Calliope Central Bowls Club will be the only one in the Gladstone region that will have a permanent roof. It allows competitions to be scheduled well in advance without the worry of weather. The club is building a strong focus on getting the local community involved with barefoot bowls and social events, so it is more than simply a bowling club – it is a local destination.
The curved roof structure was designed to withstand the massive loads from cyclones and was constructed from curved circular steel members and high-tech premium waterproof PVC membrane. The membrane offers 100% UVR block for a safe playing environment for all ages while allowing 9% natural light transmission to reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day. The structure has efficient LED lighting for evening events, and a PA system to extend the buildings public address into the area. The project was conducted with a unique methodology with zero access to the green at any point during construction.
