SUMMARY:SA/NT Technical Tour and Talk - Casuarina Aquatic Centre\, Darwin
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we take a deep dive technical tour of City of Darwin’s Casuarina Aquatics and Leisure Centre on Thursday 30 July 2.30pm – 5.00pm. This session is designed to support ongoing industry learning and professional development for recreation and community infrastructure professionals. This $26.8million project\, completed in July 2024\, transformed the facility in Darwin’s northern suburbs from a traditional 1970s style outdoor pool with limited accessibility\, functionality and sustainability\, into a modern\, inclusive\, family-friendly community hub\, unique within the NT.  Hear from the City of Darwin\, AILA\, Myrtha Pools – all involved in the project – to understand the challenges\, wins\, and lessons learnt during the journey\, and meet the facility operators to discuss how the site functions day-to-day. Save the date\, time\, and keep an hour or two afterwards\, for networking drinks at Mindil Beach Sunset Market from 5pm. Sponsored by Urban Play\, there will be a tab behind the bar! If you plan on coming to the networking drinks only\, please purchase the free ticket for registration purposes.  Please note: Free off-street parking is availble on site. This tour involves a walk around the facility\, please bring along hat\, sunscreen and water bottle. All photos courtesy of Charlie Bliss\, supplied by City of Darwin.
