Australia's first 6 Star Green Star aquatic facility

Northcote Aquatic Recreation Centre

The City of Darebin sought to meet the community’s expanding leisure needs in its redevelopment of the Northcote Aquatic and Recreation Centre (NARC). Surpassing this, a new Australian benchmark for aquatic facility design, functionality, and experience has been achieved.
The Northcote Aquatic Recreation Centre wants for nothing when compared with the finest hotel pools. The facility, which has just opened its doors to a design by Warren and Mahoney, marks a departure for aquatic centres of its kind.

Bringing together the passion and expertise of the design team, contractor, suppliers and sub-contractors, Warren and Mahoney were able to bring the aquatic centre into the modern age.
