Seaforth Esplanade, QLD

Principal:: Mackay Regional Council

Product/s:: Custom Yarra 6, Changing Places

Recently we were involved in providing a custom toilet building project to Mackay Regional Council through Vassallo Constructions for the Seaforth Esplanade in QLD.

Balancing needs and security

This was a significant project for the Council which was trying to maximise the functional and aesthetic outcomes of the open space upgrade, while considering the corrosive coastal environment and budgetary limitations

An impressive design, delivered easy

By using our proprietary cladding in LocAl aluminium for the external walls and treating the steel structures with a special epoxy coating, we provided a durable and sustainable yet economically viable solution. One standout feature was the introduction of yellow flora pattern aluminium veranda panels, designed to reflect the tropical setting and overall design theme.

An outstanding result

The solution ensured an impressive outcome within the budget, in keeping with the original design with materials suited for coastal conditions. Our collaboration was marked by ease and outstanding customer experience, ensuring satisfaction of all project delivery and community stakeholders. Whether running before work or yachting in the morning, the facility allows for longer stays and great for morning commutes.

Designing out crime

Mini-orb sheeting was selected for the internal walls, as its strong ribbed profile is both highly impact resistant and deters graffiti. The doors were also fitted with auto-locking, to prevent access late at night where there is a heightened risk of antisocial behaviour. The modular pre-fab system means if a panel does sustain damage it can be quickly and cost effectively replaced.

Sustainability built in

Our proprietary aluminium cladding profile was specified for the external cladding, which is extruded using Capral’s LocAl Green aluminium which reduces carbon emissions by 50% compared to typical aluminium extrusions. It is recycled in Aus and contains a large percentage of recycled billet.
