Projex Partners were commissioned by Sunshine Coast Council to provide detailed civil and structural design, approvals and documentation to facilitate construction of a new public amenities building at Dorothy Anderson Park, Wurtulla, as the existing public amenities building at the site had reached the end of its service life. A new building complying with CPTED principles was provided with one PWD cubicle, one unisex ambulant cubicle and handbasins. A new DDA compliant pathway was also provided for access to the new building. The site is located amongst sensitive coastal dunal vegetation and as such the design sought to minimise the works footprint as far as possible. Projex Partners coordinated the sub-disciplines required for delivery of this project including: Survey, Geotechnical, Architectural, Hydraulic, Quantity Surveying and building and plumbing approvals.
