Demolition of the old structure and earth works were completed late last year, with Inverell Shire Council engaging architects the Facility Design Group and builder Hines Constructions to undertake the work.
Earlier this year, local member Adam Marshall inspected the site and went on to advise “this massive project will see a new Inverell Aquatic Centre rise from the ground crowned the premier competitive swimming facility in country NSW.
“It will provide fun and recreation for future generations of locals and visitors, whatever their age and swimming ability.”
Marshall added that “the facilities will be state-of-the-art and ensure ease of use for all ranges of mobility.
“This project will ensure Inverell Aquatic Centre can continue delivering a high-quality training and competition venue for another 50 years.”
The total project is valued at $24.98 million with the NSW Government contributing $6.1 million.
Inverell Shire Council has entered into contract with Belgravia Leisure, who will commence operation of Ashford Swimming Pool and the Inverell Aquatic Centre as facility managers.
Ashford Swimming Pool opened to the public for the season on Tuesday 1st October.
