Watson Health Hub - Watson, ACT
The new $49 million Watson Health Hub has been developed to replace the ageing facilities and infrastructure previously occupied by Ted Noffs and Marymead CatholicCare at the base of Mt Majura in Watson, ACT. The purpose-built development comprises four buildings, each designed to provide specialised support, treatment and rehabilitation services for young people experiencing mental health challenges and alcohol or other drug-related issues.
Project Design Brief
The design brief required the incorporation of an integrated stormwater management system to store both surface water from paved areas and runoff from roof drainage systems. Stormwater is to be detained within an underground tank and released at a controlled rate to the local government’s downstream network.
