty-one
years, commencing on 1 September 2007. The permitted use of the building is
for surf life saving club rooms, a restaurant and function centre. Contained in
the lease agreement, the Club had the approval to sub-let part of the
premises.
Upper Floor Facilities:
Social activities –The restaurant leased to ‘Charlie’s on East’ serves as a
meeting place for members, friends, visitors and the general public as well as
being available for Club functions.
Restaurant

Shared Area
(Club Training /
Education area)
Small Office
Bi-fold

“Future Vision 20-20” 2015
Page 11
Office/Administration area – A small office/administration area is located at
the Southern end of the upper level, but does not provide a ‘front’ or an
'entry' for the Club to attract new members or visitors. There is currently no
evidence from the street of the Club’s existence.
Training/Education upper
floor area – This area is
separated from the larger
area by bi-fold doors. It is a
relatively small shared
space with ‘Charlie’s on
East’ and is not suitable for
full blown training. However
it does serve smaller groups.
This shared space is often
used for events such as
wedding receptions,
functions etc. by ‘Charlie’s
on East’ when the bi-fold
doors are open.
Lower Floor Facilities
The forecourt at the lower
level on the beachside is
available for open air
activities, training, barbecues,
games, and entertaining. It
serves as a wet training area.
Equipment area – This lower
level area has reached
capacity for equipment
maintenance, equipment
storage and training. It has Occupation, Health and Safety (OH&S) issues. It is
now inadequate for effective training. Toilets and change rooms are located
on this lower level.

ANALYSES
SWOT Analysis
A SWOT is an analysis of the most important strengths and weaknesses
(internal environment) and opportunities and threats (external environment)
that face the Club in the short to medium term.
Internal Factors
Strengths and Weaknesses of the Club
Strengths
Some good facilities Prime location Positive patrol inspection results Core of dedicated members Member camaraderie Conservative and sound financial management Strong membership income Regular income from restaurant lease Substantial savings (dedicated building development fund) High ‘nipper’ numbers (See Appendix 3) Operates within a strong, tight-knit community Fairly high profile within the local community
Specific to life saving
Training activities offer broad life saving skills Summer based activities (compared to popular winter-based
recreation) Family friendly recreation Strong history and status in Australia’s culture and history
Weaknesses
Heavy reliance on annual membership takings Low interest in Board of Directors meetings Difficulty attracting Board of Directors members Difficulty attracting and training patrolling members (See
Appendix 3) Lack of training facilities which effects the Club’s operational
performance, and hence, profile Not enough ‘active’ members Active member burnout by the end of the season Lack of young skilled members, therefore relying on a small
group of senior members for skills and experience Few members aged between 15 and 30 (See Appendix 3) Lack of training, storage and maintenance space
“Future Vision 20-20” 2015
Page 13
External Factors
Opportunities and Threats in the Marketplace
Opportunities
Facilities for regional and local education and training Increase membership and profile Greater utilisation of restaurant area, raising awareness of the
Club, increasing traffic and possibly generating a greater
income Attract a wider range of skills and age groups to the Board of
Directors
Threats Rising administration, insurance costs, government and other
requirements Rising costs for equipment and maintenance Decreased membership income Older members retiring Reluctance in membership to step up to positions of
responsibility Some Board of Directors roles unable to be filled Lack of skills, experience and qualifications if senior members
leave OH&S issues from clutter and lack of storage Proportion of member age groups is a result of natural trends,
not proactive recruitment Low levels of involvement once past the Nipper age group
Market and Industry Trends
An assessment of trends external to the Club and region allow for accurate
planning as these trends will impact on the Club’s ability to implement
changes and strategies.
The Club’s ability to implement strategies and changes relies on accurate
planning. The external trends listed below will enable the Club to accurately
plan for the future. (See also Trend Line Graphs in Appendix 3)
This additional analysis is being reviewed by the Club’s management team for
planning the future direction of the Centre.
Political: Increased legislation and compliance requirements, such as police
checks for all volunteers working with children, OH&S issues and
financial administration and other government regulations LSV tending to allocate more resources and assistance in facilitating
clubs to identify potential funding sources
“Future Vision 20-20” 2015

increasing participation in life saving; School Surf League, Beach to
Bush are examples State government support for offshore rescue organisations
Economic:
Many clubs are now employing part-time administrators Club running costs are increasing LSV grants cover some equipment and administration costs Increase in number of families with both parents working Increases in cost of living, i.e. fuel, food and financial interest rates
Social and Environmental:
Awareness of childhood obesity, alcohol and drug abuse Society generally working longer hours More pressure on finances and spare time for families Port Fairy’s population is changing in line with national trends;
increasing proportion of ages 55+; 25-54 year olds are moving from
regional areas to metropolitan centres. (Appendix 1 www.abs.gov.au … Census quickstats: Port Fairy Urban
Centre/Locality comparisons 2001 – 2006 - 2011) Young adults moving to Melbourne for education and work. There were 37 drowning deaths in Victoria from 1 July 2006 to 30 June
2007
Technology:
Increase in internet access and quality of connections Media coverage is more accessible through improved internet services Expectations for communication methods have increased and are
swayed towards electronic mediums Life saving equipment is becoming more technologically advanced LSV have shifted emphasis to online services and resources Increase in level of usage of online technologies in training and
communication activities

The BUSINESS of the Future
The Reason
Vision Statement
The vision for the Club is to;
• Provide exemplary surf life saving patrols, education and training bene-
fits to our community and visitors;
• Be a leading sporting, emergency service and social club in the region; • Have active participation across all areas of the Club and all age
groups; • Have a strong and positive profile within the MSC; and
• Provide a range of benefits for members of all ages.
Goals
To achieve this vision, the Club will strive towards achieving the following
goals; • Increase members aged between 18 and 30;
• Develop training and educational facilities; • Maximise current space for maximum benefit to the Club and com-
munity; • Reach 60-80 patrolling members;
• Ensure the sub-lease (first floor area) is well utilised by the community
and guarantees a strong financial return to the Club;
• Ensure the Club’s volunteers are well trained, well-resourced and well
represented within the Club structure; and
• Create a community presence and increase the profile of the Club.
Life Saving Centre
“Future Vision 20-20” 2015
Page 19
Provide a clearly visible and high profile reference point
By creating the Centre, surfers, beach users and the local community
will have a focal point for safety on this section of the coast. Currently
there is no identifiable “reference point” for the Club.
New Meeting, Education and Training Centre and Club Headquarters
Due to the multi-purpose nature of the proposed Centre it will more
effectively accommodate increased participant numbers using state
of the art resources. This will allow accredited trainers to provide
cutting edge delivery resulting in the best possible outcomes that will
engage and inspire participants.
Breakout spaces would accommodate improved training with
capability for concurrent sessions and crossover training both inside
and outside, therefore enabling full use of the total environment.
Availability as a meeting/training space for community use opens a
range of options for local community groups for workshop activities,
presentations as well as corporate, private and commercial functions.
FUTURE POTENTIAL
Education and Training Within the Club
The meeting/training area in the Centre will allow training potential in
the following areas (See Appendix 3 for Trend Lines in current training
programs)
Bronze Medallion training base award (over 15yrs)
Surf Rescue Certificate (over 13 years)
First Aid
Managing Spinal injuries
Radio handling and procedures
IRB skills
Patrol Captain (beach management)
District training activities are also available at other clubs within the re-
gion and LSV delivers training in Port Fairy.
Training is conducted by:
Internal trainers/assessors who are qualified through LSV which is
the registered training organisation regulated to deliver voca-
tional education and to provide training services throughout
Victoria. They are recognised as providers of quality assured
and nationally recognised accredited training and qualifica-
“Future Vision 20-20” 2015
Page 20
tions as well as being identified as leaders in the fields of first aid
and water safety training.
Support from Marine Rescue members who have engaged in
an intensive training program which qualifies those members in
seamanship and radio communication necessary to carry out
professional rescue operations.
Education and Training External to the Club
There has been little direct target marketing to attract external groups
for training as yet. There is great potential to approach such groups for
both indoor and outdoor training with capability for larger groups and
workshop breakout areas. This would be an ideal medium size confer-
ence venue with food service on-site and for overnight or extended
training, utilisation of Southcombe Lodge and other local accommo-
dation makes for ideal training packages.
Direct marketing could target the above-mentioned groups as well as
the following:
schools that participate in the School Surf League and the ‘Ad-
vance’ program
Emmanuelle College which brings groups for surfing and school
camps as well as occasional groups of students from Brauer Col-
lege who are working towards achieving their Bronze medallion
local surf schools that offer an opportunity to both on-sell and
work in conjunction with the Club
schools from around the region and further looking for a total
package ready to sell on to parents/students. E g. Hamilton,
Mortlake, Portland, Horsham, Ararat
other life saving clubs, e.g. Mildura Life Saving Club, South Aus-
tralian clubs and western Victoria that can be targeted directly
with relevant training offers
the 15 – 18 year age group which is difficult to attract and retain.
The Australian Sports Commission provides two programs aimed at in-
creasing participation in surf life saving; School Surf League and Beach
to Bush.

The Trend Line for Total Membership has shown a steady increase since 1996,
however, for the period 2002 to 2008 the numbers were well below the peaks
of 1999 and 2009. The Club is researching the reasons behind the peaks in an
effort to understand what caused the trough in numbers.
The Club leadership and management are well aware of the #trend line
showing a dramatic drop off in the numbers moving from the 6 to 15 year old
group through to the 16 to 18 year old group. In 1999 a peak occurred in both
groups. What caused this increase and what can be learned from the period
is being investigated.
