DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE l SWIMMING
■ Pontypridd Lido Pontypridd, UK Opening: 2015
Work has started on the £6.3m (US$10.6m, €7.9m) transformation of a derelict lido in Pontypridd, Wales, which will be transformed into a modern swimming facility. The Grade-II listed lido was origi-
nally built in 1927 and was forced to close in 1991 after it fell into a state of disrepair. And now, more than 20 years later it will be given new life, with more tens of thousands of visitors predicted annually. The new outdoor facility will be
open around four to fi ve months of the year and will house three heated pools, changing blocks and a new café. There will also be a new play area. The project is receiving £3m (US$5m, €3.7m) in funding through the Welsh government, £2.3m from the Heritage Lottery Fund, £900,000 (US$1.5m, €1.1m)from Rhondda Cynon Taf council, and £100,000 ( from Welsh heritage body Cadw. The work is due to be completed in Q3 2015.

■ Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre
Mandurah, Australia Opening: TBC
Attracting more than 650,000 visitors per year, the ageing Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre (MARC) will receive a complete redevelopment costing AUS$36m (US$33.5m, €25m, £19.8m). Construction
work began in early 2014 and will provide an integrated sporting, aquatic and recreational facility. The redevelopment will be completed in
two stages. Stage one will include MARC’s aquatic component – the building of a new 50m outdoor pool and the refurbishment of the existing 25m indoor pool – while stage two will focus on the sports centre. The City of Mandurah council, which owns the pool, has been working with Donovan Payne Architects on the project. Western Australia-based Perkins has been awarded the construction contract for the project. The new 50m pool will be used for
regional and national competitions as well as the general public and local swimming clubs. Details:
