However, the federal funding on offer meant the shire dropped its previous plan for a 25-metre pool, as all options in the study will include \u201ca 50-metre pool suitable for swimming in all seasons\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>JANUARY 30: CAMPAIGNERS for a pool in Torquay said the Surf Coast Shire council was wasting time and money on a fifth feasibility study into the facility, and there were better uses for the $50,000 in spending. At their January 21 meeting, councillors resolved to carry out the study into an aquatic and health centre with a cost of up to $30 million and with all options to include a 50-metre pool.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47539\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47539\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-47539\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Untitled-design-23-2-1024x538.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Untitled-design-23-2-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Untitled-design-23-2-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Untitled-design-23-2-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Untitled-design-23-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hundreds of locals took to Torquay Front Beach on February 23 for the Festival of Colours, also known as Holi.
