Coalition commits to delivering on-water facility for Narooma Marine rescue
An elected Dutton Coalition Government has committed to delivering an on-water facility for Narooma Marine Rescue.
Liberal Candidate for Eden-Monaro, Jo van der Plaat, said this $940,000 commitment for an on-water facility will be crucial for ensuring Narooma Marine Rescue’s lifesaving and training capabilities.
“Marine Rescue is on-call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” Mrs van der Plaat said.
“Our boating community can be confident that when they call for help, a professionally trained and equipped crew will be on deck to assist.
“This funding commitment, to be delivered by an elected Dutton Coalition Government, will mean faster response times and an improved rescue service, at Narooma, for mariners in distress.
“These upgrades will provide shelter, changerooms, standby facilities and importantly, space for recuperation and debrief or counselling, following a rescue.
“I want to thank everyone in our community who has helped me deliver this vital commitment for an on-water facility at Narooma Marine Rescue,” Mrs van der Plaat concluded.
Senator for New South Wales, Dave Sharma, said that only by investing in Marine Rescue facilities, such as those committed to in Narooma, can we improve safety on our rivers, inlets and seas.
“We know that emergency and rescue services are critical for towns like Narooma and commitments such as today’s announcement will lead to improved water safety and community wellbeing outcomes,” said Senator Sharma.
