NSW GOVERNMENT HELPS NSW CLUBS TO BE COMMUNITY LIFELINES
Friday, 11 December 2015Registered clubs across NSW now have the ability under law to become centres of shelter and safety in emergencies for any resident living within a 5km radius, under NSW Government changes that recognise clubs as the hubs of their local communities.
Member of the Legislative Council Natasha Maclaren-Jones said the Registered Clubs Amendment (Exception to 5 Kilometre Rule) Regulation 2015 will relax the requirement for anyone living within a 5 kilometre radius of a registered club to be a full member or member’s guest to enter a club during emergencies.
