Design Competition Results

Council has appointed architectural firm TERROIR to design the fit-for-purpose Resource Recovery Learning Centre (RRLC) waste education facility.

The appointment of TERROIR was the result of the design competition earlier this year. Three highly respected architectural firms were invited to submit concept designs, which were evaluated by Council and the Australian Institute of Architects.

The three concept designs were publicly displayed for the community to vote on. TERROIR was also awarded the People’s Choice Award.

The building will remain separate from existing adjacent structures and administration offices, however, will provide a clear connection and integration with the West Nowra site, including the new Bioelektra facility.

TERROIR, will be working in partnership with Council to produce a unique, world class educational facility. Proposed activities for the RRLC include school learning sessions, community education sessions, workshops and presentations. The building will also be the springboard for the current “Tip Tours” on offer.

Council is striving to become a best practice leader in the recovery, minimisation, re-use and processing of waste types that would normally end up in landfill. The proposed innovative building is yet another way that demonstrates this commitment.

The TERROIR Concept Design is published in the 'Document Library' on this web page.
