Inverell Shire Council is proud to announce that the Inverell Aquatic Centre has been honoured with the Excellence in Innovation Award at the prestigious Aquas Awards Gala, hosted by Royal Life Saving. This award is a significant recognition of the efforts invested in ensuring the aquatic facility is both safe and accessible for the community.

Royal Life Saving's Aquas Awards Gala is their premier awards ceremony, celebrating the dedication and outstanding contributions of individuals and organisations working to prevent drowning and enhance aquatic participation across NSW and ACT. In 2025, the awards expanded to acknowledge excellence across a diverse range of sectors, including Community, Government, Industry, Lifesaving Sport and Corporate fields.

The Inverell Aquatic Centre was nominated for the Excellence in Innovation Award and successfully secured this prestigious accolade. Representatives from Belgravia Leisure accepted the award on behalf of Inverell Shire Council, recognising the innovative design elements integrated into the recently constructed aquatic centre.

Council worked closely with Royal Life Saving throughout the development, construction, and accreditation phases of the Inverell Aquatic Centre, ensuring industry-leading safety standards and innovative aquatic design elements.

Belgravia Leisure’s Business Operations Manager Liz Stranix, presented the award to Inverell Shire Mayor, Cr Kate Dight at the Inverell Aquatic Centre, where it will be proudly displayed as a testament to the facility’s commitment to excellence.
