Project Summary
The iconic Newcastle Ocean Baths have been a community landmark for over a century. To ensure longevity of the facility, Daracon Group was selected to carry out a comprehensive overhaul to this much-loved piece of community infrastructure. Stage 1 of the Newcastle Ocean Baths Upgrade involved the rebuilding and restoration of the pool, promenades, and pumping system, extending the design life of the facility for a further 50 years.
As a specialist readymix concrete supply business and subsidiary of the Daracon Group, Daracrete was engaged to provide 3,400m³ of mass concrete to help rebuild the pool floor.
This project was awarded a CCF NSW Earth Award in 2024, taking out the $10 - $30M category.
