Adelaide City Council will not block the Malinauskas Government’s plan for a $135 million aquatic centre in North Adelaide, after the Lord Mayor was forced to intervene to prevent councillors opposed to the project from delaying its approval.
Adelaide City Council is set to approve $20m in ratepayer funds to demolish the Adelaide Aquatic Centre and restore surrounding park lands, after the Lord Mayor labelled the existing facility “unsaveable, unrepairable and unusable” amid plans for a new facility.
