Beenleigh Gets a Splash of Excitement

Exciting news for Beenleigh residents! Cr Karen Murphy has announced the long-awaited upgrade to the Beenleigh Aquatic Centre, promising a modern facility with something for everyone. This project, championed by Cr. Murphy and Mayor Jon Raven, will serve the growing community of over 50,000 residents and is sure to become a vibrant hub for aquatic activities and social gatherings.

The existing Beenleigh Pool has faithfully served the community for nearly 60 years, but this upgrade marks a new era for aquatic recreation in Beenleigh. Construction has already begun on a brand-new facility boasting an impressive list of features:

• A State-of-the-Art 50-Meter Pool: This 8-lane heated outdoor pool will be a dream come true for competitive swimmers, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a refreshing lap swim.
• Expanded Water Play Area: Let the little ones splash and giggle in a dedicated zone designed for fun and exploration.
• Modern and Accessible Facilities: Convenience and inclusivity are key. Upgraded changerooms will cater to all users, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
• Bookable Multipurpose Rooms: Planning a birthday party or special event? You can reserve these new rooms, perfect for creating lasting memories.
• Shaded Outdoor Seating: Relax and soak up the sunshine while watching the swimmers enjoy the pool. Ample shade ensures comfort for spectators and families.
• Convenient Kiosk: No need to pack a picnic! A kiosk will be available for on-site refreshments, making your visit to the pool even more enjoyable.

Cr. Murphy emphasizes the importance of this project: "The Beenleigh pool had served the local community well for almost 60 years... I'm looking forward to seeing that connection continue at this spacious new facility, which will cater to everyone."

The new Beenleigh Aquatic Centre goes beyond just swimming. It's a space designed for families, fitness enthusiasts, and the entire community to connect and have fun. The project also acknowledges the vital role the Beenleigh Brass Band plays in the community. They will have a dedicated space within the new facility, including a storeroom, multipurpose room, and access to the stage – ensuring their music continues to resonate in Beenleigh for years to come.

Similarly, local swimming clubs will also have a dedicated space for their needs.

The project is expected to be completed and the pool opened sometime in 2025. To stay updated on the progress and construction timeline, you can visit the dedicated project webpage provided by Logan Leisure Centres: https://loganleisurecentres.com.au/beenleigh-aquatic-centre-upgrade
