Plans to revive and build swimming pools across Sydney have led to the formation of a political party and accusations of elitism in the run-up to local council elections on December 4.

The heritage restoration to one of Sydney’s most-loved assets, the beautiful and historic Dawn Fraser Baths, is now complete with the Baths set to reopen as soon as the public health restrictions are lifted allowing for the reopening of public pools.
Council is celebrating the completion of the $8 million heritage restoration works with a special winter program and free entry for two weeks after the reopening.
“I promised to save Dawn Fraser Baths and, while it’s been a long hard fight, together we have now secured the future of Australia’s oldest and most beautiful harbourside pool for generations to come,” said Mayor Byrne.
THE discovery of a used syringe at Colleges Crossing has tainted what was supposed to be an idyllic afternoon for Trinette Marchant and her family.
Located by her children just metres from where they had been kayaking, the mother-of-five said it was a shock to see the grubby item floating at the river’s edge.
“We’ve been [to Colleges Crossing] a few times over the years, we just upgraded our gear over Christmas, so we were keen to get out and spend some time there,” she said.
While it was a lucky escape for the Brassall family, further issues were soon presented during Ms Marchant’s attempt to safely dispose of the needle.
