Canberra's New Aquatic Centre Skips Dive Pool, Sparks Outrage

Big news from Canberra: the new Aquatic Centres design omits a deep dive pool, sparking outrage among fans of the current Canberra Olympic Pool. The centre, set to open in 2027-2028, will feature an indoor pool, program pool, change rooms, and an outdoor splash park. However, the absence of a five-metre-deep dive pool, central to the old site, threatens local sports scenes and social spaces. Advocates push for upgrades or a revamp of the Civic facility instead.
