The newly upgraded Kawana Aquatic Centre is set to delight swimmers on the Sunshine Coast, with a modernised facility and expanded car parking now open.
With more than 200,000 visitors using the centre annually, the upgrade is a welcome boost for the region.
Supported by $938,000 from the Albanese Government, the improvements are part of Sunshine Coast Council’s $14 million investment to enhance the centre’s capacity as a significant sporting and wellness facility.
A new 20-metre, five-lane enclosed pool and new changerooms were delivered in the first stage in 2024.
New public amenities, offices, a cafe, expanded picnic area and additional car parking to support the growing number of users have now been completed in stage two.
This includes a Changing Places facility to provide safe, hygienic and dignified changing options for people with high support needs and their carers.
