Sunshine Coast City Hall

Having recently created the SunCentral CBD development by redeveloping Horton Park Golf Club, the Sunshine Coast Council required a landmark City Hall development to anchor the precinct. In alignment with the Council’s “Healthy, Smart, Creative” vison, the City Hall is required to be accessible to the public, embody sustainability within the design and have a positive impact both on those who work within the space and also residents who interact with Council. This outcome was also required to be achieved within an organic built form which reflects the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast region.

ADG Engineers Sunshine Coast team had the depth of experience and capability to deliver high value engineering services which enabled realisation of the Council’s vision. ADG Engineers ability to draw on current national experience and apply this to the local environment delivered exceptional outcomes.

ADG Engineers drew on the immense experience of its Sunshine Coast staff to develop efficient structural solutions incorporating the latest technology that maintained the integrity of the organic architectural building form. These services were delivered in a collaborative BIM environment which enabled visualisation and service clash detection to occur well in advance of potential problems arising on site.

Through efficient structural design ADG Engineers achieved a 20% reduction in embodied CO2 when compared to the base reference design.

In recognition of a developing transport infrastructure environment, future flexibility to convert carpark levels to additional office space was integrated into the structural solution.
The Civil Engineering design integrates with EDQ requirements and achieves flood immunity for the project giving consideration to potential adverse climate change impacts.

ADG Engineers unique combination of local presence, depth of experience and advanced analytical and BIM capability underpinned the delivery of this landmark project.
