Holding Redlich advises on $57 million Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre

National law firm Holding Redlich has acted for Latrobe City Council in accepting a tender from the YMCA to operate the $57 million Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre (GRAC).

The GRAC is a significant development for Latrobe City, set to provide industry leading programs to the community and create an additional 100 jobs once open, scheduled for early 2021.

The Holding Redlich team was led by partner Scott Schlink (Construction and Infrastructure), who applauded Latrobe City Council and YMCA’s ability to efficiently negotiate a facility management deal with a comprehensive risk and value sharing model, in the current climate.
