Wattamolla Visitor Precinct Amenities Upgrade was a $1.9 million build for a new amenities facility at Wattamolla Beach, 30km south of Sydney in the Royal National Park. The building was designed and constructed as an architectural feature within the park, having a minimal impact on the surrounding environment and tying in with the natural setting. Honoring the indigenous significance of the National Park, the land was blessed before the breaking of ground.
The building is constructed from large precast concrete panels, with a rough sawn Oregon timber impression to the external faces. A large structural steel roof sits above the panels, allowing for the amenities to take advantage of natural lighting and for the treescape to be seen between the two features. Fibre cement sheeting fixed in an offset pattern lines the ceiling, providing a long wearing architectural feature. The male and female amenities are linked with custom made tallow wood timber screens, and a bespoke concrete basin framed by a concrete portal.
Aurify Constructions developed the construction methodology with a focus on establishing a sequence of works facilitating the execution of critical path actives in a safe manner, complying with legislative requirements, the BCA, Australian Standards and client quality expectations. 
As the build was undertaken within 250m of breaking surf, product selection and corrosion resistance were important throughout the build.
The judges were very impressed with the quality of construction and detailing of this small project that will stand the test of time in this aggressive environment. It is impressive both in Construction and design quality.
