Bronte Surf Life Saving Club sits on Gadigal and Bidjigal Country, exhibiting a landscape that has changed over time, cared for by Traditional Owners since time immemorial, then occupied by early European colonists.

Our landscape response articulates a layered story of site analysis, unfolding to provide a contextual concept. Our design, along with the architecture which seeks to complete the headland, sensitively integrates soft and hard elements to generate a symbiotic relationship between the new and old public landscape at Bronte Beach.

This proposal for the Bronte Surf Life Saving Club and Community Facilities upgrade is an amended application in response to the Design Excellence Advisory Panel reviews and planning deferral letters. The project replaces the existing building constructed in 1974 that has reached the end of its useable life with a contemporary facility in the same location for Waverley Council Lifeguards, Council Park maintenance staff, Bronte Surf Life Saving Club and upgrades the existing public kiosk and amenities to provide accessible and family change facilities.

The new landscape responds respectfully to the park's current and future uses whilst recognising its past through an interpretative design that references water flow, gully character and enhances ocean views.
