Indoor Aquatic Centre design plans progress following Council vote

Published on 05 March 2026

Concept plans for Moorabool’s long‑awaited indoor aquatic centre will move to the next stage of design following a decision at last night’s Council meeting.

Councillors voted to progress the design of the indoor aquatic centre, marking another significant milestone in delivering a year‑round aquatic facility for the community.

The indoor aquatic centre will provide a modern, inclusive space supporting health, wellbeing and recreation for residents of all ages and abilities and is expected to become a major community hub when complete.

Mayor Cr Steve Venditti-Taylor said the decision was a strong outcome for the community and reflected years of advocacy and planning.

“This is an exciting step forward for a project our community has been calling for over many years,” Cr Venditti-Taylor said.

“Progressing the design allows us to refine the facility to best meet community needs and brings us closer to delivering a high‑quality indoor aquatic centre for Moorabool.”

The Mayor acknowledged the critical role of funding partners in enabling the project to reach this stage.

“We sincerely thank the Federal Government ($25 million) and the Victorian Government ($10 milllion for their contributions to this project.

“Their support, alongside Council’s $15 million investment, demonstrates a shared commitment to improving health, wellbeing and liveability for our growing community.”

With design work continuing, Council will share updates with the community as the project progresses.
