Devonport Aquatic Centre
Update me
Tell us which facilities you are most likely to use at the new Aquatic Centre!
When work on Devonport's new Indoor Aquatic Centre is completed in December 2013, Devonport will be home to one of the most comprehensive indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities equal to any in regional Australia.
The state-of-the-art complex will incorporate the current outdoor facilities, a 25 metre indoor eight lane pool, infant awareness pool, warm water pool, foyer, fitness gym, change rooms and a café/kiosk.
The $13.96 million project will be the biggest ever undertaken by Council and has taken many years of planning, submission writing and talks with Federal and State Governments to get to this point.
We're keen to find out what facilities you're most likely to use at the new Aquatic Centre and how frequently you are likely to use them.

General Manager talks about access to the outdoor pool for the 2012 summer.
"We are very pleased that the plan's costs have been kept in check and we can now look forward to the construction of another key facility that will further enhance Devonport as the leading sporting, commercial and cultural centre on the North West Coast," Devonport City Council General Manager, Ian McCallum said.
"The health and well being benefits to not only our community but to those along the North West coast will be immeasurable. To hear the excitement in the community about this venture is very reassuring because we at Council want the very best for everyone but realise that these facilities require a great deal of money both in construction and withongoing costs".
To help alleviate some of those costs and to ensure the project runs on time, Council will be forced to close the outdoor facilities for the summer of 2012/2013.
"To ensure we run on time and to make adjustments to the outdoor facility, the builders need access to all areas and unfortunately we have had to make the tough call to close the outdoor pool for the 2012 summer," Mr McCallum said.
