Inverell Aquatic Centre opens to the local community

After months of anticipation, the new multi-million dollar Inverell Aquatic Centre has officially opened its doors to the public from 27 February, 2025.

The venue was officially granted World Aquatics Accreditation (formally FINA) last week, making it the only Aquatic Centre in the north of the state to hold this prestigious title.

Mayor of Inverell Shire Council, Cr Kate Dight says, “This project stands as the most significant infrastructure development, in dollar terms, ever undertaken by Inverell Shire Council. Years of planning and community consultation were dedicated to designing a facility that will serve the region’s needs for generations. Council takes great pride in seeing the Inverell Aquatic Centre come to life, close to forecast time and well within funding allocation”.

Inverell Aquatic Centre features an 8 lane indoor/outdoor pool (50m in summer & 25m heated in winter), a 20m warm water program pool with movable floor for all abilities access, a spectacular splashpad, toddlers pool, café, a large multi-purpose room, training rooms and a comprehensive range of aquatic and exercise classes.

Venue Manager, Victoria Plain is excited to introduce the community to the GOswim water safety and swimming lesson program saying, “I can’t wait to see students swimming at Inverell Aquatic Centre. We haven’t had a pool in so long, I know our facilities will be integral to teaching students lifelong swimming and water safety skills.”

Inverell Aquatic Centre are conducting in person tours which can be booked via the Active World App.
