Harold Holt swim centre showing outdoor pool

Council has adopted a masterplan for the Harold Holt Swim Centre that will deliver restoration and improvement works to this popular facility over a number of years.

The implementation of the masterplan will occur over several stages and these works, together with an ongoing maintenance program, will ensure the facility continues to meet the requirements and expectations of visitors to the centre.


Current works

In 2024, we're upgrading the indoor change rooms, to deliver contemporary facilities that support our commitment to building and maintaining quality community assets.

The change rooms, that have come to the end of their useful life, will be fully upgraded with current fixtures and fittings removed and a full refit completed.

The works will be completed in stages to maintain the operation of the sauna and spa for as long as practical.

We recognise works of this nature will cause some inconvenience. Every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
