Community pools play a vital role in promoting health, wellness, and social interaction among residents. They provide a space for recreational activities, fitness and health as well as education and safety.

We're developing an Aquatic Centres Infrastructure Plan. The plan will help us understand how our public pools are performing for the community and to identify potential areas for improvement.

An evaluation of existing aquatic facilities, including pools, recreational areas and supporting infrastructure will be undertaken to determine their current condition and usage levels.

We want to understand what your needs and expectations are regarding Council owned aquatic facilities in Port Stephens. We encourage you to complete the short survey that will help shape the plan that reflects the community’s desires and needs. The survey will close 29 May 2026.
