Gnowangerup Swimming Pool
What we know
• Original pool (‘mineral baths’) was built in 1934• Rebuilt inside the original shell and converted to scheme
water in 1968
• Pool shell is now cracked, leaking and beyond repair
• The existing pool will need to be demolished• Water treatment system is not compliant with the new
Code and requires replacement• Pool heating system installed in 2006 is effective and can
potentially be retained

More trends and influences
• Pools are primarily used for play or lessons
• Limited lap use and almost no competition demand
• Adult use is for cooling off, fitness, or supervising children
• Grounds and BBQs are a valued feature
• Water is becoming more precious
• New facilities are mostly co-located & multifunctional
• CSRFF tied to increasing participation and accommodation of multiple groups
• Facility needs to relate to size of catchment
So what does the community want?What does it need?
