Stage One of the Alice Springs Aquatic Centre was officially opened today by Minister for Sport and Recreation Karl Hampton.

 

The Northern Territory Government committed $8.1 million to the Alice Springs Aquatic Centre development.

 

“This is a fantastic asset for the people of Alice Springs and it is great to see all levels of government working together in partnership to deliver this project,” Mr Hampton said.

 

“This delivers on an election commitment to deliver a heated pool and aquatic recreation facility for Alice Springs.

 

“Stage One includes a new learn-to-swim pool which will allow Alice youngsters to learn water safety and swimming skills in a specifically designed space.

 

“It also includes a new paddle pool which offers families more pool space to enjoy in the warm weather.

“The Alice Springs Aquatic Centre will be a first-class, family-orientated leisure centre with a focus on safe fun and adventure.

 

“It will also provide a year-round exercise and recreation centre for competition and fitness swimmers alike when Stage Two is complete.”

Stage Two of the Alice Springs Aquatic Centre redevelopment will include:

·   an indoor 8 lane, 25m swimming pool with disabled ramp access;

·   a leisure pool which will include a toddler’s area, a lazy river and pebble beach area and

·   upgraded kiosk/café reception, administration, club room, storage rooms and amenities.
