Activities Since Incorporation
Listed below are some of the successful programs undertaken by the members of the Phillip Island Aquatic Centre Fund Inc.
Note: You will notice an apparent slackening in the amount of work carried out by our volunteers over time. This does not reflect a lessening of interest in the project but is indicative of the difficulties that have arisen with Public Liability and the costs associated with it.
