Dalyellup Multipurpose Community & Youth Centre (DMCYC)

The DMCYC project was awarded in December 2024, which then triggered site occupation and the commencement of works by the contractor (Perkins).

April 2025 Update:

Exciting progress is being made on the Dalyellup Multipurpose Community and Youth Centre (DMCYC), with the project really starting to take shape!

Over the past month, major groundwork has been completed, including the installation of in-ground services and pouring of the footings.

Next up is the pouring of the concrete slab - an exciting step that will pave the way for the structural steel to go up.

Once the steel is in place, the community will get a glimpse of the striking design of the future DMCYC, bringing the vision of this vibrant new hub to life.

 

March 2025 Update:

  • Perkins commenced site establishment (fencing, site compound, etc) starting 6 January 2025.
  • From there they have commenced with shop drawings development to get all the long lead items ordered to support the construction program.
    • This has and still is keeping both the design and project team very busy in what we call RFI (Request for information) and design clarification to ensure all is well.
  • While all this is ongoing, Perkins have commenced civil works on site that now see’s the site being levelled ready for service installation pre-lay (power, water, sewer etc) and foundation form work.
    • In addition to this the car park area has also been prepared with drainage being installed ahead of other works.
  • There are a multitude of other actions also ongoing, to many to mention, that all work to see this project progress through its anticipated timeline and milestones.
  • Finally, the Shire has successfully engaged the services of an artistic coordinator (Joanne Hill) for the development of the public and built form art that will be included in this project.
    • Joanne comes with a wealth of experience in this space having been part of the BORR project team for very much the same work.
    • We see Joanne’s support in this space help us achieve a really good outcome and link to both community and country.

February 2025 Update:

From the images, it is evident that Perkins have started 2025 with a bang, the following to be noted:

  • Full design review and shop drawing development has been underway since December 2024.
  • Site occupation was taken on 6 January 2025, with the following ensuing:
    • Establishment of site fencing.
    • Service location.
    • Site office establishment.
    • Commencement of civil works (ground works to establish levels as shown in the photos)

This is another major milestone for the project and demonstrates Perkins commitment to the project through expedient mobilisation and ongoing project document development to support the most efficient and expedient project delivery of this iconic structure.
