The new 3D printed Macquarie Lions Park West amenities facility is now completed and open to the public for use.

The redevelopment of this amenities facility was part of Council’s asset renewal program which ensures all assets across the Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) Local Government Area are updated and renewed to best support and service community needs into the future. The building was an aged building. It was showing signs of deterioration and wasn't accessible to all members of the community.

The Macquarie Lions Park West amenities facility was a unique and ground-breaking project for DRC and it was the first building or facility constructed by a Council anywhere in this nation using 3D printing technology.

The project has cost $322 041, excluding demolition of the old amenities building. The project had been in Council’s forward four year budget since 2021/22 as a necessary and programmed asset renewal project for the previous end of useful life amenity building.

The internal and external walls were 3D printed by contractor Contour 3D, while the internal fit-out and landscaping were completed by local tradespeople.
