NOOSA AQUATICS CENTRE UPGRADE PLAN AND NOOSA AQUATICS FACILITIES STRATEGIC PLAN · Attachment 2 Noosa Aquatic Facilities Strategic Plan 2026-2036

           Recommendations
           This Strategic Plan sets out practical recommendations to improve
           accessibility, optimise existing assets, strengthen programming and
           service delivery, and partnership-based service delivery across the
           Shire.
           This Strategic Plan recommends that Noosa Council:
           1. Apply universal design principles across all future aquatic facility
                upgrades to ensure equitable access and consistent service
                standards.
           2. Position the Noosa Aquatic Centre as a high-performance
                training and warm-up venue in the lead-up to Brisbane 2032,
                including actively pursuing pre-Games training camps and
                Olympic legacy funding opportunities.
           3. Embed environmentally sustainable design and technology in
                all new and upgraded aquatic infrastructure to improve climate
                resilience, reduce operational costs, and enhance long-term
                asset performance.
           4. Deliver a balanced and complementary mix of aquatic
                programs that support community recreation, fitness, wellness,
                rehabilitation, social connection, and clear pathways to high-
                performance sport.
           5. Implement consistent data collection and reporting across all
                publicly accessible aquatic facilities to better inform planning,
                investment decisions, and service delivery.
           6. Strengthen partnerships with neighbouring councils, education
                providers, health services, and tourism operators to maximise
                shared facility use and support the attraction of regional and
                major events.
