BIG news Shire of Ashburton residents – your pools are getting heating upgrades 🎉
During the August 2023 Council Meeting, Elected Members unanimously voted for the installation of heating in all of our aquatic facilities after a community petition received in July of 2023.
In our 2024-25 Budget, Council allocated just shy of $1 millions for these upgrades.
The tender was successfully awarded to Byblos Constructions in February 2025, our next shoulder season is set to be extended, with warmer waters set to welcome residents and visitors alike throughout winter 🏊
While these works are underway, opening hours of your town's pool will be affected. The following closures are scheduled, with the potential of additional dates to come in the future:
Onslow Aquatic Centre | Onslow
⚠️ Tuesday, 14 October 2025
⚠️ Wednesday, 15 October 2025
⚠️ Thursday, 16 October 2025
Vic Hayton Memorial Swimming Pool | Tom Price
⚠️ Thursday, 16 October 2025

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding while we work on improving community infrastructure across our towns!
