Australian Sailing

project overview

Australian Sailing moved their administration and training facilities and selected Grafton Projects to re-imagine and transform the new space. Their new location at Sub Base Platypus brings Australian Sailing closer to the local sailing community and ensures their sustainability into the future.

Sub Base Platypus was formerly HMAS Platypus, an Australian Navy submarine base. The site has also hosted a gasworks, as well as workshops for manufacturing and maintaining torpedoes for use in the Second World War. Grafton Projects worked to transform the Fleet Workshops into a contemporary space while retaining its historic features.
