Alkimos Aquatic Recreation Centre project

The City of Wanneroo has secured $65 million to fund the construction of a state-of-the-art aquatic and recreation centre in Alkimos which is expected to open its doors in 2026.

The Alkimos Aquatic and Recreation Centre (AARC) project will feature indoor and outdoor swimming pools, gym and fitness facilities, sports courts, a crèche, café, change rooms and carpark, and cater to people of all ages and abilities.

The City is grateful to have received pledges of $30 million from the Federal Government, $10 million from the State Government and $10.6 million through the Alkimos-Eglinton Developer Contribution Plan to help deliver this facility for our growing community.
