Normanville foreshore transformation: Celebrating the completion of the Surf Life Saving Club & Aqua Blue Café/Kiosk

The District Council of Yankalilla is delighted to announce the successful completion of the Normanville Surf Life Saving Club & Aqua Blue Café/Kiosk, marking a significant milestone for the community. The fantastic new facilities symbolise a commitment to enhancing beach safety and recreational amenities at the iconic Normanville Foreshore.

The Normanville SLSC plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of beachgoers, with dedicated lifeguards and state-of-the-art equipment. In addition, the Aqua Blue Café/Kiosk not only adds a charming addition to the coastal landscape but also provides a welcoming space for locals and visitors to relax and enjoy the beach atmosphere.

The Council is thrilled to present this fantastic addition to our community and could not have done it without the support of our project partners - Partek Construction & Interiors, Architects Inc., Bestec, Wallbridge Gilbert Aztec (WGA), Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB), and Buildsurv who worked tirelessly under the guidance of our Project Manager John Kantilaftis. Thank you to our funding partners - SafeCom (State Gov), Surf Life Saving SA and Normanville SLSC. The combined contributions have resulted not only in a safer community but also in the overall well-being and enjoyment of this picturesque coastal area.


Design and Development

The District Council of Yankalilla worked in partnership with Normanville Surf Life Saving Club to confirm the design elements required for the rebuild of the Clubrooms and the adjoining Café/Kiosk.

These works were part of the broader Normanville Foreshore Masterplan and Jetty Caravan Park Masterplan which covers three main project components:

  • New Cabins within the Jetty Caravan Park
  • Combined Rebuild Surf Club Café/Kiosk
  • Normanville Foreshore upgrade works.

  • Architects Ink completed the overall design of the combined facilities.
  • Surf Lifesaving SA has been appointed to Project Manage construction of the combined facilities.
  • Partek Construction & Interiors has been contracted to construct the facilities.


Design Principles

Functional and Fit for Purpose

Robust in Nature

  • Built to withstand severe coastal conditions.
  • Low maintenance and energy efficiency.

Integrated with Site

  • An integrated part of the Normanville Foreshore Masterplan.
  • Connected and welcoming to the public.

Viable in the Long Term

  • SLSC & Cafe/Kiosk design developed alongside a robust business case.
  • Costs within budget and ongoing costs sustainable.

    The site is clear and ready for Partek Constructions to deliver this amazing community asset of the Normanville Surf Life Saving Club & Cafe/Kiosk.

    With Council supporting the preferred tenderer in September, this allowed the project team to hand the site to the Old Red Brick Co, the demolition contractor from Tuesday 4 October. From that time, site fencing, site establishment, electrical disconnection and asbestos removal commenced. Ahead of that time, on Friday 30 September, Council received vacant possession of the former Café/ Kiosk tenancy with that lease arrangement now concluded.
