Snowy Monaro Regional Council (SMRC) today announced that the long-awaited upgrades at Cooma Pool will get underway in June 2025. Funded by the NSW Government thanks to a grant from the Department of Regional New South Wales under the Stronger Country Communities Fund, these works will see the ageing pool shell replaced and brand new filtration, pumping and plant equipment installed.

These improvements will ensure Cooma Pool meets and exceeds modern water safety standards now and into the future, with better water quality bringing a better experience to all pool users in the upcoming 2025/2026 swim season.
Once this work is complete, Cooma Pool will be set to continue serving the summertime needs of the Snowy Monaro for many more years to come.
A spokersperson for SMRC said, “Due to the significant scope of the upgrade project and all of the work required in the next several months, Council expects that the traditional early spring reopening date will need to be pushed back.”
“The season will be extended to account for this delay. As soon as exact dates are determined, we will issue a further update to advise the community of the changes required to complete these works this year.
We look forward to welcoming swimmers back to the upgraded and improved Cooma Pool later this year.”
“Contact our projects team with any questions or concerns.”
