Build an upgraded, modern, aquatic facility on the Kilsyth Centenary Pool site in VIC.

The council managed to find funds to build themselves a multi million dollar eyesore that apparently is half empty. A facility for the people they represent should also be a major priority. We pay enough rates for it.

I'm signing because having a public pool local to my home is important

We and A lot of families are missing out on swimming classes and health exercise due to the closure

I’m signing this petition because I’ve grown up with Kilsyth Centenary Pool and it has made me very sad and very angry that the Yarra Ranges Council have demolished it and I want the council to rebuild a modern swimming center on the side of the old one.
Now I have to go all the way to Croydon Memorial Pool in the summer and other times I have to go to Aquanation in Ringwood.

I belive the pool is needed for the local community. I was looking at attending some form of water exercise classes when I retired. Now I can not and will not travel to another shire's pool when we should still have our own upgraded one.

I'm signing because the Kilsyth pools should be upgraded for the kids and families and the older people can have a pool to go to and not have travel miles away for no reason.

I was very disappointed when I heard the pool was to close and definitely want it to stay - it was very popular and much needed.

I want an affordable, local 50m pool back. I don't like croydon facilities. They are busy, expensive and inconvenient

I believe we need a pool in this area, I have lived in Melbourne east my entire life from Mitcham to Mt Evelyn and everywhere in between that. I am 56 and have always chosen to use the Kilsyth pool for its indoor & outdoor and rock pool

Im signing because there should be a pool to service our local people. Children, seniors are just a few of thw community groups that need this for social and recreational reasons

All communities should have access to a pool - it’s life saving for beginners, it’s one of the best forms of exercise for all age groups, an exercise that can sustain all age groups for keeping level of fitness and mental health therapy and meeting place for all age groups to meet friends whether school friends or other age groups - mothers with bubs or older age group to whom socialisation is essential.

I’m signing this because I have been regular swimmer at Kilsyth for years
For the Yarra ranges to close this pool without a follow up plan Is a disgrace to local rate payers

The pool was the best part of our local town , and we all all conned by the council on this matter . They announced that they were shutting the pool for upgrades and that it would re open after repairs , then surprise surprise they shut it down after months of doing nothing and hoping that people would not complain . This is typical of this council and this petition is the best thing ever . Bring back the pool for all the locals and for the sake of our kids and teenagers it’s a huge family asset amd needs to be retained
Thanks Allan westwood

I’m signing as i first swam at the pool 40 years ago it’s a travesty that you let it go into disrepair in the first place. Build a modern swimming pool for future generations don’t be selfish and think of others for a change

I am signing this petition because I don't not believe that the pool should have been closed. I feel that the Yarra Ranges council made the decision without taking into account what the residents wanted.

I’m signing because I’m a resident of Kilsyth, and I’ve always used the pool growing up. All through primary school, it served as a great place for fun and learning, both inside and outside school hours. I would love to see the pool back in its former glory, so that people can exercise, learn, have fun, connect, and have a place to spend their free time doing all of the above

We need an indoor heated pool for hydrotherapy.

I am signing this petition as we have great use of this facility over it's life time. I believe the Dome was always a temporary measure. We are now in Corowa and we have a fabulous revamped aquatic Centre with a water playground 50 metre indoor pool and out door pools. In this year of Olympics and Australias swimming pride, I find it bad management to get rid of this assert. With all our refugees in the area who also need to learn to swim as well as our children who will be blamed if drowning happens because of lack of learning to swim facility been taken away by this lot of COUNCILORS. 🏊🏊🏊

Because the YR council has not asked anyone's opinion. They knew the pool needed up updating for years and left it. We only have 3 pools to go to:
Croydon which is packed to the brim, Yarra junction and Healsville both of which are half an hour away from Lilydale/Kilsyth.
We need an updated Kilsyth pool!!!

Kilsyth pool should never have been demolished. Rebuild it so local families don't have to drive stupid distances to teach their children how to swim.

I grew up swimming there and I look after children between 1-5 everyday and think it very beneficial growing up with a holiday house near a beach with no life guides made me a confident swimmer
