THE City of Greater Geelong council has approved a concept design for an indoor second stage of the North Bellarine Aquatic Centre (NBAC) at Drysdale.<\/p>\n

An eight-lane 25-metre pool, warm water pool, a gym and other health and wellness facilities, and a caf\u00e9 will all be delivered in the next phase of the project.<\/p>\n

An officers’ report indicated the preferred design would deliver on the top priorities identified by a 12-member Community Advisory Panel<\/a> earlier this year, which the city formed<\/a> to gather input from a range of stakeholders and user groups.<\/p>\n

The city presented nine concepts to the panel in recent months and unanimously endorsed the now-approved design earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Councillors roundly celebrated the milestone at their meeting on Tuesday this week.<\/p>\n

“This has been something that’s been a dream for many, many decades on the Bellarine; to have a full aquatic centre in the location, [so] that people don’t have to go all the way into Geelong to receive full access to aquatic services,” Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan said.<\/p>\n

“The last thing we wanted to do was to have to wait 10 years before we had stage two.<\/p>\n

“We have backing by the local MPs, Alison Marchant and Libby Coker \u2013 $20 million apiece \u2013 [which] we’re incredibly incredibly grateful for.”<\/p>\n

Fellow Bellarine Ward councillor Stephanie Asher agreed: “This has been a very long time coming… it’s got essential facilities that the Bellarine wanted and deserved.”<\/p>\n

The state and federal government will each contribute $20 million to the second stage to fulfill election commitments made by their respective local MPs last year; Bellarine MP Alison Marchant<\/a> and Corangamite federal member Libby Coker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The endorsed design has an expected cost just above the contribution at $40.3 million, but the officers’ report indicated the city could trim $300,000 through design tweaks and reducing delivery timeframes.<\/p>\n

The city will not contribute to the building costs but will be responsible for its operating budget once the centre is open.<\/p>\n

Up to $1.3 million a year in operating costs is proposed to be recouped through commercial opportunities for health and fitness facilities and learn-to-swim programs.<\/p>\n

The second stage will complement the under-construction outdoor stage 1<\/a>, which is due to open later this year.<\/p>\n

The first stage includes an Olympic-sized 50m outdoor pool, change facilities, an entry pavilion and kiosk, tiered seating and landscaping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
