The Collaroy Centre

Business-to-business

The Collaroy Centre, owned and operated by the Salvation Army, is one of Sydney’s most unique venues, offering camps, retreats, conferences, and community programs on the Northern Beaches.

However, the organisation’s digital presence no longer reflected the quality of the facility or the depth of its mission. The website structure was confusing, content was outdated, and the online experience did little to communicate the authentic atmosphere of the Centre.

Visitors struggled to understand what made the venue special, and enquiry pathways were unclear. The organisation needed a digital presence that could represent the experience of the Centre while supporting bookings across schools, churches, community groups, and corporate programs.

Redfox partnered with The Collaroy Centre to undertake a complete digital transformation.

The program included:

  • A full website rebuild aligned with the Centre’s mission and audience needs
  • Redesigned information architecture and user journeys to improve enquiry pathways
  • Development of new content to reflect the real experience of the Centre
  • SEO strategy to improve organic visibility
  • Social media and content campaigns to strengthen storytelling and engagement
  • Secure hosting, maintenance and ongoing optimisation

The goal was not simply to modernise the website but to create a digital presence that genuinely reflected the Centre’s purpose, community impact, and unique location.

The Results

Since the new website launched in February 2025, the platform has become the central hub for enquiries, information, and engagem

Since launching in February 2025, the new digital platform has become a more effective enquiry, information, and engagement channel for The Collaroy Centre. The strongest outcomes have been seen in enquiry momentum, audience visibility, and the quality of visitor interactions before the team ever picks up the phone.

"Clear communication builds trust. When visitors understand the experience and the mission behind it, enquiries follow naturally."
Strong Enquiry Momentum
Since the website launch in February 2025, the platform has generated over 1,270 enquiries, creating a consistent stream of interest from schools, churches, community groups and corporate organisations exploring the Centre.
Growing Community Visibility
Digital engagement has strengthened across social platforms, with three-second Facebook video views increasing by 290% and the Centre gaining 150 new followers, expanding awareness of the venue and its mission.
Clearer Visitor Journeys
Improved information architecture and content structure make it easier for visitors to find the details they need about accommodation, programs and facilities before contacting the team, resulting in more informed and higher-quality enquiries.

The Impact

The Collaroy Centre now has a digital presence that better reflects the authenticity and professionalism of the venue.

The website has become the central platform for enquiries, bookings, and storytelling, helping the organisation communicate its mission while showcasing the experience of the Centre itself.

The result is stronger enquiry quality, clearer messaging, and a digital platform that supports the Centre’s long-term reputation and growth.

Today the facility is frequently booked well in advance, demonstrating how a clear digital presence can help translate interest into real-world engagement.

Redfox continues to support The Collaroy Centre as an ongoing digital partner, helping evolve the site, content, and campaigns as the organisation grows.

Turning a confused digital presence into a clear booking engine

Through a complete website rebuild, improved information architecture and ongoing digital support, The Collaroy Centre developed a clearer and more authentic online presence. The platform now supports consistent enquiry flow, stronger search visibility and a digital experience that better reflects the mission and atmosphere of the Centre.
