Moorabool Shire Council has renewed its calls for a funding commitment from the Federal Government on an indoor pool for Moorabool, with $15 million required to build the facility.<\/p>\n

A $15 million commitment from Council for Stage 3 of the Moorabool Aquatic and Recreation Centre (MARC) was complemented by a $10 million funding announcement from the State Government on 4 May \u2013 but Council needs the Federal Government to chip in too.<\/p>\n
