Sir Joseph Banks Amenities
ONGOING / Botany, NSW
A new amenities building and carpark are designed to service growing community needs.
The contemporary design sits in harmony with the context and existing structures in this scenic foreshore park with regional scale recreational facilities.
From Neglect to Accessible Renewal
Facilities reimagined to serve all users.
The existing amenities were in poor condition with no accessible facilities nor accessible footpath connections and no longer met the community’s expectations.

“The existing amenities were in poor condition with no accessible facilities nor accessible footpath connections and no longer met the community’s expectations.”
SCA investigated the optimum location for the new building, taking into account several site factors, complex underground services (including underground gas and oil lines), the scenic park setting and accessibility.
A contemporary, light filled, and airy building, with aluminium cladding, galvanised steel structure, and light weight mesh, addresses the needs of park users. There is a parents’ room, ambulant facilities, hand wash facilities and bubblers. The redesign of the adjoining carpark maximises and rationalises the number of car spaces within the site constraints, providing two accessible car parking spots and a bus unloading bay to meet community needs.
