The Yass Memorial Swimming Pool was built in 1965 and incorporates a 50 metre Olympic pool and children's pool, plus associated office, change rooms and kiosk.

Council is considering ways in which to minimise the subsidy payable in the operation of the pool, acknowledging also that structural elements of the pool are reaching the end of their useful life and will require significant investment in years to come to bring it up to standard. The pool already suffers modest water losses due to leakage.

The local community has also expressed a desire to investigate the feasibility of Council providing a 25 metre indoor heated swimming pool on the site. The pool would incorporate features for lap swimming, water aerobics and hydrotherapy. In order to assist Council in developing feasibility study a Community Committee comprising 15 residents has been formed to provide input into this process.

Council is inviting a fee proposal from selected experienced consultants to undertake the work necessary to respond to the matters above.
