Upgrades underway on City of Logan’s Beenleigh Aquatic Centre
City of Logan has advised that works are now underway on the $23.1 million Beenleigh Aquatic Centre upgrade, south east of Brisbane.
The 50-metre, eight-lane swimming pool, is expected to open in mid-2025 and replaces the current thirty-three-yard pool which opened in 1964.
As well as being a beacon for local swimming enthusiasts, the new Olympic-sized pool will enable Logan to support more training, competitions and community sporting events.
Representatives from the Australian and Queensland Governments and the Logan City Council met in Beenleigh today to celebrate the milestone.
The upgrades also include an expanded children’s water play area, shaded seating areas, modern changeroom facilities, a kiosk, and accessible and family friendly amenities.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the Beenleigh Aquatic Centre will feature solar panelling to generate clean energy, enable storm water harvesting and use of recycled materials.
The project is funded through the $285.8 million SEQ Liveability Fund, one of 29 commitments being delivered under the SEQ City Deal, with the Logan City Council investing $13.4 million alongside contributions from the Australian and Queensland governments of $4.85 million each.
The indoor pool remains open to the public while works are completed and existing programs will continue uninterrupted.
Queensland Minister for State Development and Infrastructure Grace Grace noted “The new Beenleigh Aquatic Centre is a great example of a project that will help create a more liveable, sustainable and healthy community.
“The Beenleigh Aquatic Centre will support the region’s booming population and complement the work being done to deliver a successful Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.’’
Mayor of Logan City Jon Raven advised “It will be a modern venue to take our young and fast-growing city into the future as we head towards the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“Council is proud to deliver community infrastructure that turns our suburbs into connected neighbourhoods especially as our population grows.
“Last week we announced the nine court Logan Indoor Sports Centre for Logan Central, so we are well and truly starting our warm-up run for sporting success as the Olympics get closer.”
