The nation’s first privately-owned indoor water park has been officially opened in Wyndham Vale.
Developer Lotus Living opened the doors of the $15 million water park at the Jubilee estate on Saturday.
Named Club Jubilee One, the water park features a three lane 25-metre lap pool; a large leisure pool with an area for learning to swim; a toddler pool with splash pad and waterplay areas; two indoor waterslides; and a junior fun zone with water cannons, ground sprays and water spurts.
A fully-equipped gymnasium with a separate group class training room has also been built, to allow residents to participate in fitness classes such as yoga.
All Jubilee residents will receive a membership to the water park via the estate’s homeowner’s association.
The water park was designed by Baldasso Cortese architects and built by McCorkell Constructions.
Leisure facility management company Bluefit will operate the water park and will conduct aquatic-based programs, such as a year-round Learn to Swim program for children and adults.
Lotus Living’s general manager Daniel Smith said the delivery of Jubilee’s water park marked “a significant milestone“ for the community.
“We are extremely proud to have successfully delivered this state-of-the-art facility to our valued residents within 18 months of construction commencing,” said Mr Smith.
“Our commitment is to create a unique community for current and future residents at Jubilee, and the completion of Club Jubilee One is the first step in our journey towards building a community with true heart and soul, whereby our facilities act as a central hub for residents to meet and socialise.”
The Jubilee estate will eventually comprise 7000 dwellings, plus a 5.4-hectare town centre with 8000 square metres of retail and commercial space, a 1.2-hectare neighbourhood centre incorporating a supermarket and marketplace, a 33-hectare employment zone and 77 hectares of parkland.
