Braidwood pool

The Braidwood pool needs to be refurbished as it is well beyond the expected life cycle. We have received grant funding of $1m will assist with Stage one of the upgrades. A development application for stages one and two have been submitted and approved.

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

Accessible path and ramp

The path would improve accessibility between carpark, the pool entrance, public toilets and park. There will also be an addition of disabled parking in the carpark.

Survey has been completed however we have had some delays for the required design work.

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.
