The Noarlunga Aquatic Centre is taking shape as one of the region’s most exciting community upgrades, with major works progressing to deliver a more modern, sustainable and enjoyable space for everyone.
Demolition and equipment removal are complete, the roof replacement is well advanced, and new pool systems and acoustic features are being installed.
Thanks to a competitive tender and additional funding, the project has also grown beyond its original scope to include major sustainability and amenity upgrades.
These improvements will make the centre more energy-efficient and comfortable, while reducing long-term running costs. Highlights include new electric pool heating systems, double-glazed windows, upgraded insulation, refurbished spa and sauna areas, improved Wi-Fi, a refreshed café and reception area, and new landscaping.
Mayor Moira Were said the expansion reflects the council’s commitment to building a healthy and sustainable community.
“This upgrade is all about our community and together creating a future-ready aquatic centre that supports healthy lifestyles, reduces emissions, and provides a space our community can be proud of,” Mayor Were said.
“We’ve taken the opportunity to go beyond the basics, investing in modern systems and design improvements that will make the centre more comfortable, energy-efficient and enjoyable for everyone.”
The council has also applied for state government funding for an exciting new outdoor splash pad to further enhance the centre’s family appeal.
While these exciting additions mean the reopening is now expected at the beginning of summer 2026–27, the outcome will be a high-quality, welcoming facility that will serve the community for decades to come.
The Noarlunga Aquatic Centre refurbishment is proudly supported by the City of Onkaparinga and the Australian Government’s Thriving Suburbs Program.
