🎉 We are thrilled to be among the successful recipients of Community Bank Tugun 2026 Community Investment Program 🐬🎉🌊🙏🏽💎
This grant support will help our team deliver some exciting new improvements to Surf World Gold Coast, including much needed upgraded exhibit lighting and the next stage of our digitisation project - which will bring Surf World's collection to life in cool new ways.
Through exciting new digital content, including archival imagery, photography, videos and verbal histories of our surfers - both the Mens and Womens archives - and also the shapers,makers,image producers,cultural icons,contests and characters- visitors to the museum will be able to explore the stories behind not only the objects and history but discover the diverse layers of Australia's deep surfing and beach culture heritage.
These projects combined will enhance experiences for visitors, while helping build and preserve valuable historical records and digital content for future generations, expanding Surf World Gold Coast 's collection of magnificent displays into a modern interactive storytelling experience.
As a volunteer-run community museum, support like this makes a genuine difference and helps us continue to grow, improve the visitor experience and protect an important part of Australia's deep surfing history.
Thank you to bank Tugun for investing back into local community and we look forward to bringing these projects to life and send our warmest congratulations to all the other successful recipients.
