  • Interim Recreation Swimming Pool Management Plan
    Closure of Parramatta Swimming Centre - Interim Recreation Swimming Pool Management Plan May 2018 Revision history Version Date of publication Prepared by A 8 March 2017 K. Neasy, Infrastructure NSW B 23 May 2018 K. Neasy, Infrastructure NSW 2 Executive summary Western Sydney is set to be delivered a new 30,000 seat world class venue that will revolutionise the spectator experience. The stadium is the first project to be delivered under the NSW Government’s Stadia Strategy, the largest investment in sporting infrastructure since the 2000 Olympics. The Parramatta Swimming Centre is being relocated to make way for the new Western Sydney Stadium as the new venue will require a larger overall footprint, including for pedestrian and emergency vehicle access. A State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for the stage one of the new Western Sydney Stadium was submitted and exhibited in August 2016 which covered concept proposal of the new stadium as well as demolition of the existing Pirtek Stadium and Parramatta Swimming Centre. This plan has been developed to meet the conditions of consent set out in Part B5 of the Stage One SSDA development consent for the Western Sydney Stadium granted in December 2016. This plan and supporting communications campaign were developed in consultation with City of Parramatta, Parramatta Park Trust and operators of alternative facilities. We also surveyed over 400 pool users and met with key pool user groups to ensure the interim arrangements in this plan meet their needs. There are a number of alternative swimming centres within a 10 kilometre radius of the swimming centre that can accommodate existing pool users until a replacement swimming centre.
