Project Overview

Falcon Building Group proudly delivered a brand new multi purpose sporting facility for the West Coast Community – The Strahan Sports Centre. Designed with functionality, resilience and local character in mind, this new facility features interconnected indoor sports spaces, a full sized basketball court, gym, change rooms, a kiosk and storage. Its visual identity draws from the surrounding landscape.  Built adjacent to the local oval and tennis courts, this project strengthens the town’s recreational core and supports growing regional demand for quality community infrastructure.

Timelines & Expectations

Construction commenced in tandem with the Zeehan sports centre refurbishment, with a targeted completion date of mid 2025. Falcon Building Group worked closely with the West Coast Council to ensure minimal disruption to sporting events and community programs. The Strahan site was delivered in line with the project schedule, despite the challenges of remote construction.

Scope of Work

The scope included:

• Construction of a brand new sports centre
• Located adjacent to existing tennis courts and football oval
• Three interlinked ‘pod’ structures housing:
  – Full indoor basketball court
  – Commercial gym
  – Accessible change rooms and amenities
• Integrated storage, mechanical and electrical services

Challenges & Key Outcomes

Operating in a remote, coastal environment came with its fair share of challenges. Weather fluctuations impacted access and timing, especially during the installation of concrete tilt panels.

Thanks to Falcon Building Group’s agile project management and collaborative approach, the project stayed on schedule and delivered a top tier facility for the Strahan community. This centre will support youth sport, FIFO worker recreation and regional events into the future.

Reflecting on the project, the Construction Manager stated:

“Working on these projects gave me a unique insight to the West Coast community. I am proud of what we built, and hope it supports the health and well-being of future generations.”

A Key Step In Modernising Community Infrastructure

The Strahan sports centre represents a key step in modernising community infrastructure on Tasmania’s West Coast. It boosts access to health and wellness, supports population shifts and provides a scalable venue for sport and recreation in the region. For Falcon Building Group, this build reinforces our capability to deliver complex community projects in regional locations, with precision, commitment and respect.
