Swimming Pool Feasibility study
Town Hall Presentation
14 August 2013
Gnowangerup Swimming Pool
What we know
• Original pool (‘mineral baths’) was built in 1934
• Rebuilt inside the original shell and converted to scheme
water in 1968
• Pool shell is now cracked, leaking and beyond repair
• The existing pool will need to be demolished
• Water treatment system is not compliant with the new
Code and requires replacement
• Pool heating system installed in 2006 is effective and can
potentially be retained

More trends and influences
• Pools are primarily used for play or lessons
• Limited lap use and almost no competition demand
• Adult use is for cooling off, fitness, or supervising children
• Grounds and BBQs are a valued feature
• Water is becoming more precious
• New facilities are mostly co-located & multifunctional
• CSRFF tied to increasing participation and
accommodation of multiple groups
• Facility needs to relate to size of catchment
So what does the community want?
What does it need?
Something close by
would be handy!
Alternatives are a
long way away.
• Katanning (85km)
• Mount Barker (116km)
• Albany (150km).
