In April 2022, Council adopted the Hepburn Shire Council Aquatics Strategy. The strategy has provided a 10-year priority plan that will guide the future strategic direction, infrastructure development priorities, and asset management planning. It will also maximise participation and programming opportunities to improve the health, wellbeing, and liveability outcomes for the communities of Hepburn Shire.

A key outcome from the Aquatics Strategy was the identified need for access to indoor all year-round aquatics provision to support the needs of Hepburn Shire residents.

We have recently engaged Consultants Solucio to work with Council to develop the Hepburn Shire Indoor Aquatics Provision Feasibility Study and Business Case to understand Council’s ability to fund and operate future indoor aquatics provision opportunities.

The purpose of Phase 1 community engagement for this project is to further explore and expand on the community feedback gathered to develop the Hepburn Shire Aquatics Strategy.

We are focussing on filling the information gaps and seeking community input into the development of the Hepburn Shire Indoor Aquatics Provision Feasibility and Business Case.

To support gathering more information we asked for feedback via a survey. This survey has now closed.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to let us know your views.

If you have any questions regarding this survey, please contact Council’s Sport and Active Recreation Team via email sportrecreation@hepburn.vic.gov.au.
