Tell us what you think?

What's happening?

In 2022 we asked you for your input on what the building design should include so that it meets the needs of our community and the clubs who use the site.

Since that time, we've been working closely with the Narrabeen Lakes Sailing Club and the appointed architects to produce concept plans that capture all of the main elements of what we heard from the initial community engagement.

We want to know if we've got the proposed design right. Take a look at the new concept design images below and tell us what you think.

Engagement outcomes (Stage 1)

We initially consulted with you between 16 August and 12 September 2022 about what you would like to see on the site and what the design should include so that it meets the needs of the community.

We received a high level of interest in the project and heard a wide range of suggestions and ideas including:

  • increased boat and equipment storage
  • a multipurpose indoor space
  • balcony or veranda for lake views
  • separate amenities for sports clubs and the public
  • a kiosk or café with a kitchen
  • a home for the sailing club
  • facilities for water sports
  • improved access to the water from the building

The feedback was used to form the basis of a list of preferred facilities / amenities to be included in the design brief for the design consultants to produce concept plans. These plans will be shared with the community in the next stage of consultation on the proposed design.

The facilities or amenities to be included in the final design will be subject to further community consultation, stakeholder feedback, project funding availability, and planning, environmental and design constraints.
