Maintenance and upgrades to the pools, located in Euroa, Violet Town, Nagambie and Avenel, require careful planning and significant investment.
The facilities are pillars of community connection and recreation for the towns they exist within, and welcomed 18,450 visitors during the 2024-25 season.
“Our pools are valued social spaces where people connect, families spend quality time, and the community embraces active living,” Strathbogie Shire Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy said.
“As we plan for the future, it’s important we hear directly from the community to ensure these spaces continue to reflect the needs and aspirations of those who use them.”
Council is now engaging Strathbogie Shire residents in consultation to gain feedback on the facilities.
The consultation is set to shape decisions on pool programs and services, facility upgrades and accessibility, user fees, operating hours and seasonal use, and long-term planning.
An online survey is open now, and can be found at share.strathbogie.vic.gov.au. It will close on Friday, November 7.
The survey can also be accessed in person by visiting the Euroa or Nagambie customer service centres.
In addition to the survey, council is inviting interested community members and key stakeholders to attend a round table discussion at the Euroa Community Conference Centre, 1B Bury St, on Thursday, November 13 at 4pm.
This session will allow attendees to share their perspectives, ask questions and contribute meaningfully to the future planning of Strathbogie Shire’s aquatic facilities.
RSVPs are encouraged, and can be made at share.strathbogie.vic.gov.au, or by calling 1800 065 993.
