The strategy will be built on a deep understanding of both current realitiesand future aspirations. It will consider:

• The condition and capacity of our existing facilities
• Identify emerging community needs.
• Explore exciting opportunities for redevelopment and innovation.    
• A peer review of the 2015 strategyto ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness

Community involvement and consultation

The development of the new strategy will include extensive communityengagement, including a project reference group.

This approach ensuresthat the decisions are informed by community and stakeholder input, while alsoconsidering the demand for, and the cost and feasibility of, additional aquaticfacilities in our shire.
