The Southside Hydrotherapy Pool delivers a vital new facility purpose-built to support treatment and rehabilitation for people living with chronic conditions or recovering from injury and surgery.
As an extension to the Lakeside Leisure Centre, the project included a new hydrotherapy pool, bathroom and changing facilities, a crèche, and significant upgrades such as a new substation, electrical infrastructure, and a Registered Changing Places facility designed for bariatric users.
Specialist design and construction solutions were required to meet stringent material, specification, and environmental standards, while ensuring minimal disruption to the operating centre. Key features include robust corrosion-resistant finishes, extensive waterproofing and structural elements, and accessible amenities such as ramps, bathrooms, and hoists.
The outcome is a durable, inclusive, and community-focused healthcare facility that will enhance quality of life for people across Canberra.
