State Government’s new Adelaide Aquatic Centre project is on track for completion this summer in Adelaide’s Northern Park Lands at Pardipardinyilla / Denise Norton Park (Park 2).

  • The scope of the works is for new tree planting to complement the State Government’s landscaping as a part of the new Aquatic Centre.
  • The City of Adelaide is looking to undertake its tree planting in April - May 2026.
  • The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) provided multiple opportunities in early and late 2022 for the community to provide feedback during the site selection and concept design phases of the project to ensure community needs and expectations were considered in the final design.
  • Ongoing project updates have been provided via the Aquatic Centre webpage. Updates, news and works notices - Department for Infrastructure and Transport - South Australia
