 LANE COVE AQUATIC CENTRE – COMMERCIAL BUILDING REFURBISHMENT

Project Details

The Lane Cove Aquatic Leisure Centre is a community leisure and recreation facility located on Sydney’s lower north shore. Owned by Lane Cove Council and managed by BlueFit. Facilities include Aquatics, Health Club, Sauna, Steam Room Spa, Crèche and Cafe.

The Lane Cove Council engaged Bermagui Constructions to carry out alterations and additions to the existing layout of the Aquatic Centre and also major rectification works to the roof structure and southern glazed facade.

The works took place when the entire leisure centre, outdoor and indoor pools and gym were still in operation. Bermagui Constructions had to coordinate with the management of the leisure centre and Lane Cove Council to ensure that the project was delivered on time and with minimal disruption to the operations of the leisure centre, its staff and patrons.

The works were completed in time for the peak usage in Summer 2014-2015.
