Shoalhaven City Council also owns and operates the Shoalhaven Indoor Sports Centre in Bomaderry, which forms part of the Shoalhaven Community and Recreation Precinct (SCaRP).

Background

In 2021, Council resolved to proceed with the development of concept designs to illustrate how a refurbishment of the Bay & Basin Leisure Centre might be achieved.

Plans were originally developed in 2016. These plans were further revised in 2018, based on community feedback.

In February 2022, Co-Op studios was selected to provide concept design and detailed design services for the refurbishment of the Bay & Basin Leisure Centre.

Co-Op developed 4 concept design options, which were presented to Council in September 2022. A preferred option was identified, and then further developed in response to feedback provided by Councillors.

Revised concept design plans were presented to Council in February 2023. Option 4 was selected to be the basis for further design development work and community consultation.

  • Phase 1 - concept design: 100% complete.
  • Phase 2 – community consultation: Oct. 2023 onwards.
  • Phase 3 – detailed design: 0% complete (yet to commence).

Phase 1 & 2 are funded by Shoalhaven City Council, in the Delivery Program Operational Plan 2022/23.

Phase 3 is funded by Shoalhaven City Council, in the Delivery Program Operational Plan 2023/24.

Funding is yet to be committed for future phases, including construction.
