This much-loved facility has served the community well over the past 30 years, welcoming up to 270,000 visits annually from across our city. As such, the aquatic centre is ageing and requires some significant work.

The planned refurbishment work currently includes:

  • new roof
  • support column repairs
  • installation of a new main switchboard
  • installation of a 99kW solar system
  • new pool liner
  • separation of the kids’ pool from the main pool
  • addition of an accessible ramp
  • installation of a new water filtration system.

These upgrades are essential to ensure the facility continues to meet the needs of our community for years to come.

On 2 December 2024, the Hon Catherine King MP and the Hon Amanda Rishworth MP announced that Council was successful in our application for $5.4 million grant funding from the Federal Government.

At the 10 December 2024 Council meeting, matching funding of $5.4 million was approved, enabling the $10.8 million refurbishment project to proceed.
