The Braidwood pool needs to be refurbished. Funding of $1m from the NSW Government supported Stage One of the upgrades. A development application that included both stages one and two was submitted and approved. Stage Two is not currently funded but could include works to construct a gym, plant room, and relocation or extension of the pool.

We have also received funding under the Stronger Country Communities Fund to provide disabled parking and improve access to the pool. Paths will be improved between the pool, car park and the public toilets.

Accessible path and ramp - works begin 21 October 2024

This project will improve accessibility between carpark, the pool entrance, public toilets and the park.

The work includes upgrades to footpaths, kerb and guttering, kerb ramps, and disabled car parking. During the works, the car park between the pool and the public toilets will be closed for safety reasons and construction activities.

This has been funded by the NSW Government Stronger Country Communities Fund.

Poolpod

This project will provide for a poolpod platform system including anchors, transport trolley and wheelchair for use with the systems.

This system allows people with restricted mobility to safely access the pool.

This has been funded by the NSW Government Stronger Country Communities Fund. Unfortunately we had some delays with the poolpods being constructed in the UK and arriving in Australia in late 2024.
