Sod turned on $60M Batemans Bay aquatic centre

The first sod has been turned on the $60 million Batemans Bay’s Aquatic, Arts and Leisure Centre, marking the start of construction works.

ADCO’s State Manager John Basilisco joined Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack, Bega MP Andrew Constance, Gilmore MP Fiona Phillips, Senator Hollie Hughes and Eurobodalla Mayor Liz Innes to celebrate the beginning of construction.

The facility will replace the already existing outdoor swimming pool with an indoor multi-pool aquatic centre, complete with four water slides, internal and external water play areas, meeting rooms, a gymnasium and a 350-seat theatre, linked by a gallery walk that will also house visitor information and a café.

The first phase of works will include the demolition of the existing pool and buildings.
