City to use pool funding at sports centre

The South West Sports Centre will again benefit from an injection of cash through the State Government’s Community Pools Revitalisation Program.

The Royalties for Regions grant program provides money for pool and water playground projects.

After earlier this month revealing a water playground was unlikely to go ahead, Bunbury City Council will use the $32,000 at the sports centre.

The cash will fund the centre’s amenities project including accessible toilets and changerooms.

Sport and Recreation Minister Mia Davies said up to $32,000 towards pool upgrades, maintenance, equipment or a reduction in pool entry costs and $10,000 for water playgrounds could be applied for through the program.
