Winchelsea’s new pool opened to community for the first time on Saturday 22 February 2025, and community members gathered for an official opening ceremony on 27 February.

The fully redeveloped site features new 25m and leisure pools with heated water, pavilion and a splash park providing plenty of fun for kids and families.

Council fully funded the $8.9 million redevelopment.

During the project development phase community consultation and survey responses from almost 300 people guided design of the new facility to replicate the much-loved former main pool, enlarge the medium pool and include a new splash park.

The former pool, opened in 1963, had reached the end of its working life.
