Detailed designs for stage two and stage three of the project are currently underway and will be completed by 30 June 2026.

Using the funding already secured, it is anticipated that stage two will be delivered in 2026 and 2027.

The detailed designs will give us a clearer understanding of how much the project will cost in its entirety.

Given the size and complexity of the project, we anticipate that there is a shortfall in funding to deliver stage three of the project which includes the 50-metre outdoor pool.

We are actively advocating to the Victorian Government to secure the additional funding needed to complete stage three.

We extend our thanks to the Friends of the Maryborough Outdoor Pool Precinct, who continue to collaborate with us and advocate strongly for this project.

We remain focused on delivering a facility that honours its heritage, supports long-term sustainability, and provides lasting value to our community.
