Kawana <strong>Aquatic</strong> Centre, Sportsman Parade, Bokarina (council owned)<br />
The Kawana <strong>Aquatic</strong> Centre is located within the Quad Park Sports Precinct in the major activity<br />
centre of Kawana. The <strong>Plan</strong> recommends it be developed and marketed as the feature regional<br />
aquatic centre for high level events and competition. Currently the facility operates under a lease<br />
which is in place with the Quad Park Corporation until 30 April 2032.<br />
This facility features a 50 metre pool (water polo compliant), 25 metre pool, diving pool with 3 diving<br />
boards and platform, program pool as well as a toddler leisure water area, amenities block and crèche.<br />
Assessment<br />
The 2006 census 10 kilometre population catchment is estimated to be 108,084 persons. Although<br />
this population catchment figure appears high, the aquatic needs within this area are serviced by<br />
two other council district facilities at Caloundra and Cotton Tree. The facility has the capacity and<br />
much of the required infrastructure already to be the premier events venue on the coast, however<br />
further planning is required to assist council and the community to identify what needs to be done<br />
to deliver this outcome.<br />

Staff time<br />
A concept plan for this facility will be developed<br />
following the endorsement of this <strong>Plan</strong>. Concept<br />
plan considerations should include options and<br />
embellishments to develop the centre as the regional<br />
venue and will be used to generate community feedback<br />
towards final design elements within a master plan.<br />
