2024/25 season at George Bolton Swimming Centre starts in late Nov

Published on 28 August 2024

The George Bolton Swimming Centre (the centre) will reopen in late November for the 2024/25 swimming season.

Construction delays at the centre will impacted the commencement of the 2024/25 swimming season.

A new electric heat pump and plant room has been installed at the centre, replacing the existing gas heating system.

The pool is currently responsible for around a third of the City of Burnside’s entire carbon emissions, and the switch to an electric heating system, which will be supported by solar panels already installed at the pool, will make a major impact in Council’s journey to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.

Construction commenced at the centre at the end of the 2023/24 swimming season in May 2024, with the works intended to be completed before the commencement of the 2024/25 swimming season (historically in late September each year).

Challenging site conditions including proximity to the nearby creek line, the protection of regulated and significant trees, constrained access for heavy vehicles/machinery and weather conditions have delayed these construction activities, impacting the scheduled completion of the project.
