More than $200,000 promised for Denmark facilities if Warren-Blackwood MLA Jane Kelsbie re-elected in March

WA Labor has promised to spend more than $200,000 on facilities in Denmark if Warren-Blackwood MLA Jane Kelsbie is re-elected at the upcoming State election in March. It has committed $200,000 for the completion of the Denmark Surf Life Saving Club and $25,000 to upgrade facilities at the Scotsdale Volunteer Bushfire Brigade. The funding for the Denmark SLSC would help complete the club’s upstairs redevelopment, including a new kitchen with servery cabinetry, acoustic panelling, sinks, basins, air-conditioning, painting, and modern light fittings. Upgrades to the Scotsdale VBB would include the installation of a shower and lockers for volunteers. Ms Kelsbie said the upgrade would give volunteers a chance to recover after “long, tough days” firefighting to keep communities safe. “Our local vollies are the heart of bushfire protection in our community,” she said. “This is all about supporting our local volunteers and ensuring they have the facilities they deserve.” Ms Kelsbie said the upgrades to the SLSC would make a “real difference” in assisting the club to host fundraisers and keeping costs for local families affordable. “The Denmark Surf Life Saving Club is such an important part of our community — and it’s close to my heart as a proud member myself,” she said. “It’s where we come together to train, learn, and support the incredible volunteers who keep our beaches safe. “This $200,000 commitment will help finish the upstairs redevelopment, creating a welcoming and functional space for training, education, and events.”
