Aquatic, Health & Wellbeing Centre

George Town Council has received funding to design and construct a new aquatic, health and wellbeing centre. Constructed at the site of the existing George Town Pool, the new facility will include offerings to enable year-round access to swimming facilities for lap swimming, learn to swim programs, and warm water therapy, and include health and wellbeing services such as a gym, group fitness studios, and allied health suites. The design will consider recommendations from the George Town Sport and Recreation Strategy (adopted March 2021) which collated feedback received from extensive engagement with the George Town Community.
