A NEW fitness station on Coffs Harbour’s Southern Foreshores comes as a welcomed new addition to the Coffs Harbour waterfront.
The new equipment installed as part of the Wayne Glenn Walk has been made possible through the community work of the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour.
“I congratulate the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour membership for driving this important project, and for delivering it,” Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said on Friday.
“In consultation with local organisations, Rotary identified the need to provide an opportunity for all members of our community to have free access to fitness equipment.
“The Southern Foreshores Fitness Station creates an exercise and meeting point for individuals and community groups. While they enjoy getting fit, they can also enjoy the stunning harbourside views.”
The project accessed $16,000 from the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership Program.
“(This) is designed to help create a more vibrant and inclusive local community with positive social, environment and recreation outcomes,” he said.
The Southern Foreshores Fitness Station complements a host of Rotary projects, which are designed to enhance the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshores.
