We've appointed AECOM to coordinate and manage the construction of the new Naenae Pool!
The next steps are geotechnical testing and site preparation, and early next year the project team will be working with the community on pool design. We'll also be looking at new sustainable technologies which will limit the impact of the pool on the environment.
All workers on the project will be paid at least the Living Wage and we'll be looking for opportunities for local companies and service providers.
