This project is primarily a purpose built new hall and offices for the existing church in the ASCE regional town of Dapto. This enabled the expansion of the church with a new venue space that could be used 7 days a week for alternative gatherings and community use.
The structure is comprised of pre-cast concrete external walls supporting long span ILB type steel fabricated roof beams – a typical industrial-style building construction which was an economical way of creating the space that was then fitted out internally.
