Delta Environmental Centre - Facilities


RESOURCE CENTRE Delta operates a dynamic and well-equipped resource centre. It caters for members of the public, students, teachers and the education staff requiring information for projects on environmental and ecological matters. A unique collection of books, magazines, pamphlets, videos, slides and posters can be used as references to assist research or project work. DISCOVERY CENTRE The Discovery Centre allows groups to participate in experiments and activities covering topics such as soil, energy, air and water. NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM A natural history museum houses displays depicting a variety of biomes, including wetlands, mangrove swamps, desert and grassland ecosystems. Other permanent Museum exhibits include the geology of the Witwatersrand, an ecosystem around a fig tree, and spiders and scorpions.
CONFERENCE FACILITIES Situated in 100 hectares of tranquil parkland, this unique "green" conference facility in the heart of an urban setting, is dedicated to developing environmental awareness and all funds generated are used to support environmental programmes. The Centre is conveniently situated only 15 minutes from either the Johannesburg city centre or Sandton, and offers ample, free parking. There are several comfortable hotels conveniently located to the Centre. The facilities include an Auditorium, cosy enough for 40, yet seats 186 in raked, theatre-style comfort and has a small carpeted stage and large-screen projection facilities (Thompson VHS video projector). The versatile, 20m x 11m Function Room can seat 160 and has been used as an exhibition hall, for cocktail parties, product launches, breakfasts, dinners, seminars, workshops, training sessions and plays. In addition, we have two breakaway rooms: the Indaba Room which seats approximately 50 delegates, while the Boardroom seats twelve. Standard audio-visual equipment such as an overhead projector, direct image projector, flipchart, 35mm slide projector, white board and TV monitor and video are available.
The Centre has a unique ambience and as well as the small natural history museum which can be explored during breaks, there is an outdoor area where delegates can enjoy tea or form breakaway groups under umbrellas and indigenous trees while listening to bird song. An outdoor amphitheater with a grassed slope is available for drama workshops, jazz or classical music events. We believe every function is special and deserves our personal service and attention to detail, and we pride ourselves on fulfilling our clients' individual requirements. Professional catering can be arranged for your specific requirements. Please contact the Conference Manager for further details.
