Aquatic Centre

The town is in desperate need of the year round aquatic center! It is long overdue and would be such a huge assest for our town.

It's so important to teach our kids to swim especially in our shire where we have creeks, rivers, the lakes and farm dams. Currently the only option in town is the council pool which is only open seasonally which is not conducive to having swim lessons for children year round or for younger babies. This means parents have to take their children all the way to Benalla to access a year round heated pool with year round lessons. While doing that they purchase fuel and shopping in Benalla which takes away opportunities for our local businesses.

An aquatic center doesn't only benefit children and their swim lessons, it would benefit the whole town by being able to be used for rehabilitation, disabled people, swimming for seniors and exercise for all. It would also be a great asset year round for a place for people to enjoy and exercise without having to worry about weather conditions.

It would add another place for visitors to enjoy while they visit our town. I can guarantee an indoor aquatic center would be busy all the time in Mansfield!

Please do consider having enough parking and safety around the parking area so everyone in our community is kept safe.
