Project: City of Palmerston redeveloped the Palmerston Swimming and Fitness Centre into a Swimming, Wellness, Events, Leisure and Lifestyle precinct for the entire community to enjoy.

Overview

The proposed SWELL (Swimming, Wellness, Events, Leisure, Lifestyle) master plan is part of Council’s strategic vision to provide Palmerston residents with a contemporary and family friendly, water and lifestyle precinct.

Located in Moulden, Palmerston, the ageing facility will be upgraded to cater to a wider range of interests to support Palmerston’s growing population. 

The redevelopment included:

  • refurbishment of the 50-metre pool
  • a splash and play area
  • an events area
  • basketball half court
  • new and improved accessible toilets and change rooms
  • aquatic play structure
  • energy efficient, modern pool plant and equipment and shade features.
  • re-roofing of the gym and youth drop in centre

Cost

The City of Palmerston, the Northern Territory Government and the Australian Government have committed $19.4M towards this project.

Current Status

All of SWELL is open including the Adventure Play, all pools and the Gym.

SWELL was officially open to the public on 17 December 2023. 
Construction of the facility was completed late November as per the proposed timeline. Training and onboarding staff took place between November and December, with the facility now open to the public
