According to the Glam Adelaide News, the place is supported by federal, state, & local governments. Along with Surf Life Saving SA, the project envisions the facility. It includes a new function room, panoramic balcony, and ground-level bar and kitchen facilities, with below-deck boat & equipment storage. With this, additional amenities encompass expanded storage spaces, change rooms, a gym, and a cafe.

The impetus for this ambitious endeavor was the original building’s resilience against years of storms, necessitating a modern and resilient upgrade. While compliant in the 1960s, the outdated structure required alignment with contemporary standards, prompting the initiation of the project.
