Naenae pool plans unveiled
The first look at the proposed design for the Naenae Pool and Fitness suite is here!
Before we get into detailed design and begin construction, we want to check in with everyone who will be using the pool to make sure we're delivering the best facility possible – for Naenae and Te Awakairangi.
In this draft design, you'll notice features that reflect what the community and aquatic sports users told us they wanted. We're;
🏊♂️ Keeping the 50-metre pool;
🎉 making sure the facility is a place for birthdays, special occasions, and the building is accessible; and
🌴 moving the site position in Walter Mildenhall park to better connect it with Hillary Court.
This is your chance to give feedback so we can ensure this plan for the pool reflects your needs! Let us know what you think 👇
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
