Which is the best option for the Napier pool?

Sharron Pardoe Reporter from Hawke's Bay News

Three options for Napier's proposed new Aquatic Centre have been released.

Three options for Napier's proposed new Aquatic Centre have been released.


Napier City Council is proposing spending between $19.5 million and $37million on the options.
It will also consult the public on two alternative options – a more expensive Olympic-size 50m pool or a cheaper extension of the existing facilities.


On Monday the council released artist's impressions of how the new centre could look, and how it could be used.


Option one, the Ivan Wilson Expansion, was the most cost-effective of the options. It would see the current Napier Aquatic Centre close temporarily while wide-scale renovations took place. The result would be a $19.5m extension of existing facilities – a new 25m x 25m pool, a 12.5m x 8m learners' pool, a new gym and health and wellness centre, and a lifespan of around 15 years.


Option two, the 25-Metre New-Build, could be constructed alongside the current facility – meaning the pools could remain open throughout. It offers three new pools - a new 25m x 25m pool, a 20m x 8m learners' pool, as well as a 25m x 12m programme pool for classes such as aqua fitness. There would be a water play area containing a bomb pool, lazy river and hydroslides, and a new gym and health and wellness centre. The cost was $37m and the anticipated lifespan was around 30 years.


Option three, the 50-Metre new-build, could also be constructed alongside the current facility, so that the pools could remain open throughout. A feature of the 50m build is its moveable bulkhead that can divide the pool in two. It also offers three new pools - a new 50m x 21m pool, a 20m x 8m learners' pool, as well as a 15m x 8m programme pool for classes such as aqua fitness. There would be a water play area containing a bomb pool, lazy river and hydroslides, and a new gym and health and wellness centre. The cost is $38m and the lifespan was around 30 years.


Feedback can be made at www.napier.govt.nz..., and there will be a Spring Open Day at the Onekawa Aquatic Centre on Sunday, September 3.

Is $45 million too much for one attraction or will it be money well spent?

Sharron Pardoe Reporter from Hawke's Bay News

The plans have been revealed and it will treble the size of the aquarium. How do you feel about it? Will it bring in more tourists and make the foreshore an even bigger attraction.
