Swim Zone Morrinsville
Looking further ahead
Part of planning ahead for the future is recognising that we can’t do everything at once – it isn’t practical or affordable. So here are a few of the other key projects that we’re planning in years 4-10 of this ten year plan. As these are several years out, we don’t have a lot of detail on them just yet, and the community will get another chance to give feedback/input into these projects closer to the time.
One of the most common requests we hear from the Morrinsville community is to upgrade the pool and have it open all year round. The pool is nearing the end of its asset life and we’ll be looking to upgrade/replace it, with planning starting in year four of this plan (2028/29). The pool upgrade will be a major project, and the community will have the chance to share their ideas and input into the design.
