ARC Benchmarking Projects
LIWA and Royal Life Saving WA work with industry to collect and share information that helps aquatic, recreation and leisure facilities understand their operations and make informed decisions.
The ARC benchmarking projects cover two related areas: how facilities perform and how their fees and charges compare. Explore the projects below to find out what information is collected and how it can support your facility.
ARC Operational Benchmarking - Group 1 Facilities
The ARC Operational Benchmarking Project helps Group 1 aquatic and recreation centres compare operational and financial performance with other participating facilities. It covers areas such as facility assets, usage, finances, workforce, utilities and safety.
The results can help facilities track performance, support planning and business cases, and provide evidence for industry advocacy. Individual facility data is managed confidentially and is not published without approval.

ARC Fees and Charges Benchmarking - All Facilities
The ARC Fees and Charges Project brings together information about fees, charges and related operating details from aquatic, recreation and leisure facilities across Western Australia.
The shared information can help facility managers compare pricing, review fee structures, inform business planning and understand sector-wide trends. See the project page for details about participation and how the collected information is shared.

The two projects cover different aspects of facility performance: operational benchmarking focuses on how facilities run, while fees and charges benchmarking focuses on what they charge
