Sunshine Coast Aquatic Plan 2011-2026 - Sunshine Coast Council

Buderim Aquatic Centre, 44 Main Street, Buderim (council owned)
The Buderim Aquatic Centre is located in the main street of Buderim and is situated adjacent to
the Buderim Mountain State School Pool (25 metre swimming pool). Currently the council facility
operates under a management agreement which is in place until June 2013.
The facility features a six lane 25 metre lap pool, program pool, first aid room, kiosk and
amenities block.
Assessment
Based on a 5 kilometre catchment area for this facility the catchment population as at the 2006
census is estimated to be 47,641 persons. The aquatic needs within this area are also serviced by
council’s Cotton Tree facility and various other non-council owned pools in this, and neighbouring,
localities. The University of the Sunshine Coast has also announced the development of a
50 metre aquatic facility in the near future and there is potential to investigate community use of
the adjacent school 25 metre swimming pool to increase capacity for community access.
