We're excited to announce plans to redevelop the much-loved Lavington Swim Centre with modern aquatic facilities to better serve our community's needs.
Lavington Swim Centre is approaching the end of its serviceable life, and planning is now underway to deliver a modern replacement facility that meets current and future community needs. This redevelopment aligns with AlburyCity’s Aquatics Strategy and was endorsed by Council at its meeting on 23 October 2023.
The replacement of the facility will provide inclusive, accessible, and flexible spaces for the whole community. It will support increased participation in sport and recreation, attract regional events, and improve operational efficiency. Key features will include enhanced spectator areas, family-friendly amenities, and a focus on universal design principles.
Project benefits include:

Council has endorsed Stage 3 of the Masterplan for the Lavington Swim Centre Redevelopment, following extensive community consultation. This milestone marks the transition to detailed design, led by Canvas Projects. Funding submissions will be prepared as suitable grant opportunities arise.
Once designs are finalised, a further report will be presented to Council including operational estimates and delivery options. The redevelopment will provide a long-term solution to meet community needs and support the growing demand for inclusive, accessible aquatic facilities.
