Aquarena has retained its Platinum Pool status accredited by Life Saving Victoria, recognising outstanding commitment to aquatic safety, supervision and risk management.
Manningham Mayor Cr Jim Grivas said this recognition comes at an exciting time as the Aquarena Outdoor Redevelopment progresses, with facility manager Aligned Leisure implementing extensive operational changes to ensure safety and care during construction.
"As we progress with the redevelopment, this achievement reinforces that safety and excellence will continue to be top priorities in Aquarena's future," Cr Grivas said.
Cr Grivas added that the achievement highlights the strength of Council's partnership with facility manager Aligned Leisure and its focus on best practice.
"The recognition of Platinum Pool status is a testament to the exceptional work of Aligned Leisure and their dedicated team at Aquarena.
"Through our strong partnership, we are delivering not only a high-quality aquatic facility, but one that meets the top industry-leading standards for our community," he said.
The prestigious accreditation is the highest level awarded under Life Saving Victoria's Pool Safety Assessment Program, benchmarking public pools against industry-leading standards across areas such as supervision, signage, emergency procedures and staff training.
The Aquarena Outdoor Redevelopment is expected to be completed in early 2028, weather permitting.
