Campaspe Shire invites public input on aquatic facilities strategy

Campaspe Shire Council is inviting community input to its aquatic and wet play strategy.

Looking to guide the creation of a sustainable and accessible aquatic service that meets community needs for the next 20 years, the strategy is aimed at enhancing the community’s access to aquatic facilities and promoting a healthy, active lifestyle.

It is being produced in response to the evolving needs of the community and the challenges faced by existing aquatic facilities.

Campaspe Shire operates seven aquatic facilities, including the indoor Echuca War Memorial Aquatic Centre and six outdoor pools located in Kyabram, Rushworth, Lockington, Tongala, Colbinabbin and Stanhope.

The Rochester pool was decommissioned in 2022 due to flood damage and the facility reaching the end of its life expectancy.

Planning for a new aquatic facility in Rochester has started, with extensive community consultation completed.

Community feedback gathered during the recent consultation for the Jaycee Park masterplan in Kyabram will also be incorporated.

Community members can take part by completing an online survey and attending one of the facilitated drop-in sessions.

The consultation period is open until 22nd August.
