The clubrooms, which are located on the foreshore at Bridport, will have power connected in the next six to eight weeks, which will make them "operational" and complete the first stage of the project.

Bridport Surf Life Saving Club vice-president Paul Hawkins confirmed the news last week, but indicated that there were still some steps to go.

But further government and community funding will be needed to ensure that stage two can begin, with no timeline yet established for an official opening.

About $470,000 has been committed to the club in recent years to ensure the project has got this far.

The club has been in existence since 2009, beginning its life based out of a shipping container at Bridport beach.

It is now one of the fastest-growing surf life saving clubs in Australia, and at times it has had more than 200 members.

"It has been a bipartisan project, a combination of both state and federal funding," Mr Hawkins said.

"When complete it will be a community facility, with a gymnasium and recreational room.

"The thing with surf life saving, it is not so much that we are just here to save the lives of people on our beaches, we provide first aid training as well.

"We have well over 100 members now who can provide CPR due to their first aid training, and that's a way that we assist in our community."

The state's surf life saving fraternity got its first look at the facilities last month when Bridport hosted the Tasmanian Surf Lifesaving Masters event, the Ocean Swim and the Navy Surf Base Series.
