Council and CRG meet with architects

The Mount Gambier Regional Sport and Recreation Centre Committee and the Community Reference Group (CRG) met with architects at the Civic Centre on 7 August to inform planning for second stage designs for the project funding proposal.

DesignInc Adelaide and architectural partner CO-OP Studio Melbourne shared their project vision to design a high quality facility that reflects the character of the Limestone Coast.

“The architects outlined their aim to design a facility that caters for the physical, cultural and inter-generational needs of our community. They will seek a sustainable outcome which balances competing social, economic and environmental factors and incorporates adaptable spaces to facilitate the diverse and changing needs of the community,” City of Mount Gambier Mayor Andrew Lee said.

Twelve members of the CRG were present to provide their feedback at the meeting, representing local schools, swim clubs, allied health care providers, sporting/recreation club representatives and other community groups.

Elected Members and the CRG collaborated to provide their thoughts on what the proposed community facility should incorporate.

"Some key themes emerged throughout our discussions including safety, child protection and a central and visible crèche" Mayor Andrew Lee

“Further specific needs were identified for school groups and those in our community with access issues.”
