Mansfield Aquatic Centre Opening Hours
Council is seeking community feedback on their preferred operating hours for the Mansfield Aquatic Centre.
The 2026/27 season will open on Saturday 12 December, three weeks later than usual to accommodate the LAPS capital works project. To offset the delay, the season will be extended by three weeks at the end of the usual operating period, so the community will have access for a similar duration to previous seasons.
Consultation will close Wednesday 11 November 2026.
Council invites community members to choose their preferred opening hours for the upcoming season by completing the survey.
