Western Regional Planning Panel
From Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of the Statement of Environmental Effects:
Development Application (DA) for the construction of new buildings and associated works for the new Corowa Aquatic Centre.
The land to which the proposal relates to has historically been used as an outdoor swim centre, with this use having ceased in recent years. The old pool was considered unsustainable due to its ongoing maintenance requirements and it being restricted to seasonal usage. The existing structures have since been decommissioned and approved for demolition.
Since the decommissioning, the centre has become dilapidated and unutilised, leaving the local population of Corowa without access to a public swimming pool. The proposal is to reinstate the subject land with a new aquatic centre to replace the old facility and provide Corowa with access to new contemporary indoor and outdoor pools for sport and leisure during all seasons.
