WCH Foundation Beach House Build Update

The Beach House construction phase is nearly complete, and the landscape transformation has begun!

(March 2019)

The build of the WCH Foundation Beach House has progressed quickly thanks to our Build Partner, Bella Build & Design and to the countless trades and building supply companies who have so generously contributed in-kind materials and labour to keep the project on schedule.

The next stage for the project is the landscaping. Our landscaping partner, Coastal Landscapes & Fencing, based locally in Victor Harbor, are proud to be able to work with our Foundation and the hospital on such an important project.

Owner Don Bailey said, “Coastal Landscapes and Fencing are privileged to be involved with the with the WCH Foundation Beach House as it is a very worthwhile endeavour that has far reaching positive affects for the many families that will use it.”

The design for the ‘play-scaping’ of the exterior is an integral part of contributing to the memory making aspect for our families. Our desire is that the Beach House will be a true holiday destination, showcasing the vast and beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula, especially for families who may experience difficulties exploring the region.

“Having a safe, beautiful and thoroughly equipped home and yard for families to come for a holiday and create wonderful memories is precious to those going through the headache of a sick child.” Don said.

With a sensory bike track, dry creek bed and wheelchair accessible cubbyhouse plus multiple play zonesto suit all ages, the design encourages creative and interactive activities to entertain or simply relax as a family. It is so exciting after all this time to see our Beach House taking shape and we can’t wait to welcome our first family.
