Upcoming closures – Heating and cooling works

Upcoming closures at PARC – 8 & 9 December
Aircon, heating and cooling works

At PARC, we’re always working to improve your comfort and experience. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be completing several important upgrades to our air circulation and climate control systems across the building.

These projects will ensure better air quality, improved comfort, and long-term reliability throughout our facility. Please find details below, including what to expect and how we’re minimising any disruption.

Chiller Replacement Project – 8 to 12 December

From Monday 8 to Friday 12 December, we’ll be replacing our main rooftop chiller unit. A crane will be onsite to lift the new units onto the roof. Because parts of the building sit within the crane’s exclusion zone, we’ll need to close those areas for the duration of the works.

CLOSED Monday 8 December 7.00am – 3.30pm

  • Warm Water Pool Hall, including spa, sauna and steam
  • Group Exercise Studio 1 – no classes will run
  • Group Exercise Studio 2 – no classes will run
  • Cycle Studio – no classes will run
  • Allied Health Suites
  • Car park part closure – There will also be impacts to parking, with areas of the carpark closed to accommodate the crane.

OPEN The Main Pool Hall, Gym and Reformer Studio will be open as normal.

All areas will be back open from 3.30pm on Monday 8 December, for the remainder of the day.

CLOSED Tuesday 9 December 7.00am – 9.00am

  • Main entrance to PARC – members and guests will be able to access the building via the Group Entry on the member carpark side of the building. Staff will be onsite to support and direct you.
  • Cafe
  • Sections of the gym floor including the stretching area and InBody Scan area. No machines will be impacted.
  • There will also be impacts to parking, with areas of the carpark closed to accommodate the crane.

All areas will be back open from 9am on Tuesday 9 December and normal operations will resume.

Thank you for your patience

We appreciate your patience as we complete these essential improvements. Once all works are finished, you’ll enjoy a more comfortable, energy-efficient environment throughout the entire centre.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Join us in going off social media for a day on 24 October. 

This Saturday, on 24 October, we are joining Unplug24, a 24-hour break from social media in solidarity with SmackTalk – an organisation founded by local Wayne Holdsworth to honour his son, Mac, and raise awareness around suicide prevention.

Unplug24 encourages us to step away from social media and reconnect offline to:
🔌 Protect mental health
🔌 Raise awareness to prevent suicide
🔌 Support vital education and awareness programs

Let’s join together and unplug from all social media for the day – at work and at home – to show our support for this important cause.

The month of October is Walktober! 🚶‍♀️

This is a great opportunity to build more movement into your day, especially coming out of the winter months, and work towards your 30-20-2! Here are five tips from our Health and Fitness Team, on how you can get more steps in this Walktober: 

🛗 Take the stairs - Skip the lift when you can. 
🚗 Park further away - Add a few hundred steps before you've even started your day. 
📞 Walk while you talk - Take phone calls or catch-ups on the move. 
🌯 Do a lap at lunchtime - Even 10 minutes counts. 
🖥️ Step on the spot - Take a minute, and get some steps in at your desk

As always, if you need any help or guidance in getting your 30-20-2, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our friendly staff members, or visit our Digital Hub for some inspiration.
