Cairns Aquatic Facilities Strategy survey

The provision of aquatic facilities, programs and services is extremely important for the community of Cairns. On this basis, Cairns Regional Council (Council) has identified the need to develop the Cairns Aquatic Facilities Strategy (the Strategy) and have engaged Otium Planning Group to assist. The Strategy will consider the role, impact, opportunities and implications of aquatic facilities. For the purpose of the Strategy, aquatic facilities include:

• Council-owned aquatic centres: - Babinda Pool - Smithfield Pool/ Marlin Coast Bicentennial Pool - Tobruk Memorial Pool - Gordonvale Aquatic Centre - Woree Sports and Aquatic Centre.
• School and private aquatic facilities
• Sugarworld Adventure Water Park
• Cairns Esplanade Lagoon and Muddy’s Playground
• Natural bathing reserves and patrolled beaches.

Feedback from the community is essential to identifying the future aquatic facility needs of the Cairns Region. Members of the community are invited to respond to the survey located at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5B68NPY
