After seven years of community campaigning, blocking by certain elements on Rockdale Council, innumerable meetings, a protest rally, speeches, petition.....and a facebook page....
.... on Saturday 25 July 2015, the first sod was turned on the construction of the new Rockdale Aquatic Centre (I'm sure we'll still call it Bexley Pool)
 |
| Rockdale mayor Shane O'Brien "sort of" turning the first sod (it wasn't turned on as he doesn't have a licence!) |
 |
| Can hardly wait til the summer of 2016-2017 to get back into this pool. |
 |
| I do hope the Cape Chestnut trees make the transition...they flower in September / October. |
 |
| What community event would be complete without a sausage sizzle??? |
 |
| Deputy Mayor, Liz Barlow, and Cr Mark Hanna, both avid pool supporters. Mark was integral to the campaign for the pool, and then got elected to Council. |
