🚣♀️ Rowing Toward Safer Shores with Tallebudgera SLSC
Tallebudgera Surf Life Saving Club continues to play a vital role in protecting our coastline — delivering essential patrol and rescue services while offering young Australians a sense of purpose, skills training and community.
Through this year’s Community Fund, Nerang RSL is proud to support the next generation of surf boat rowers with funding for a brand-new set of carbon fibre oars. These oars will be used by the Club’s growing surf boat section, with a strong focus on developing U19 and U23 competitors.
By investing in youth development, the Club is also building a clear pathway into senior surf lifesaving divisions — while ensuring participants complete their Bronze Medallion training and are qualified to patrol our local beaches.
From surf sports to surf safety, we’re proud to continue our support of Tallebudgera Surf Lifesaving Club and the life-changing work they do on the sand and in the surf.
📍 Based at Tallebudgera Beach

🚴♀️Where Passion Meets Purpose
Erin Lockwood Racing is more than just a BMX team — it’s a homegrown success story driven by passion, leadership and a deep commitment to empowering the next generation of riders.
Since first receiving support from Nerang RSL in 2017, Elite BMX Champion Erin has built an inclusive, community-focused racing squad that inspires young athletes to push limits, build confidence and compete with heart. Her team proudly represents at state and national championships, not only as skilled competitors but as role models on and off the track.
In 2025, we provided Erin and her talented team with funding to help purchase new jerseys, polos, banners and gear bags — ensuring every rider shows up feeling united, prepared and proud to wear their colours.

🏈 Lighting the way for Junior growth
The Gold Coast Stingrays Gridiron Club is tackling more than just opponents this season — they’re taking on the challenge of rapid junior growth with the same grit they bring to the field.
With over 160 players and 30 volunteers across boys, girls, men’s and women’s teams (ages 9 to 60), the Stingrays are proud to offer an inclusive, supportive space for players of all levels. But a recent 40% surge in U12, U14 and U18 participation has created new pressures — including a significant increase in lighting costs to accommodate extra field time for training.
Thanks to the support of our members, Nerang RSL is proud to assist with those costs — helping the club keep registration fees affordable and ensuring no family is priced out of participation.
It’s a win for grassroots sport, youth development and the future of Gridiron on the Gold Coast.
