Pools and Aquatic Centres

Whether you're after fun or fitness, Gladstone Regional Council's Aquatic Centres offer a range of programs and services, from learn to swim classes to aqua therapy in Gladstone and Mount Larcom.

Gladstone Aquatic Centre Upgrade

Gladstone Aquatic Centre Rejuvenation project completed works have included electrical upgrades and investigation and minor works on the 50m pool, testing of the pool structure, minor tile and crack repairs and installation of FINA-approved starting blocks.

Works in 2021 included installation of site boundary fencing, filtration plant upgrades, Aquatic Play Park upgrades, Building Renewals included amenity upgrades and addition of a new Accessible Adult Change Room and external pool lights replacement.

Works also included Stage 1 Building Renewals, included upgrades to amenities in the 25m pool area and Stage 2 Building Renewals included upgrade to facilities and main amenities building. Improved change rooms with two new Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) accessible facilities and three new family change rooms.

Works in 2022 will include new roof structures over main amenities, new awning to the existing kiosk and front entrance upgrade. Stage 3 Building Renewals will include 25m pool upgrades, building enclosure works and upgrades to the 25m pool water heating system.

Temporary facility entrance

  • The Gladstone Aquatic Centre now has a temporary entrance set up via the northern or 25m pool access.
  • External building work, as part of Phase 2 Building Renewals, is occurring with excavation of foundations for the entry portico underway.
  • During this work, there is no access through the front facility entrance.
     

Main amenities open soon

  • Council looks forward to introducing the facility’s upgraded main amenities building, including male and female change rooms, Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) accessible facilities and family change rooms.
     

Kiosk operational

  • While building works occur, access to the kiosk will be maintained.  Please be safety conscious and follow signage directions.
     

25m pool closed for upgrades

  • Significant impacts have led to a revised completion date forecast for the end of July 2022.
  • 25m building structure is looking updated and refreshed.
  • The bulk of painting to the building structure has been completed with painting to the reverse side of walls remaining.
  • The new ceiling has been installed.
  • Structural joint repairs to the pool have commenced.
  • Unforeseen rain events in the past few weeks have impacted completion timeframes with high moisture levels impacting painting of steel. This work will continue when weather conditions are favourable.
  • Pool joint renewal - Tile removal has revealed a sound pool shell but unexpectedly revealed the breakdown of pool joints. Detailed investigation of the pool wall and floor joints has identified the need for pool joints to be renewed to make them waterproof again.
  • Timing of works impacted - Repair and waterproofing to joints requires specialised materials and sufficient curing time. Additional activities and a change to the work sequence have delayed the upgrade works.
  • Amenities in the 25m pool area will remain open for patrons, for as long as safe and practical during works. Access via the corridor between the 25m pool is maintained until further notice.
  • Patrons are encouraged to make use of the 50m pool facility. The outdoor pool features additions to provide comfort for all swimmers while the 25m pool is closed.
  • 50m pool additions

    • Additions to the 50m pool will improve mobility and access for indoor pool patrons to freely use the 50m pool in comfort, while upgrade of the 25m pool occurs.
    • Temporary roof structure: has been installed over the shallow end of the 50m pool.
    • Pool hoist: has been installed to assist rehabilitation services.
    • Pool step/ramp: upcoming installation; date to be confirmed.
    • Temporary heating for 50m pool: A temporary installation is being procured for the heating of the 50m pool.
       

    More information

    • 50m pool relining: This package of work forms part of the Stage 3 Rejuvenation project and is currently in planning and scoping phase.
    • 50m grandstand and shade sail upgrades: Currently in planning and scoping phase, scheduled to commence September 2022 to June 2023 and includes corrosion protection of steel and upgrades to shade sails.

    Gladstone Regional Council is being assisted to deliver this improved facility for the region with:
    - $2.4m State Government funding, through the 2021-24 Works for Queensland Program,
    - $1.2m State Government funding, through the COVID Works for Queensland Program, and
    - $1.6m through the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.
