The new and very popular Bay Pavilions Arts-Aquatic at Batemans Bay is a showcase of Pentarch Forestry’s KD F27 hardwood panelling.

Opened 12 months ago, the centre houses arts, culture and aquatic facilities with several indoor pools, an auditorium, a gallery, meeting rooms, a café, a visitors’ centre and spaces for arts workshops.

It was also recognised by a series of awards including the Master Builders Association of NSW award for Excellence in Construction in the Public Building Over $60 million category, and Best Regional Project at the Australian Institute of Project Management NSW awards, as well as Editor’s Choice at the 2022 Sustainability Awards.

The $69 million project took two years to complete and features 5,388 linear metres of Pentarch Forestry 190 mm × 45 mm KD F27 Hardwood.

“The centre is a triumph of flowing lines and functionality and so rewarding to see our hardwood panelling produce its most appealing features,” said Matthew Jurd, Pentarch’s area sales manager (NSW and ACT).

“People visit to see art in a building which is art itself!"
