COCKBURN ARC has won its 15th award since opening its doors in May 2017.
The $109m aquatic and recreation centre won the 2018/19 Australian Institute of Australia (WA) PRINTSYNC Pinnacle Award for Marketing Excellence at a gala event on March 22.
City of Cockburn chief executive Stephen Cain said the award recognised the ARC’s brand development both before and after it’s opening, including the provocative SunSmart campaign with floor stickers that read “It’s not call Cockburn for nothing”.
“Good ideas only become great ideas by giving the flexibility to good people to make them great,” he said on accepting the award.
