About Cockburn ARC
Cockburn ARC is the City of Cockburn's leading-edge recreation and aquatic centre, unlike anything else in Perth. Serving hundreds of thousands of residents across Perth’s southern suburbs, the facility welcomes around 1.4 million visitors each year.
The centre features nine water areas, a six-court indoor stadium, three group fitness studios and a 1,500sqm gym. As a major community asset, Cockburn ARC relied on its website as a primary communication channel for members, casual visitors and the wider community.
The challenge
We built the previous Cockburn ARC website in 2017 on Kentico 10, which reached end of life in recent years. While the client team was comfortable using Kentico CMS, the unsupported platform created a clear need to rebuild the site due to the security risk.
The team at Cockburn ARC needed a future-ready website that met government accessibility standards, allowed the marketing and communications team to manage content independently and efficiently, and supported integrations with the City’s other software including Perfect Gym.
