Big Splash 2 Catchpole Street, Macquarie, ACT 2614

On behalf of the Mortgagee in Possession, Colliers is pleased to offer “Big Splash”, 2 Catchpole Street, Macquarie for sale via Expression of Interest. Presented as a highly unique investment opportunity, ‘Big Splash’ offers an iconic recreational asset located in the heart of Canberra’s tightly held Belconnen region.

Operating on the site since the 1960s*, Big Splash has long been a cultural and community landmark, recognised by generations of Canberra residents. Opportunities to acquire assets of this scale, profile and historical significance within the ACT are exceedingly scarce.

The property occupies a substantial 13,028m² site, presenting a compelling landholding. Zoned PRZ2 - Restricted Access Recreation, the crown lease purpose clause permits the facility to be used as an aquatic and indoor sports and recreation centre, as well as an unlicensed family restaurant.

The facility ceased operations in 2024 and has since experienced vandalism, presenting a value add and repositioning opportunity for investors and owner operators seeking to revitalise a well known asset and reintroduce a major recreational offering to the Canberra market.

Positioned immediately adjacent to Jamison Plaza, the site benefits from excellent surrounding amenity and accessibility. It is strategically located just 2.5km from Westfield Belconnen, one of Canberra’s largest retail and commercial hubs, 3.3km from the University of Canberra, and within an established residential catchment in Canberra’s north.

This central Belconnen location supports strong demand fundamentals and reinforces the long term strategic significance of the asset. 2 Catchpole Street, Macquarie is offered with vacant possession, providing purchasers with maximum flexibility to execute their vision for the site.

The property is for sale by Expression of Interest, closing 3pm Wednesday 22nd July 2026.
