Update for Helensburgh Pool improvements

We’re pleased to share that upgrades to the Helensburgh Pool are scheduled to begin in the coming months. These enhancements have been shaped by feedback from our community.

The project includes:

• refurbishment of the 25m and toddlers’ pools including structural remediation, resealing the construction joints, a full repaint and retiling
• complete refurbishment of the male and female amenities including new partitions and fixtures
• construction of a new changing places toilet with 24/7 access and other accessibility upgrades
• construction of a new accessible toilet and parking spaces
• resurfacing the pool concourse
• installation of new handrails, seating, shade and bike racks
• improvements to pool concourse lighting
• the existing shade structure will be painted, and new shade cloth will be installed
• refurbishing the existing pool plant room
• replacing the ageing pool plant and equipment

We’re very grateful to those from the community who took the time to share their thoughts on the pool, it’s future and the steps we could take to improve it. While this budget does not allow for a new pool, we are able to deliver a significant number of upgrades and improvements that respond to the community feedback we’ve gathered about this project.

The improvement works are scheduled to begin this winter and continue through to the end of December.
