Sunshine Coast Recreation Precinct Visual Story

The Sunshine Coast Recreation Precinct is situated between Currimundi Beach and the Currimundi Lake mouth. The reception building is a modern, white structure made of concrete and glass.  

Onsite parking for over 60 vehicles is available across the street, with accessible car parking spaces located directly in front of the entrance. A transit centre and coach parking are also onsite.  

From the car park, wide and step-free pathways lead to the building's entrance, which has an outward-opening glass door. The environment supports ease of access and movement, with visitors likely arriving to check in, gather information, or prepare for recreational activities nearby.

The Transit Centre features a spacious and open environment with modern concrete architecture and a large portico. The space is designed for efficient drop-offs, with ramps and wide pathways providing seamless access. A designated luggage area is available for convenience.

To the right, there is a unisex accessible toilet equipped with a shower, grab bars, and a baby-changing station. During drop-off times, the area often becomes loud and busy, especially when children are present.

The Kitchen and Dining area is accessible from the Transit Centre via stairs with handrails or a winding ramp with handrails. The space is designed with wide, flat surfaces and ample room for wheelchair accessibility. To the left is the Kitchen area, where children queue to receive food. On the right is the Dining area, featuring rows of tables and chairs that can seat up to 380 people. 

The architecture combines concrete and glass elements, with wooden ceilings adding contrast. Large windows allow natural light to brighten the space. During mealtimes, the area becomes loud and busy as children gather to eat.

The Rock Face climbing area is a spacious room with high ceilings, featuring blue and grey climbing walls fitted with holds and ropes designed for various skill levels. Safety mats cover the floor, and barriers surround the walls for secure use.

From the Court 3 Complex entrance, turn right into the corridor. At the end of the corridor, a door on the left opens outward into the climbing area. This area is also accessible from the pool via an outward-opening glass door. The space is designed for dynamic climbing activities, offering opportunities for both challenge and engagement.

The swimming pool is located to the left of the transit area and accessed via a concrete ramp with handrails. At the end of the ramp, turn right to find an outward-opening black metal gate.  

Inside, the outdoor area features an 8-lane, 25-metre heated salt-chlorinated pool equipped with a ramp with handrails entry. The pool is surrounded by a concrete deck and metal railings. To the right of the gate, amenities include a unisex toilet, a shower with grab bars, and a baby changing station.  

A shaded grandstand to the side provides seating for up to 60 people, allowing spectators to watch activities. The pool area supports both leisure and competitive swimming, with floodlights enabling evening use.

The Shelleys facility has an adjacent parking area with accessible car parking spaces. From the car park, a concrete pathway leads to a covered walkway. The dining hall is on the right, accessible via an outward-opening glass door, and features tables and chairs arranged throughout, with a small servery area on the left. 

Back at the covered walkway, to the right is Seminar Room A, an air-conditioned space with carpet flooring. Turning left along the walkway and then right leads to the training kitchen, accessible via a ramp and stairs with handrails. 

Continuing down the timber walkway on the right are the amenities, while an inward-opening glass door on the left leads to Seminar Room B.
