1. CHARLESTOWNLeisureCentreConcept
Lake Macquarie City Council (LMCC) own six swimming centres
and operate four of these. The centres are best described as
traditional municipal pools that do not currently offer many of the
design and operational features found in modern aquatic centres.
In June 2009, Council resolved to adopt the Pool Service Delivery
Model (PSDM) as the strategy for the future development of the
City’s public swimming centres. Council has since resolved to
support the development of plans for Charlestown and Swansea
Swim Centres to the development application stage as the two
highest priorities. The PSDM developed some preliminary schemes
in consultation with the community . In December last year Council
engaged Peddle Thorp Architects and Facility Design Group to
develop contemporary designs for each centre based upon the
PSDM recommendations.
Modern aquatic centres offer more than just traditional swimming
sports, with new designs providing the community with a number
of healthy activities. To reflect this modern design focus, our swim
centres are set to become Leisure Centres.
Concepts are now ready to be showcased and Council wants
to hear from you about these design concepts.
Charlestown is the central business district for Lake Macquarie.
The Charlestown Master Plan predicts that the housing and
commercial density in the immediate vicinity of the swim centre
will increase in the future. Charlestown Swim Centre is in a prime
position to capitalise on the growth of the Charlestown area.
Currently Charlestown swim centre is Council’s busiest with close
to double the amount of visits than any other pool.
The existing pools and amenities reception block require
significant upgrades and their current locations hinder the future
development of the site. Due to these constraints, none of the
existing facilities are proposed to be retained.
The development of the Charlestown swim centre provides
community infrastructure that will enable the activation of the
broader site and the master plan of Charlestown and the region.
Charlestown is designed to be the major district Leisure Centre
and will offer the largest variety of activities of any centre in
Lake Macquarie.

2. CHARLESTOWNLeisureCentreConcept
The Charlestown Leisure Centre will replace the existing
facilities and pools. The Centre will provide year-round
aquatic and fitness services.
Charlestown Leisure Centre is located adjacent to the
Charlestown commercial precinct. Charlestown is a major
regional centre within Council’s Lifestyle 2030 Strategic
Plan. It is expected to contain a concentration of medium
and high-density residential, retail, social and medical
services, and civic functions and facilities. The proposed
Leisure Centre will become the major district aquatic
leisure facility for Lake Macquarie.
The proposed entry along Dickinson Street is at a similar
location to the existing entrance. The fitness and well-
being centre is located above the entry with the pool hall
wrapping around the southern side of the site - providing
a sunny aspect for all pools. The pool hall and fitness
centre also protect the outdoor 50m pool from southerly
and westerly winds. To the south of the new facility,
formal car parking spaces are increased to 141 within a
landscaped precinct.

Swansea is characterised as Lake Macquarie’s coastal
township. Swansea is adjacent to the Swansea Channel
which is the entrance to Lake Macquarie. The existing Swim
Centre is slightly elevated and looks over the Channel with
views out towards the headland.
The swim centre is Council’s oldest, built in 1961. It is
located on a 1.9 hectare lot but the majority of this lot used
as a sports oval by the neighbouring school. The age and
orientation of the existing facility, plus the lack of car parking,
has meant that the proposed new facility will replace all
existing structures.
Swansea is designed to be the major local Leisure Centre.
The proposed design maximises the space available and
includes the closure of Channel Street between Belmont and
Rawson Streets to provide a recreational connection between
the Centre, the Channel and the shared pathway.

12. LeisureCentreConcept
Situated on the Swansea Channel and within walking
distance of the Swansea commercial area, the
proposed Leisure Centre replaces the aging Swim
Centre. The facility will provide a variety of health and
fitness services all year round.
The proposal includes closing Channel Street between
Belmont and Rawson Street to create a recreational
space and a connection between the facility and the
Swansea Channel. The facility will have 24 formal car
parks, with entry to the carpark via a new roundabout
at the intersection of Belmont and Josephson Street.
The roundabout will act as a traffic calming device
along Belmont St.
The existing 50m pool location has been adjusted and
realigned to allow views across Swansea Channel from
both the pool area and spectator seating. The open
frontage along the channel allows for connections to
the cycle and walking paths. It is proposed that the
50m pool remain a seasonal operating pool.
Indoor facilities will include an aquatic hall and a gym
/ fitness area which will be open all year round. The
aquatic hall contains a multi- purposes pool with a
leisure beach entry that ramps down and wraps around
to a program pool. The program pool will be used for
learn to swim and other warm water activities. The
gym / fitness area will have vistas across Swansea
Channel and provide the community with a number
health activities. A multi-purpose room provides an
opportunity for classes, meetings and swim club use.
