Background

In 2020 Council consulted with the local community and pool users about the idea to build an amenities building. People told us they generally supported the idea provided the building was small, sympathetic to the location and environment and minimised view loss. People also said their preferred location was near the car park.

We have carefully considered this feedback and responded to it in the concept plan that was on public exhbition until 26 June 2023. Visit Your Say Randwick to view the concept plan.

The concept plan for the new Malabar Pool amenities was approved for construction at the Ordinary Council, Tuesday 25 July 2023. Construction will commence in the 2024/25 financial year. You can read the outcomes of the consultation here and the Council report here) (see page 37).
