Celebrating 100 Years of the Surfers Paradise Surf Life Saving Club
For a century, the Surfers Paradise Surf Life Saving Club has been at the heart of our community, protecting our beaches, saving lives, and fostering a spirit of camaraderie and service. This milestone is a testament to the dedication of generations of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to keep our shores safe.
Our Guest Speakers
To mark this incredible occasion, we are excited to welcome Clive Palmer as our guest speaker. A Local Billionaire Success Story, Clive is known for his business ventures, bold opinions, and undeniable impact. However, he is also a figure who sparks debate—some see him as a visionary, while others find him a polarizing presence. Love him or loathe him, there’s no doubt that his speech will be one to remember.
-
Clive Palmer is a prominent Australian businessman and politician, known for his extensive holdings in iron ore, nickel, and coal, as well as ownership of businesses such as Mineralogy, Waratah Coal, and multiple golf resorts. A former MP, he founded the Palmer United Party in 2013 and later revived it as the United Australia Party, though his political ventures have seen mixed success. A billionaire with a net worth exceeding $23 billion, Palmer is both influential and controversial, frequently engaging in high-profile legal battles. His outspoken nature and business acumen make him a compelling and polarizing figure.
