The Phillip Island Aquatic Centre Fund Committee has commissioned several Feasibility Studies that have all demonstrated huge community support for the construction of an aquatic centre on the island.
However, our membership has been shrinking. We are embarking on a membership drive, aiming to have 2000 members of the fund by October 2013. A strong membership base is evidence of community support and this is an essential key to access funding opportunities.
Your committee has been working in the background for 17 years now. We have a lease on a site at the Adventure Resort. We have also put our hand up for the Recreational Land in Cowes
recently acquired by the Bass Coast Shire Council. A third site is also a possibility.
We have been meeting regularly with Councillors and Council officers to identify how we can work with all three levels of government to achieve our aim.
The committee has developed a model for a 25 metre pool with hydrotherapy facilities, based on world’s best practice for pool construction and energy efficient operating techniques and partnerships with high-tech organisations have been established. Please visit our website for more
information.
Although funding sources in the near future are not evident, the committee has to be as ready as possible to capitalise on any opportunities that may arise.
We need you to show your support through your membership.
