A detailed design of our new Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre in Torquay is nearing completion.

Plans are scheduled to be presented for consideration at a Special Council Meeting on 8 August.

If Council approves the detailed design, construction tenders will be called, aiming for a start by April 2024. Completion is forecast for early 2026.

Council resolved on the scope and budget for the project at its February 2023 meeting, with the centre to include an indoor 25-metre pool, one 20x10-metre indoor warm water program pool, allied health suites, program spaces, gym, café and supporting amenities.

Schematic design was completed in early June with input from the project Community Reference Group.

The centre will adjoin Wurdi Baierr Stadium alongside Banyul-Warri Fields in Torquay north, supporting our Council Plan ambition to provide our community with social infrastructure supporting healthy lives.
