Portsea Surf Life Saving Club describes its location as “one of the most unforgiving environments in Australia” and the Mt Levy Beach it overlooks as “challenging”. People may recall it was from nearby Cheviot Beach that Prime Minister Harold Holt never returned after his regular morning swim in 1967…
The striking new two-storey building was completed and opened in April this year. To celebrate its opening, the clubhouse hosted a Gala event attended by local dignitaries and celebrities.
The new Portsea Surf Lifesaving Clubhouse has become a vital piece of community infrastructure and will allow members and the wider community to safely enjoy Portsea Back Beach for generations to come.
