BRIEF OVERVIEW

The landscaping for Shellharbour Civic Centre was designed by Turf Design using Natspec specifications. Products needed to meet requirements for physical and chemical properties, in addition to being quality assured. The site was difficult with restrictions to access which required fast response times, smaller load sizes and flexible deliveries. SOILCO met soil specifications with Landscape Mix (AS4419) and Turf Special. We worked with RK Evans to get the loads in as they were required.

 

LOCATION OVERVIEW

The building features modern community spaces including library, children’s interactive play area, city museum and café. On the ground floor, there is a 350 seat auditorium designed for public events and the council’s customer service hub. Based on its environmental credentials – including an in-built weather station which will shut off the air-conditioning when the outdoor temperatures hit optimal levels – civic centre has be given a 5 Star Green Star rating by the Green Building Council of Australia.
