We are excited to welcome the community back to Olympic Leisure Centre from 27 July. Enjoy the new gym, program studio, sauna and group fitness classes, reconnect with friends and staff at our welcome morning tea, and experience the refreshed facilities ahead of our membership campaign in August.
We asked for $4.7 million Federal Government investment for the electrifiction of WaterMarc Aquatic Centre and its above office complex, to enable the facility to run on 100% renewable energy.
Our aquatic centres produce the highest amount of carbon emissions of all our activities, accounting for 54% of scope 1 and 2 emissions. We remain on track for our target of being carbon neutral by 2028.
Why now? WaterMarc relies on 4 gas boilers to maintain a constant temperature of its pool water, pool hall and office area. They consume about 38,000,000 MJ/yr and cost over $400,000 to operate. Electrifying the site will remove all emissions from on-site operations, and the electric replacement heat pumps will be 3-5 times more energy efficient than boilers.
