The Parks and Leisure Australia Regional Awards of Excellence celebrate the outstanding initiatives and innovative efforts of \u2018the people behind the places\u2019 which promote good use of leisure time for a number of social, environmental and economic benefits to the community.<\/p>\n
The Community Facility of the Year award recognises facilities that demonstrate innovative features of design, development and operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very proud of this fantastic community facility and those who work hard to make Wulanda a place for all,\u201d said Mayor of Mount Gambier Lynette Martin. \u201cWulanda is a game changer for our city. It is the result of an enormous amount of campaigning, design, and construction over many years by many people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Member for Barker Tony Pasin was equally thrilled that a project for which he so strongly advocated is receiving such strong endorsements from not just the community, but visitors and now at an industry level. \u201cExciting but not surprising,\u201d Mr Pasin said. \u201cWulanda was a bold vision, delivered with conviction and all three levels of government funding the project.<\/p>\n
Great things happen when we work together for the benefit of regional communities.\u201d The award nomination was submitted by project architects DesignInc.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are extremely proud to see the contribution that Wulanda brings to the community be recognised by the Parks and Leisure Association,\u201d DesignInc associate director Ben Luppino said. \u201cWe again thank the City of Mount Gambier council for enabling us to be part of the collaborative journey throughout the project, it is great to see such a positive response from the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
