Winchelsea Pool to make a splash

 

Winchelsea’s new pool is on schedule to make a splash next summer, with redevelopment of the much-loved community asset well underway.

New 25-metre and leisure pools have taken shape on the Barwon Terrace site and construction is continuing.

A summer opening date is still to be determined.

The redevelopment includes addition of a zero-depth splash park which will provide plenty of fun for youngsters, and building of a pavilion and entry point at the south-east end of the site providing better connection with adjoining recreation spaces and facilities.

The former pool was decommissioned in March having reached the end of its serviceable life after 60 years, and responses from almost 300 people have shaped redevelopment designs.

Contractors salvaged almost 96 per cent of materials from demolition of the previous pools, surroundings and buildings – totalling more than 817 tonnes – for recycled use offsite.
