Diving into the future: Beenleigh's new pool

From the oldest public pool in the City of Logan to the newest and most modern – that’s the exciting project now underway in Beenleigh.

Construction has now begun on the $23.1 million Beenleigh Aquatic Centre upgrade.

A heated 50-metre, 8-lane swimming pool is expected to open mid-2025, replacing the 33-yard pool which opened in 1964 and has now been demolished.

The upgrade also includes a kiosk, an expanded children’s water play area, shaded seating areas, modern changeroom facilities, and accessible and family-friendly amenities.

Division 12 Councillor Karen Murphy says sustainability was top of mind when finalising the upgrade plans.

‘The facility will have solar panelling to generate clean energy and storm water will be collected to minimise mains water usage.’

Cr Murphy says the upgraded facility will complete Stage 2 of the Dauth Park Masterplan.

‘I can’t wait to see locals splashing around and swimming laps in a sparkling new pool in Beenleigh,’ Cr Murphy says.

‘This modern facility also will provide excellent training opportunities for locals and visitors ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.’

The indoor pool remains open to the public while works are underway and all existing programs in that section of the complex will continue.

The project is funded through the $285.8 million SEQ Liveability Fund – one of 29 commitments being delivered under the SEQ City Deal – with Logan City Council investing $13.4 million alongside $4.85 million in contributions from the Australian and Queensland governments.
