A NEW side-by-side buggy for Central Coast Junior Motorcycle Club, funded under the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnerships Program, will reinforce the Club’s ability to respond to safety incidents involving riders.
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch MP said the investment in potentially life-saving equipment for the club aligned with the goals of the Community Building Partnership Program, one of which is delivering positive recreational outcomes.
“In sporting activities, safety is always paramount, and in the exhilarating sport of motorbike riding it is no exception. Central Coast Junior Motorcycle Club has dependably maintained a staunch commitment to the safety of its participants and it is therefore fantastic to see the Club, with the addition of this first aid vehicle, being well placed to respond to injured riders more efficiently.”
Central Coast Junior Motorcycle Club President David Smith said the Club was delighted to have secured this new Kawasaki Mule SX XC 4 x 4 with the help of $11,497 in Community Building Partnership funding.
“On behalf of the Central Coast Junior Motorcycle Club, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude of the support from Liesl Tesch in securing the grant that enabled us to purchase a new side-by-side buggy.
“Your assistance has made a substantial impact on our club, and we are incredibly appreciative of your dedication to our community supported club.
“This buggy is a vital piece of equipment will significantly enhance our medical team’s ability to respond to accidents involving riders, ensuring their safety and well-being during events.”
