Barwon Coast CEO Gary McPike attended the Lions Club of Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove meeting last night and provided an update on the progress of the new Beach Pyramids.
The Pyramid location system was established in1984 in this area by a Lions member with Lions support.
It was quickly adopted throughout Australia as a way for emergency services to find people calling for help from the beach.
Emergency services are going to change the system to an alpha-numeric system and therefore the signage will need to be updated.
Lions Club of Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads has committed to donating $6500 towards the project.
Barwon Coasts’ funding comes from the running of the caravans on the coast and projects such as Friends of the Hooded Plover. They don’t receive government funding.
