TSB Pool Complex Demolition

After serving the district faithfully for decades as a much-loved community venue for fitness and fun, we’re finally saying farewell to the old TSB Pool Complex in King Edward Park with demolition of the facility.

As well as having exceeded its design life (and looking every bit its age and more) the building has been identified as earthquake prone.

Council asked the community what they would like to happen to the facility as part of the Long Term Plan (LTP) 2024-34 process. Feedback was mixed, with a little over half wanting to see it demolished and the rest wanting nothing to be done, or for a seismic assessment carried out and expressions of interest put out to the community to re-purpose the building.

Earthquake strengthening and re-purposing the building would come at a significant cost to ratepayers. After much deliberation, Elected Members chose to demolish the facility and return this area of King Edward Park back to a grassed space.

This page will keep you up to date with the progress of this demolition project.
