Exactly where will the new swim centre be built?
The learn to swim pool will likely be housed in an extension off the current facility. Staff are currently undertaking early site planning and investigations to determine the most suitable location.
Will the existing pool shut to cater for construction?
While there may be some short-term closures for specific activities, these will be communicated to the public well in advance. Council will work to ensure disruptions to the existing centre remain at a minimum during the construction phase. To stay up to date, head to swim.lakemac.com.au.
What ages will the learn to swim pool cater to?
While the design of the centre is still being finalised, it's hoped to be very similar to Charlestown's learn to swim pool which caters to children from six months of age upwards.
Will the upgrades include a splash-pad?
While the investigations and concept planning will include a location for a splash pad, Council will have to seek additional funding to be able to build the feature in the future.
