Gunnamatta Park - Cronulla, NSW Case Study

Overview

CORE was engaged by Sam Crawford Architects to provide Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic and Fire engineering design services for the renewal of the Gunnamatta Pavilion at Gunnamatta Park, Cronulla on behalf of Sutherland Shire Council.

Located on the foreshore of Gunnamatta Bay, the heritage-listed pavilion is a landmark community facility that has served the local community since the late 1930s. The renewal project aims to revitalise the building while preserving its heritage character and strengthening its role as a community gathering place.

The project delivers upgraded public amenities, flexible community spaces and improved connections to the surrounding park and waterfront environment.

Our Approach

CORE worked closely with the architect and consultant team to deliver coordinated building services design that supports both the functional requirements of the pavilion and its long-term role as a community facility.

Our scope included the design and documentation of:

Mechanical ventilation systems
Electrical lighting and power infrastructure
Hydraulic water supply and drainage systems
Fire services design

The engineering design prioritised durability, simplicity and operational efficiency, ensuring the facility can support heavy public use while remaining practical for council operations and maintenance.

CORE’s building services design supports the delivery of a durable, well-integrated public facility that will continue to serve the Cronulla community for generations to come.
