Community’s lifesaving initiative supported by Network Tasman Trust
In a significant development for the safety and well-being of the St Arnaud area, a crucial device has
found its place at the Lake Station airfield—an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). This life-saving
equipment, installed through the efforts of the Nelson Lakes Gliding Club, stands as a testament to the
power of community advocacy and support.
President of the Nelson Lakes Gliding Club, Jim Mace, expresses profound gratitude for the grant
awarded by Network Tasman Trust, enabling the acquisition of a Zoll AED defibrillator, saying, "The
impact of having access to an AED could be a gamechanger for our local community."
The installation of the AED at Lake Station airfield, coupled with the provision of an externally mounted
lockable cabinet funded by NBS, ensures 24/7 accessibility to this critical medical resource. Jim notes the
significance of this initiative, stating, "We are very thankful to these organisations for helping us make
our remote area better equipped for medical emergencies."
The Nelson Lakes Gliding Club remains committed to community safety. While the AED has not yet been
utilised by the club, its presence is reassuring for any potential times of need. The AED, mounted on the
club house located at rapid number 874, St Arnaud-Kawatiri Highway, Howard, is registered both with St
John and on the AED app, ensuring seamless coordination in emergency situations.
