Naracoorte Swimming Lake Draft Masterplan
A bold and refreshed vision for the Naracoorte Swimming Lake is now available for public comment through the release of the Draft Naracoorte Swimming Lake Masterplan 2023-2033.
The Naracoorte Swimming Lake is one of Council’s most prized assets and is a loved and valued experience for locals and visitors – and it is free.
In the 2021-2022 financial year, $30,000 was budgeted for the development of concept designs to help prepare a new Swimming Lake Masterplan and the concepts are now available to view and are incorporated into the Draft Masterplan document.
Forecasted costs for new Masterplan projects over the next 10 years total $2,314,068 with an estimated $2,889,061 expected for ongoing operational and maintenance costs (which Council already budgets for), and $300,000 for other asset upgrades; taking the projected total investment in the Naracoorte Swimming Lake until 2033 at $5,503,129.
New projects include $220,000 for upgrading shade, shelters and picnic areas (2023-2024), $350,000 for renovating the kitchen and café area (2024-2025), $170,000 in new trails and pathways (2025-2026) and $750,000 for a new splash-park and playground (2029-2031).
A new pump filtration system and bore upgrade are earmarked as part of the overall asset maintenance upgrades to be completed in 2027-2028 and estimated at $300,000 collectively.
Phase two of the consultation is now open and members of the community can review the Draft Naracoorte Swimming Lake Masterplan and concepts and provide feedback and comment.
Community consultation is open until 14 September and for more information, and to give us your feedback, visit https://yoursay.naracoortelucindale.sa.gov.au/
