Redevelopment of the popular Winchelsea Pool is progressing, with addition of a children’s splash park to be among new features.

Work is underway on the Barwon Terrace site and detailed design almost complete.

The redevelopment will include:

  • Demolition of existing pools, pump house, amenity and shade structures and concrete concourses
  • Renewal of 25-metre and leisure pools
  • Renewal of concourses, pool surrounds and drainage systems
  • Construction of a zero-depth splash park, with elements decided by public consultation
  • Construction of plant room and amenities building.

The size of the pool site will remain the same but the amenities building will be relocated to the south-east of the site to create a more central entry point and better connection with the adjoining Adventure Play Space.

Construction is scheduled for completion during the 2024-25 summer.

The existing pool reached the end of its serviceable life after having provided summer fun for families and visitors since 1963.

The redevelopment is one of several projects progressing in Winchelsea’s Barwon Terrace precinct, including upgrading of the Adventure Play Space, extension of the Barwon River loop walk and building of a new gathering space shelter.
