$120m contract value


Williams Ross were engaged at the end of 2023 to develop the new Plumpton Aquatic and Wellness Centre with Melton City Council. The centre will focus on wellbeing, accessibility and inclusion, featuring Australia’s first water sensory area. It will be a destination for physical activity, participation, community connectivity and fun.

Council and community aspirations for PALC have overwhelmingly been for a facility that welcomes its diverse community and creates a place for people of all abilities to feel comfortable and participate.

The concept for the PALC is based on community needs - addressing the significant allied health service gaps and providing meaningful all-abilities access to the aquatic sensory experience.

The new centre will be an all-electric facility aiming for a 5-star Green Star accreditation.

 

The Indoor Aquatic & Leisure facility spaces include:

  • 50m, 8 lane competition pool with accessible ramp, swim wall and spectator seating.

  • 2 x Learn-to-Swim pools

  • Leisure and toddler’s pool with accessible beach entry

  • Water play unit and splashpad

  • Water slides

  • Warm water program pool with accessible ramp

  • Spas and sauna

  • Sensory aquatic space

  • Health and fitness spaces, including a 1,400 square metre gym and group fitness spaces

  • Outdoor lagoon pool and passive recreation spaces.
