NORTH NARRABEEN ROCKPOOL AMENITIES UPGRADE


North Narrabeen Swim Clubs

This upgrade was a controversial topic due to the Council staff recommendation to consider a cafe at this location.

Their report was as follows.

As part of Council’s ongoing commitment to improving public amenities, an upgrade of the facilities of North Narrabeen Rockpool Public Amenities is proposed. With the diverse range of recreational activities that occur in this area, the project’s intention is to increase the use and enjoyment of this space. The proposed work on the ground floor includes the addition of accessible amenities, the refurbishment of the existing male and female amenities, and change rooms. The proposed work on the upper floor, being primarily utilised by the swim clubs, involves renewing the entire space as well as a full kitchen refurbishment. Further, the proposal on the ground floor includes the introduction of a café at this location. Council has engaged with the community through a range of mediums and this report outlines the community feedback as well as the proposed next steps.
