What a ripper! BDG and Pixeltrix have come up with a winner.
The partnership between local architects Pixeltrix and the award-winning Bollig
Design Group has produced a stunning concept plan for the Denmark Aquatic Centre
that nestles beautifully between the
existing Recreation Centre and the bush.
What’s more, its cost is estimated to be $1 Million less than the
original Feasibility Study design.
We estimate that even in the
most conservative view we would need to boost the average rate by no more than
a couple of dollars a week to operate the facility, and if we save this amount
for the three-year build phase we’d be just under $3 million short of finding
the capital. On the basis of Council
Resolution 171212 we can see reasonable prospects of raising $5.45 million -
which would leave us $2.85 million short.
The Shire’s $4.7 million ‘Expression of Interest’ in the Regional
Development Australia Fund [RDAF] Round 4 didn’t make the cut - so we’ll have
to keep trying to secure other grants.
Calls for the next RDAF Round have been promised before September. There are other possible funding sources -
and we need community support.
Let’s go for it! Are there any benefactors out there?
