The Council consulted on the proposed co-location of a new swimming and sports facilities for Wanaka via its 2009-19 Ten-year plan process.

The Council has decided to:
•  request a technical assessment of greenfields sites before choosing between one of these sites and the A and P Grounds proposal;
•  include a provisional capital sum in 2009/10 for the purchase of a greenfields site if selected.
•  support the proposed format of the aquatic centre but defer the aquatic centre for 10-15 years, due to the current economic climate and a recent report that the current facility can continue to operate at an affordable cost(after some improvements in air handling and floor surfaces;
•  investigate investing in some internal facility enhancement on the existing pool, including the possible creation of  learners pool for inclusion in the 2010/11 Annual Plan;
•  confirm that an indoor sports facility is the priority and commence development of a stadium and hard court area (with provision for an aquatic centre footprint) in year 3 of the 10-Year Plan (2011).
