Council is developing a new region-wide Aquatic Strategy that will set out how we approach aquatic facility planning, management and investment in the years ahead.

Whether you're a regular at your local public pool, haven't ever been, or fall somewhere in the middle— we need your help to get this new strategy right.


What we want to know

  • How the community currently uses aquatic facilities and services
  • How many people participate or would like to participate in recreation, fitness, learn-to-swim, sport and community wellbeing activities at our aquatic facilities
  • What it's like for different kinds of people to access and use our pools and aquatic facilities
  • How well existing facilities are meeting community needs and expectations

Your feedback will help Council understand what's working well, where there's room for improvement and what we should be prioritising.

'A proper long-term aquatic strategy means the decisions we make today, the plans we make for the future, and the discussions we have along the way are grounded in the reality of what our community wants and what Council can afford to provide,' said Mayor Chris Hanna, Snowy Monaro Regional Council.
