The need for a future expansion of the Aqua Jetty facility to service our forecast population was first identified through the completion of a 2010 needs and feasibility study.
In February 2018 the City completed an updated Aqua Jetty Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study that investigated the capacity of the current facilities at the Aqua Jetty to meet the current and forecast community need. The study considered community and membership consultation and concluded that improvements and upgrades were required to both the aquatic and dry infrastructure to best cater for increased demand and ensure the Aqua Jetty continued to deliver as the City's flagship aquatic and leisure facility.
The Aqua Jetty currently includes a heated 50m outdoor pool, heated 25m indoor pool, leisure pool, hydrotherapy pool, sauna, fully-equipped health club, one multipurpose indoor court, outdoor courts, crèche and café.
At a Special Meeting of Council on 12 December 2023, the City of Rockingham’s Elected Members voted to decline the tenders for Stage Two of the Aqua Jetty in Warnbro as they exceed current budget allocations, and to instruct the CEO to investigate redesigning Stage Two in an effort to reduce construction costs (read the media release).
The Aqua Jetty Stage Two project in line with the Council resolution is currently in the re-design phase with the proposed construction phase to commence in 2026/2027.
