THE design process for the indoor pool project at the Moorabool Aquatic and Recreation Centre (MARC) has begun.<\/p>\n
Moorabool Shire Council received $10 million from the State Government, $25 million was committed by the Australian Labor Party ahead of the 2025 Federal election, and the shire will also contribute $15 million.<\/p>\n
“This marks a major step forward in delivering a long-awaited year-round aquatic facility for the community,” mayor Cr Paul Tatchell said.<\/p>\n
“This is more than just a pool, it’s an investment in the health, wellbeing and future of our community, and we’re excited to get the ball rolling and to bring to life a facility that caters for all ages, abilities and stages of life.”<\/p>\n
The $50 million project will include an aquatic and leisure hub, indoor lap pool, learn to swim facilities, a warm water pool, family and accessible changerooms, a gymnasium, and toddler play area.<\/p>\n
“We wouldn’t be here without the contributions of other levels of government, and we thank them for their investment in Bacchus Marsh and surrounds,” Cr Tatchell said.<\/p>\n
“Through the Federal Government’s election commitment, council has been invited to apply for funding under the major and local community infrastructure program for the pool.<\/p>\n
“Applications are due in December this year. We hope to receive notification of funds sometime in the new year.”<\/p>\n
The design will be shared with the community as it progresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
