About the project
Toowoomba Regional Council is upgrading the almost 60-year-old community facility. We know the current model was the best type of facility for the community at that time, but we need to make sure we get it right for this generation and future generations.
What does the next 60 years look like for the Millmerran Aquatic Centre?
Council is eager to find out how the facility is currently being used what the what the Millmerran community and surrounding districts are looking for in a new facility. Built in the 1960s, the current pool shell, expansion joints, plumbing, drainage and pipes have been assessed by an independent engineer as having reached the end of their useable lifecycle
New consultation phase
In mid-2020, Council announced it would be rebuilding the Millmerran Aquatic Centre, however the plans to refurbish the centre were reviewed in late-2020.
After seeking tenders for the refurbishment of the 50-metre pool and changerooms, it had become obvious that more work was needed on the facility than had previously been anticipated.
Council will be re-opening the centre on 11 Novemberfor the summer season while we gather further feedback from the community.
Have your say...
The community was invited to provide feedback on the future of the Millmerran Aquatic Centre from 9 November to 11 December 2020.
Thank you to everyone who completed a survey or provided feedback in person.
We're now reviewing this feedback and will share consultation findings in early 2021.
Further information
As the project progresses, Council will continue to provide updates. If you have any further queries about this project, please contact Council on 131 872 quoting ‘Millmerran Aquatic Centre’ .
