Thank you for your interest in this project. This consultation has now concluded.

Water play concept

The Port Macquarie Aquatic Facility (Stages 1 & 2) Development Application for the Macquarie Park site is now on public exhibition until 23 April 2024.

Key features of the design include: 50-metre outdoor pool; 25-metre pool with transparent roof; 20-metre indoor pool; gym; amenities; kiosk, splash pad and slide, and 170 parking spaces. View the concept renders.

The design of this recreational facility follows comprehensive community and key stakeholder engagement over several years.

The DA process is about ensuring that the design complies with planning regulations, zoning, and environmental standards. It is not about the proposed layout and facility inclusions.

The estimated $67 million project remains unfunded at this stage. The DA will be determined by an independent body that considers the outcome of Council-owned developments with a value of more than $5 million.
