Palm Beach Aquatic Centre

The Palm Beach Aquatic and Community Centre is a landmark redevelopment of the existing Palm Beach Aquatic Centre venue into a regional aquatic centre with co-located aquatic, fitness, and community facilities.

The redevelopment incorporates a new 25m Fina Compliant Pool, Warm Water Program Pool and Learn to Swim Pool all with multiple disability access points. The state-of-the-art facility also
incorporates a large outdoor zero depth Splash Park with various zones to suit children of all ages and abilities.

This is a major project for the client, Gold Coast City Council.

APS have been engaged by the Main Contractor, Badge Constructions, and are responsible for the construction and installation of all Structural, Hydraulic, Finishes and Fit-out Elements for the
Aquatic Works. The pools are constructed as water retaining structures and have all passed hydrostatic testing.

As part of the works the existing 50m Pool also received a facelift with new tiling, wet deck grating and starting blocks to provide uniformity across the facility. New safety signage was also installed to bring the pool up to current safety codes.

The Pool Water Treatment has been expertly designed using water saving Neptune Benson Defender Regenerative Media Filters along with energy efficient VSD pumps and UV Disinfection systems.

The pools are finished using the Metz Tile system. The tiling works were subject to APS’s stringent QA procedures, providing the client with an extended 10 year warranty.

This project has been successfully completed, with Aquatic Project Solutions delivering the works on time and within budget.

Since completion, the Palm Beach Aquatic and Community Centre has gone on to become a multi-award-winning facility, taking out Project of the Year at the 2025 Master Builders Queensland Gold
Coast Housing & Construction Awards along with Sporting Facilities and Community Service Facilities honours, before its Sporting Facilities win progressed to a statewide win at the Queensland
Housing & Construction Awards.

APS is proud to have delivered the Aquatic Works underpinning this award-winning community asset.
