PRELIMINARY works have begun on the Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre, with the site being prepared and a new car park being constructed.<\/p>\n

Fencing has been set up on the grassed area between the Wurdi Baierr Stadium car park and the Surf Coast Highway to create the new car park.<\/p>\n

Construction vehicles are accessing the site from College Lane under traffic management.<\/p>\n

People can still access Wurdi Baierr Stadium, the outdoor sport and recreation facilities at Banyul Warri Fields and Grant Pavilion as normal.<\/p>\n

The sealed and gravel car park at both sites will operate as usual.<\/p>\n

Preliminary works are expected to continue into early 2025, before main construction kicks off in February 2025.<\/p>\n

The Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre will support health, wellbeing and water safety for the Surf Coast community.<\/p>\n

The new centre will connect with Wurdi Baierr Stadium and become its new primary entry point.<\/p>\n

Kane Construction will complete stage one construction of the centre.<\/p>\n

Stage one includes a 25-metre indoor pool for lap\/squad swimming, a warm water indoor pool for exercise, hydrotherapy and leisure, gym and programs spaces, allied health suites and a caf\u00e9 and supporting amenities.<\/p>\n

The Surf Coast Shire council will update the community on impacts during construction.<\/p>\n
