Overview
The Tamworth Regional Aquatic Centre and Northern Inland Centre of Sport and Health will be a fully accessible aquatics facility for current and future generations.
The facility will be located within the Tamworth Sports and Entertainment Precinct, next to the existing hockey fields, and will have two key components:
Tamworth Regional Aquatic Centre
The Centre will be a fully accessible aquatics facility, combined with contemporary elements for swimming excellence, social engagement, fitness, health and active recreation, for current and future generations. It will have the potential to host elite events at regional and state levels, as well as athlete development and training pathway programs.
Northern Inland Centre of Sport and Health
This facility will provide a sports hub with business accommodation, integrated learning, sport and health research along with medical and allied health services. This facility will provide elite performance sport infrastructure, incorporating a versatile multipurpose indoor sports training facility. It will provide the opportunity for the community, athletes, sporting teams and school groups to partake in educational programs and high-performance training, in a modern indoor setting - promoting innovation in sports science, sports medicine and technology.
The facility will contribute to economic sustainability, growth and liveability for the Tamworth region, through employment generation, tourism and increased visitation associated with major sporting events and an extraordinary recreational facility.
