A $26-million geothermal pool has opened alongside the beach in the Perth suburb of Scarborough, the first in the state to be given a six-star green rating for the efficiency of its design.
The pool, which maintains a balmy 26-28 degrees Celsius, taps into the Yarragadee aquifer which is naturally heated, so it does not require conventional gas boilers.
The eco-friendly system offsets about 1,800 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
