Why are we refurbishing and not replacing?
Council officers undertook a review of the LRCI project scope, feasibility and delivery, with changes proposed to enable the achievable and effective delivery of existing projects within funding agreement timeframes and conditions. No further funding phases or extensions to the program will be provided and it is critical that viable project delivery options be achieved, otherwise Council will be at risk of a funding claw-back.
In lieu of the design and delivery of a new amenities building, it was proposed to amend the scope of the project to incorporate a facility upgrade and refurbishment with a reduction in funding from $600,000 to $200,000.
At the February 2025 Council Meeting, Council endorsed a project funding and scope variation of the Cape Bridgewater Amenities Upgrade to provide for a facility refurbishment.
Can we make the building bigger or replace it?
In accordance with Marine and Coastal Act 2018 (MACA) requirements, refurbishment work will be limited to the existing building only, with no change to the external footprint.
