Lavington Swim Centre Redevelopment – What’s Next

Thanks to everyone who had their say on the future of Lavington Swim Centre.

Following strong community input and support, Council has endorsed Stage 3 of the proposed Masterplan as the preferred design for the redevelopment. This decision was guided by over 290 submissions during our recent engagement period.

Stage 3 received the highest level of community support and offers a long-term solution to replace the existing facility, which is nearing the end of its serviceable life.

What’s included in Stage 3:

  • A new 10-lane, 50-metre pool
  • A dedicated 35-metre water polo pool
  • A 25-metre utility pool
  • A new splash pad
  • A pool building with admin, kiosk, change rooms and amenities
  • A flexible social room for clubs and community use

Next steps:

  • Detailed design work is now underway with Canvas Projects.
  • Council will begin preparing funding submissions as suitable grant programs become available.
  • A further report will be presented to Council once the detailed design is complete, including operational cost estimates and options to proceed under a maximum-price contract.

This upgrade will deliver modern, inclusive and accessible facilities for the whole community – supporting local sport, recreation, wellbeing and regional events.
