Brewarrina Civic Square

Location: Brewarrina, NSW
Building Type: Civic

In the early 1980s, the Brewarrina Shire Council commissioned the NSW Government Architect to prepare a design for a multi-purpose civic square and surrounding buildings.

The building was comprised of a:

• library

• child minding centre

• squash courts

• meeting rooms

• multi-purpose hall

• retail

Standard pre-fab metal sheds were used as the building “blocks” and these were wrapped around the outdoor performing space. This construction system was selected to yield real savings. Unfortunately this design was not built.
