A little over 12 months after commencing and the Shire’s $69 million Bay Pavilions construction has really started to take shape – so where are things currently at?
- Approximately 78% of the construction program has already been completed
- The health club, aquatics and theatre areas all have roofing overhead, with internal fit-outs now underway
- 99kw of solar panels have been installed atop the pool roof
- Both indoor pools have been tiled and are nearing practical completion (check out our fun fact below)
- Construction of the waterslide tower has commenced (visible from the Beach Road and Highway intersection)
Works to date
Upcoming works
- Installation of 4 amazing waterslides to the tower
- Continuing the internal fit-out of the health club, aquatics and theatre areas
- Pouring of paths surrounding both indoor pools
Fun fact!
A whopping 24,467 tiles have been laid in the 25m indoor pool, using 6 different colours and supporting the pool to hold an incredible 783,000 litres of water!
