The club has secured funding from the federal government, Orange City Council and Orange Credit Union to build a $38,000 shed behind the existing toilet block at the facility.

Announced with Orange Triathlon Club president Phil Tudor, federal member for Calare Andrew Gee and federal sports minister Bridget McKenzie, the government will tip in $12,000 and the Council about $11,000.

Orange Credit Union and the triathlon club, alongside other in-kind donations, will cover the rest of the money.

Mr Tudor said the proposed nine by four metre shed would be valuable for the club and allow members to train more often and easier, without the need to cart trailers, bike racks and safety equipment to the shores of the dam.

"The kids we can race more with out kids and adults on the weekends as well," Mr Tudor said.

"It'll allow the facility to grow, we hold two state events out here at the moment but we can have more Central West ones, more country ones."

Senator McKenzie said she was impressed with the club, in particular the fact 40 per cent of members are women and 40 per cent are below the age of 18.

"As the federal sports minister I want more clubs more active more often and this sort of investment in facilities strengthens the club," she said.

"I'm an old surf lifesaver and I grew up inland in Victoria so it's lovely to know you can do these things and there are partnerships with clubs on the coast so you can get experience with both types of waterways when you're developing yourself as a swimmer and as a lifesavers."

She also said it was important for governments to fund sporting clubs to keep people active and healthy.

Mr Gee said the club was becoming popular in the region and around NSW, and it was important to not just the city's sporting scene but also for the tourists which come to compete at carnivals.

"It's important we support the club with infrastructure such as this so they can continue to grow and hold these world-class events," he said.
