Lavington Swim Centre Redevelopment

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.

About this project

Lavington Swim Centre is at the end of its useful life and a replacement of the facility is required to ensure the ongoing operation of the facility. The replacement of this facility is in line with AlburyCity's Aquatics Strategy and was endorsed by a Council resolution from the 23 October 2023 Council meeting.

The Lavington Swim Centre replacement will deliver increased active participation opportunities with a gender-equal and accessible design including family friendly features, enhanced spectator capacity and multipurpose community meeting. Some specific outcomes of the project include:

  • Generate increased physical activity.
  • Meet the needs and demands of the local and regional communities.
  • Enhance our community inclusiveness through improved accessibility and facilities for older adults, females, people with disabilities and families.
  • Improved potential to attract regional and state sports events.
  • Increase the economic benefits to the city and the region as a result of the current and additional event content to the facility.
  • Comply with relevant sporting guidelines and building codes.
  • Improved, safer and more efficient facility operations for staff and tenant user groups.
