Bundaberg Aquatic Centre

The Bundaberg Regional Aquatic facility aims to deliver a year-round, modern facility for fitness, education, therapy and recreation users.

The Bundaberg Regional Aquatic Facility will be co-located with the Bundaberg Multiplex, which includes a large modern conference centre and the Bundaberg PCYC. This will leverage previous investments and create a defined, branded high performance-based precinct.

A new, FINA standard, covered, 50m, heated competition pool will support regional and state level events and training camps. Additional indoor heated pools and multi-purpose rooms will be available for fitness, teaching and therapy programs, creating a facility able to offer a range of comprehensive health and fitness services.

Council has elected to deliver the project in a single stage over approximately 3 financial years.

The scope includes:
• A covered FINA standard, 10 lane, 50m heated swimming pool including equitable access
• Indoor 8 lane 25m heated swimming pool, including equitable access
• Indoor heated program pool for learn to swim and health programs, which also includes equitable access
• Equitable access features, including lifts/hoists, ramps and adult accessible change rooms
