Katoomba Sports and Aquatic Centre - outdoor pools
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
We are excited to announce some improvements to the outdoor pools at the Katoomba Sports and Aquatic Centre, which have been made possible with funding from the Western Parkland City Liveability Program.*
We have $2.6 million to put towards design and construction of a new inclusive learn to swim pool at the centre, which will also include
an accessible pathway to the new pool
a family friendly accessible toilet and change facilities
improvements to shade cover.
$2.6 million sounds like a lot, but building safe and accessible pools is very expensive so this upgrade will be limited in what we can do. Council will continue to look for other funding opportunities, to fund future upgrades.

*This project will be funded under the Western Parkland City Liveability Program, which is part of the Western Sydney City Deal (WSCD). The WSCD is a 20 year-agreement between Australian and NSW governments, and the eight local Councils of the Western Parkland City.

It's early days and we are currently doing investigative works onsite at the pool. This will help us to work out the way forward and guide the concept designs which we will show you later in the year. We expect construction to get underway in the second half of 2021 but to stay informed of the progress and have the most up to date information, simply click on the subscribe button to the right of the screen.

We are excited about the improvements towards the Katoomba outdoor pool area. You told us how important this space is to you when we undertook community consultation in 2018. We now have $2.6 million to put towards design and construction of a new inclusive learn to swim pool which will include an accessible pathway down to the new pool.
To make your time at the pool easy and convenient, there will be family friendly accessible toilet and change facilities located close by.
We will also look at how we can improve shade cover for everyone given how busy it is over the summer period.
