The Adelaide Aquatic Centre is one step closer to becoming a reality after a development application for the $135 million world-class facility has been submitted.
The application contains updated artist impressions of the design, a planning report that describes the proposed development, as well as several reports and assessments.
The State Commission Assessment Panel (SCAP) is expected to review the application in the upcoming months, with formal consent required prior to beginning construction in North Adelaide’s Pardipardinyilla / Denise Norton Park.
JPE Design Studio and Warren and Mahoney were appointed as the designers of the centre in September 2022.
Replacing the existing structure, the reimagined multi-level facility will offer amenities such as a 25-metre, an eight-lane outdoor pool with a lagoon; dedicated pools for rehabilitation as well as a gym, sauna and steam room facilities; a cafe and play areas.
The new centre will occupy less space than the existing one, returning approximately 1,000 square metres to the Adelaide Park Lands that surround the city.
The building’s design aims to blend in with the natural surroundings and align with National Heritage principles, with clear delineation between the city and the parklands.
