Where Are We?
Scarborough Beach is one of the most important tourism destinations in the ‘Experience Perth’ tourism region. Its strength as a tourism destination and local service hub for residents is demonstrated by high employment figures, and its role as an attraction and event location. It caters for the demands of international, interstate and intrastate visitors.
Scarborough’s revitalisation has built on its unique identity to create a diverse destination that compliments the beachfront and broadens its appeal to different visitors. A contemporary beach destination, alive with restaurants, cafés, shopping, entertainment and programmed activities attracts new visitors, local residents, workers and commercial investment.
Our Pool – Green Facts
Our 26 million dollar pool is the only WA pool to have a 6 star green energy rating incorporating Geo-thermally heated water via the Yaragadee aquifer deep below the ground. The main pool is 26C to 28C, while the learners pool is kept at 32C year round. Our pool uses rainwater for pool top up and filter cleaning. It uses water from the pool to keep the facility and surrounding offices cool via the air conditioning system in summer.
Overall, the features significantly reduce operational costs and save more than 3,000 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide emissions each year. This is enough to offset the emissions of driving around the world 400 times! A multipurpose destination that services locals and visitors from further afield, it is situated on land that is an A Class Recreation Reserve.
