NBRSARCHITECTURE are delivering a community health facility at Dapto for the Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District. Dapto Community Health Centre is located in area of significant residential growth on the outskirts of the Wollongong metropolitan region. Primary health needs in the region are diverse, and the HealthOne model of out-patient care improves access to care for local residents.

The aim is to create a welcoming environment that engages with the town centre’s masterplanning prinicples for improved public open space, vibrant and diverse business and retail close to transport links. The building frontage conveys openness and transparency, acting like a window-box and billboard for the health-related activities inside.
