Donnybrook Recreation Centre recognised among WA's leading facilities
Recently, the Donnybrook Recreation Centre (DRC) was nominated for the LIWA Regional Facility of the Year Award, with final results to be announced at the 2026 WA Aquatic & Recreation Conference and Industry Awards in Perth.
DRC representatives attended the event, and while the award was ultimately presented to Karratha Leisureplex, the nomination itself is a significant achievement and reflects the hard work, dedication and professionalism of our staff in delivering quality facilities, programs and services to the community.
Our team also participated in a range of professional development sessions throughout the conference. This provided valuable opportunities to learn about current and emerging trends in the recreation and leisure industry, hear from respected speakers, and connect with professionals from across Western Australia. The knowledge and insights gained will help staff continue to enhance the services, programs and facilities offered not only at the DRC, but through our community services into the future.
We are incredibly proud of our DRC team, and extend our gratitude to the sporting clubs, user groups, volunteers and community members whose ongoing support contributes to the Centre's success. While the award wasn't secured this year, being recognised among Western Australia's leading regional recreation facilities is an achievement our whole community can be proud of.
Congratulations to Karratha Leisureplex on being named Regional Facility of the Year, and thank you to everyone who helped make this nomination possible!
