Ryan Mitchell Swim Centre Renewal & Upgrade Community Consultation – Now Open

Port Augusta City Council is seeking community feedback regarding a proposed upgrade to the Ryan Mitchell Swim Centre.

The Ryan Mitchell Swim Centre is approximately 50 years old and Port Augusta City Council have secured Government funding to undertake an upgrade of the Centre to address the ageing facility and reduce increasing running costs of the popular public asset.

In early 2021 it was announced that Port Augusta City Council would receive $1.01 million from the State Government's Local Government Infrastructure Partnership Program.

The project includes replacing all of the plant, pipes, filters and chemical dosing facility; minor refurbishments to the ablutions and office building; and installing a disabled ramp, a pool liner, solar panels, and a ‘water play park.’

“We have had a lot of interest from the community as to what should be incorporated into the Swim Centre upgrade. We know a range of people in our community use the facilities, and now they get to have their say.” Mayor Brett Benbow stated.

“The current consultation is focussed on the toddler pool area and a new water play park.”

Port Augusta City Council would like to know your thoughts on the upgrade to the Ryan Mitchell Swim Centre. Community Consultation survey forms are available from the Civic Centre at 4 Mackay Street (foyer area) or you can phone 8641 9100 to have a survey sent to you.

The online survey is also available at the Ryan Mitchell Swim Centre and the online survey is available at https://www.portaugusta.sa.gov.au/enquiries/your-say/current-consultation/ryan-mitchell-swim-centre-renewal (view the YOUR SAY section on the home page).

Consultation commences December 6th 2021 and closes January 2nd 2022.
