Frankston Regional Aquatic Health and Wellbeing Centre

Overview

Frankston's new pool is getting closer to reality with the release of designs for the new $46.35 million Regional Aquatic Health and Wellbeing Centre.

The plans have now been finalised by William Ross Architects and construction is scheduled to begin later this year at Samuel Sherlock Reserve in central Frankston, next to Chisholm Institute of TAFE. The new centre should open its doors mid 2014.

Thanks to the over 4000 people who signed the pool petition sent to the Federal Government to support Council's application for $15 million from the Regional Development Australia Fund.
