The building, being constructed by Edwards Constructions, off Albatross Road at West Nowra now has a roof and the interior fit out is well underway.
South Coast Branch Surf Lifesaving (NSW) president Steve Jones said the training and administration hub, which will service clubs from Warilla to Mollymook, will be a new era for the sport.
As well as being a permanent home base for surf lifesaving on the South Coast, the facility will also provide a dedicated training centre and a location to store various equipment currently spread out across the branch.

"It is exciting," Mr Jones said.
"Internally, I have only been shown the training room which can be separated into two training rooms with a soundproof operable wall.
"Each end will have an 86 inch screen Astralvision AVSA Pro Series for training and conferencing.
"It's anticipated the complex will be completed mid to late April."
When completed the complex will also be home to a paid administration officer three days a week, who will be supporting the various clubs throughout the branch.
The new complex will become part Shoalhaven City Council's Emergency Services Precinct, joining the likes of Rural Fire Service Shoalhaven homebase, which is also home to the Shoalhaven Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), NSW SES Nowra Unit and the West Nowra RFS station at the location.
