The $7.2 million centre will be constructed on the existing Aquatic Centre site adjacent to the Olympic Pool. We were engaged by GHP Architects to provide a multi-disciplinary design including structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and ESD.

The new facility will include an indoor heated 25-metre eight lane pool, the covering of the existing toddlers’ pool, tiered seating for 200, a crèche, a new kiosk and outdoor café area, additional parking, new change rooms, a courtyard and upgraded entry.

The structural design solution included high strength galvanised cable as the bottom chord member to provide a light and visually attractive solution.
