Built in the 1970s using an automated construction system developed by Dante Bini known as a binishell. Originally named the Yanchep/Two Rocks Community Recreation Centre, it was completed in 1978 and officially opened on 24 February 1979. Initially, only the upper part was used for activities. In 1982 a library, craft room and storage areas were added on the ground floor. In April 1988 work commenced to replace the top of the dome with a conventionally constructed second storey. This process was completed in December 1988 and the Centre officially re-opened on 3 December 1989. On 24 August 2000, the City of Wanneroo, which had taken over the management of the building, dedicated the Centre to Phil Renkin, a pioneer of the area, by renaming the facility, the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre.
