FAQs

The redevelopment aims to improve facilities, meet current safety standards and better serve the needs of our growing community.

The redeveloped Kwinana Recquatic will offer a wide range of aquatic, recreational, fitness and wellness options that cater to our growing population in Kwinana. The focus on inclusivity and accessibility ensures that everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background, can fully participate and benefit from the centre’s offerings. 

The final concept and inclusions will be designed to fit within the allocated budget.

We’re currently in the early stages of this exciting redevelopment project.

Whilst there are no definitive timeframes at this stage, we have commencing the planning and design process, following the grant agreement being in place. The entire process may take 12-18 months (to be confirmed). 

As the design process progresses, construction timeframes will become clearer and further updates will be shared at the time.  

We understand the interest in adding a 50m and/or outdoor pool with water slides. The redevelopment scope does not include these features.  

The Kwinana Recquatic site is quite constrained and the City has a set budget to deliver a redevelopment, therefore we are unable to include these features.

Another factor is the consideration for the operations and management of the redeveloped facility. The City’s goal is to minimise the ongoing level of subsidy required from our ratepayers by delivering a functional facility that maximises opportunity for the community to recreate within the budget scope.

We’re exploring options like solar heating, water-saving technologies and eco-friendly building materials, subject to budget allocations.

We don't know yet. Any changes to pricing will be communicated well in advance and will reflect the facilities and services on offer.

Thanks to $15 million in Federal funding, the City of Kwinana is fast-tracking a $37 million redevelopment of the Kwinana Recquatic Centre. The City identified $22m in the Long-Term Financial Plan, which will add to the $15m in grant funding.

The City of Kwinana has been awarded two significant grants under the Federal Government’s Thriving Suburbs Program. These grants represent a transformative investment in our community and pave the way for some incredible developments:

• $15 million for the redevelopment of the Kwinana Recquatic
• $2.1 million for upgrades to the City Centre Precinct - – a project which will interact with the Recquatic redevelopment 

There may be temporary closures or limited access during certain phases. We’ll keep you updated with any impacts, timelines and alternative options when we know what the redevelopment will specifically encompass. 

Absolutely! We value your input and would love to hear your thoughts. Community feedback is essential to shaping the future of our leisure facility.  We will have opportunities on Love My Kwinana (this website) and at several pop up's for the community to have their say during the project.

We’re committed to keeping the community informed every step of the way, providing regular updates and ensuring transparency as we move toward a refreshed and improved leisure facility.
