We need to finish the work on the new Mudgeeraba Pool. As you can see in this video, the preloading work has already been done and settled. I spent 10 years of my life as a Councillor to the pool approved and operational. I had organised for the money to be allocated to this project but in 2012, the project was stopped. It is an absolute travesty.
Here are some of the facts:
* Funded was allocated in 4 year programme.
* Plans prepared for a lavish centre that would cost $18M – I delayed this project for a redesign to lessen cost.
* Preload cost $800,000 and has been completed.
* Project allows for 10 lane 25m Olympic pool and children’s play pool and Hydrotherapy Pool.
* Hydrotherapy Pool used by elderly and sportspeople.
* Only one other Public Hydrotherapy Pool on the Gold Coast.
* The current pool was built in 1968 and has been decommissioned but is surviving on band-aides and silicone
I want to re-initiate plans and funding for the Mudgeeraba Swimming pool.
Vote 1 Ted Shepherd and get the Mudgeeraba Pool built.
