Glenorchy City Council is proud to announce that the redevelopment of the Glenorchy War Memorial Pool has reached a significant milestone, with construction now 50 per cent complete.
This milestone marks an important step towards resolving the safety issues that closed the pool, whilst also making significant accessibility and amenity improvements.
Glenorchy Mayor Sue Hickey said reaching the halfway point is an exciting moment for the community.
“The Glenorchy War Memorial Pool is more than just a swimming pool — it’s part of our city’s story.
“Seeing the redevelopment reach 50 per cent completion is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the strong progress being made on site.
“This project is about investing in the health, safety and future of our community.”
The redevelopment is being delivered by Hutchinson Builders, who have been working closely with Council to ensure the project remains on track and maintains the highest standards of safety and quality.
Major works are now well advanced, with significant progress across the pool shell, access ramp into the main pool, changeroom/amenities building, plant room and supporting infrastructure, including preparation for the installation of the “Changing Places” accessible change facility.
Once complete, the upgraded pool will feature improved accessibility, improved amenities and enhanced sustainability measures including a new solar boosted heating system.
“The redevelopment reflects Council’s commitment to delivering infrastructure that makes lives better for residents of all ages and abilities,” Mayor Hickey said.
“Thank you to the community for your continued patience and support while this important project progresses.
“We look forward to sharing further updates as we move toward completion and reopening — and welcoming everyone back to a revitalised Glenorchy War Memorial Pool to swim, exercise and socialise.”
