WINNER
Leigh Creek
Health Clinic
by Sarah Constructions
In remote South Australia, the challenge of delivering quality healthcare infrastructure has long been compounded by geography, logistics, and outdated perceptions about what communities "deserve." When an ageing community health facility was earmarked for replacement in Leigh Creek, Sarah Constructions (Sarah) was appointed to demonstrate that modular construction could deliver not just adequate facilities, but permanent, high-performance clinical infrastructure that rivals urban standards.
The Leigh Creek Health Clinic represents a fundamental shift in how remote healthcare infrastructure is conceived and delivered. This 12-module facility, designed and constructed entirely in Adelaide before transportation to site, challenges long-held assumptions that modular construction equates to temporary or inferior solutions. Instead, it establishes a new paradigm where geography no longer limits the standard of care or infrastructure quality that communities receive.
