Energy upgrades at Aquatic facilities

Energy upgrades to replace all LPG heated pools are being planned for Alpine Aqualand, Wānaka Recreation Centre and Arrowtown Memorial Pool. This project aims to minimise the environmental impact of our energy consumption as well as reduce the cost of running our facilities. These aims are also outlined in our Climate and Biodiversity Plan.
