After a long awaited and contentious project that included many sources of input, the project finally materialized into an award of Tender to Acorp Construction to deliver the Architect designed Restoration and Heritage project which included:
- Demolition and removal of materials
- New construction to depict Yesteryear
- Preservation of Heritage materials
- Extensive Landscaping and Hydraulics
The Lord Forrest Olympic Pool had many historical highlights through history. The brief had been to restore what was possible and demolish the unsalvageable. The Architects added line of vision structures to depict the glory years and the old layout of WA’s first Olympic size pool. Highly controversial in cost and timeframe the project saw the vastly damaged and vandalized complex given a new lease of life. The new precinct will be open all hours and will host current era functions and community events.
The Principal sought to upgrade its aging community pool to a modern aquatic facility. This resulted in appointing leading aquatics architects Donovan Payne Architects to tender the works. After extensive assessment the project was awarded to ACorp Construction.
The Principal sought to upgrade its aging community pool to a modern aquatic facility. This resulted in appointing leading aquatics architects Donovan Payne Architects to tender the works. After extensive assessment, the project was awarded to ACorp Construction. Works included:
- Demolition
- New filtration and pipework
- Detailed civil works
- Specialised waterproofing elements
The existing 33m pool was cut back to 25m and a new family leisure pool complete with multiple water features was added. By using some of the existing pool structure, savings were made. However detailed waterproofing and extensive installation of new filtration and piping works were required to achieve today’s high compliance standards.
To complement the pool upgrade, the change rooms were substantially refurbished and upgraded to include all new tiling, fixtures and fittings and total reroofing. Externally the pool surrounds were afforded new paving and various shade sails.
This has resulted in a marked savings in running costs and more importantly significant increases in attendance.
This project was a classic Design and Construct project. The Shire of Boddington wanted a staged development to provide 760 m2 of new administration facilities within the old existing site.

ACorp engaged the services of Holton Connor Architects to provide design, documentation and contractual services for the project. Our team combined to use various external cladding features – old and new to accommodate the desired wishes of the client and complement the existing streetscape.
The end result was a clean cut and economical construction of a modern and simple styled building, which has become a statement on the main street – Reflecting a solid and Progressive Community.
