Project Overview

Falcon Building Group undertook a major refurbishment of Zeehan’s aging sports complex, transforming it into a flexible, multi-use community facility. The work involved an adaptive reuse of the existing gym, squash courts and pool building, revitalising it into a modern space that supports diverse sporting and recreational activities. With new amenities, a reception, kiosk, multipurpose hall and upgraded access systems. This redevelopment now serves as a central hub for Zeehan’s residents and visiting groups.

Timelines & Expectations

Built concurrently with the Strahan’s new sports centre, Zeehan’s works were completed within the expected timeframe. The team coordinated closely with the West Coast Council to maintain access to the site wherever possible, ensuring community programs could continue with minimal disruption.

Scope of works

The scope of work included:

• Adaptive reuse of existing facilities
• Internal reconfiguration and modernisation of:
  -Reception area
  -Kiosk and waiting zone
  -Change rooms and amenities
  -Multipurpose community hall
  -The pool
• Upgrades to HVAC, plumbing, lighting and access control
• Compliance works including accessibility

Challenges & Key Outcomes

During demolition, a few unexpected structural issues were discovered, requiring an agile response and quick scope realignments. Falcon Building Group’s ability to work through these discoveries with minimal impact to timeline or budget reflects our collaborative and solution focused approach.

The outcome? A revitalised space that feels brand new while honouring the legacy of the original centre. The upgraded facility, accessibility and supports broader community facility.

Reflecting on this project the CM stated that:

“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.”

Turning An Ageing Facility Into A Modern, Functional Space

The revitalisation of the Zeehan Sports Centre has turned an ageing facility into a modern, functional space that meets the evolving needs of the local community. It improves access to high quality amenities, supports increased participation in sport and recreation, and aligns with the long term vision of the West Coast Sport and Recreational Plan.

For Falcon Building Group, it is a strong example of our ability to deliver smart, community first solutions – even in complex and remote environments.
