Right now, the inner west does not have a public pool. During our increasingly hot summers, locals have to drive out of the area to get somewhere to cool off.
There used to be a public pool in Toowong, but Council sold it off in 2001. The Greens believe everyone should be able to access a public pool without excessive travel or breaking the bank, which is why we’ve been calling on Council to build an inner west pool for years.
According to the Council's Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) an aquatic centre is tentatively planned near Indooroopilly... but not until 2031-2036! We still need funding and a clear commitment to deliver this. That's why I've started a petition calling on the Lord Mayor and local councillor to create a new public pool for Maiwar.
Sign the petition to show how much locals want a local public pool for the inner west!
(Please note this petition is being conducted in conjunction with the Greens campaign for the Walter Taylor Ward, and your details will be shared with that campaign).
