Ramsgate Beach is now more accessible following the donation of a beach accessible wheelchair.
The chair has been donated to Bayside Council by the St George School, Kogarah which delivers education for students with moderate or severe physical and multiple disabilities
Councillor Awada thanked the president of the Ramgate Life Saving Club, Councillor Andrew Tsounis for giving the wheelchair a permanent home where it will be used by seniors and people with a disability.
The wheelchair known as the Sandcruiser provides a smooth ride on soft or hard sand and while it isn't designed to float, it can be used in shallow water.
People can contact the club directly on (02) 9529 3912 for information on how to access the wheelchair.
