A SHORTLIST of names for the planned Mordialloc pool has been released. The $79.2 million aquatic centre will be built near Jack Grut Reserve in Mordialloc. The federal government has committed $20 million to the project, and Kingston ratepayers are expected to cover the rest of the cost.

Last week, Kingston Council published five potential names for the new pool and asked for community feedback. The proposed names for the new pool are the Baam Aquatic Centre, Mordi Baam Aquatic Centre, Mordi Pools, Mordi Aquatics, and Mordi Aquatic Centre.

Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns said “this is the largest infrastructure project in our city’s history and represents a major investment in the long-term health, wellbeing, and aquatic education of our community and we really want people to leave their own mark on it.”

“We’ve had awesome buy-in from the community through all our consultation stages up until now and I’d love to see thousands of people from all ages have their vote and help us settle on a name,” she said.

The new aquatic centre will replace the Don Tatnell Leisure Centre in Parkdale, which was knocked down due to structural issues. The Mordialloc site for the new pool cost Kingston Council $14.6 million.
