The City of Greater Geelong has announced the 1^st November as the official opening date of the new North Bellarine Aquatic Centre.

Four days later, the centre will host a free open day, where everyone will have an opportunity to enjoy the state-of-the-art facility.

Stage one of the centre was supported by $10 million from the Federal Government and $5.5 million from the city.

Designs for stage two, featuring indoor facilities, have been approved following $20 million each in funding commitments from the state and federal governments.

When it opens, the North Bellarine Aquatic Centre will feature:

An eight-lane 50-metre pool
All abilities change facilities
Kiosk with outdoor seating
Shaded tiered seating and landscaped lawn areas
Parking for 60 cars and electric vehicle charging, and
Reciprocal access for all Swim Sport & Leisure members.

Geelong Mayor Trent Sullivan said he was delighted at the imminent opening of the new facility and shared “This is an eagerly anticipated opening as residents of the North Bellarine communities have been looking forward to an aquatic centre like this for some time.

“I thank the federal government for the funding of the first stage and both levels of government, state and federal, for their support of the upcoming stage two developments.

“I also encourage everyone to come along to the free event on the Sunday; it’ll be a great opportunity to get together and celebrate this wonderful facility as a community.
