Dive in and have your say about the proposal for an Indoor Aquatic Centre at Moss Vale
This consultation has now concluded however you can still review associated documents and forum discussions.
Swimming pools are important recreation facilities but Southern Highlands residents have always been limited to a short swimming season because of the cool climate. Wingecarribee Shire Council has been grappling with issues around location, cost, maintenance and development of aquatic facilities for a number of years.
A Concept Plan and Business Feasibility Plan have recently been prepared and now Council is asking the community to guide the project to completion.
The opportunity to have you say will conclude on 21 November 2011.
