Dunedin City Council has released interior images of the new Mosgiel Pool to give residents an idea of what it will look like.

The new facility will have four water spaces (lap, learners, toddlers, and hydrotherapy) and a spa pool and will be fully accessible. The car park will include e-vehicle and e-bike charging stations. The construction team are also working with Aukaha on opportunities to weave cultural elements into the design and look of the building.

Members of the construction team recently met with the Taieri Community Facilities Trust and the Mosgiel-Taieri Community Board to give them an update on the project with letters having also gone to residents who live close to the new facility.

Construction is set to begin in June/July and be ready to open later in 2022.

The DCC’s priorities during construction will be safety and minimising disturbance to surrounding residents.

The DCC Acting General Manager City Services Robert West advises “we will be working with the community during the construction period to ensure they receive regular information on how the project is progressing.”

Road changes are also required for Gordon Road/State Highway 87 in Mosgiel as part of the project.

The DCC has been working with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, which is responsible for state highways, on the best intersection design to get people safely to and from the new facility in Mosgiel Memorial Park.
