Building a healthy standard of community living

The Campbelltown Leisure Centre has played a key role in the Council’s community support programme since 1969. When an upgrade was required, Sarah was engaged to construct a brand new stadium with viewing areas, new reception, offices, a large car park with lighting and a first-class refurbishment of the existing sports stadium.

The new Campbelltown Leisure Centre boasts spacious change rooms, squash courts, café, clubrooms and a crèche. There is also a gym with weights room, aerobics and dance facilities, and a sauna. The Leisure Centre was completed with a 25 metre lap and splash pool, with furnishings and a dedicated plant room.

This 10,000m2 Council-owned sports and recreational hub was designed to encourage strong community involvement and healthy life choices for Campbelltown residents, Sarah delivered a facility to help foster this.

Sarah’s offered up a large number of value add options and alternative design options to improve the project and reduce costs at the beginning and throughout the project. Given the complexity of the project, the team at Sarah’s were well experienced in working through challenges to achieve effective solutions. Strong communication was provided throughout the project to keep all parties informed, they also worked very hard to manage the relationship with surrounding residents to reduce the impacts of the project on them as much as possible.
