Morwell Bowling Club Project: Rapid-Rebuild Temporary Facility for Community Recovery.
When disaster strikes, the impact extends beyond physical damage, affecting businesses, communities, and livelihoods. This was the case for Morwell Bowling Club, which faced significant disruption after a fire destroyed their facility, halting operations and impacting revenue. To ensure the club could resume services as quickly as possible, Australian Temporary Structures provided a rapid-build solution, delivering a fully functional, customised temporary facility within a short timeframe.
