A clock has been installed at The Entrance by the local Lions Club in partnership with Central Coast Council.

The clock is located in Bayview Mall outside the cinema and was instigated by Council and The Entrance Lions Club to complement the recently upgraded mall area.

Council’s Administrator, Mr Ian Reynolds, said Council is happy to support these great community initiatives to improve the local community.

“Council has always supported and worked together on various programs associated with the Lions Clubs across the Coast,” Mr Reynolds said.

“Over the last few years, we have supported various Clubs with grants totalling more than $20,000 to support a range of projects such as community events, improvements to facilities and purchase of equipment to expand the range of services supplied by those Clubs and to assist with their volunteer development.

“The new clock at The Entrance is a great example of where Council and the local Lions Club are working together to improve the amenity of our local community.

The clock was built locally and uses modern technology to stay on time.

Recently The Entrance Lions Club’s celebrated their 60^th anniversary, making them the oldest Lions club on the Central Coast.

Lions Club President, Mr Ken Bulkeley, said it’s a proud achievement.

“Next year will see 100 years of Lions Clubs working to assist their communities and we acknowledged this milestone at our anniversary last month,” Mr Bulkeley said.

“It’s great to see our ideas come to life and often this is made possible through the support of Council.

“The clock is an idea we’ve had for a few years as we knew it would complement the area and become an asset the community can be proud of.”
