A collaborative pool revitalisation project

In collaboration with Turner & Townsend and West Daly Regional Council, we recently had the privilege of refurbishing the Wadeye community pool. Local swimming pools play a crucial role in remote communities, serving as hubs for social interaction, connection and a retreat on hot days. With crucial funding support from the NT Government, the Council was able to reopen the pool to the community after a long five year closure.

Grand opening celebration

The grand reopening was a heartwarming celebrating that brought the community of Wadeye together. The event saw locals eagerly diving into the revitalised pool, marking the end of a five-year wait. A highlight of the celebration was a friendly swim race between Chief Minister Natasha Fyles and Member for Daly, Dheran Young.
