Re: Formal Request for the Development of a New Aquatic & Community Precinct – 307 Boston Street, Moree
Dear Mayor and Councillors,
I am writing to formally request that the Moree Plains Shire Council prioritise and commit to the development of a new aquatic and community precinct at 307 Boston Street, Moree.
This submission is supported by a community petition, which highlights a clear and urgent demand for modern aquatic infrastructure.
Moree has long been underserved in terms of public recreational facilities, and this has had a direct impact on the health, wellbeing, and opportunities available to our community, particularly our youth.
Why this development is essential
A new aquatic and community precinct at 307 Boston Street will provide:
Modern, safe and accessible aquatic facilities
A competition-standard pool (or equivalent)
Learner and recreational pools
Disabled access and inclusive design
Covered shade, seating, and improved safety infrastructure
A community hub for all residents
School programs, swimming lessons, and youth engagement
Health and fitness initiatives
Local sporting club training and events
Community gatherings and cultural events
Economic and social benefits and
Job creation and training opportunities
Increased tourism and visitor spend
Improved quality of life for residents
Reduced anti-social behaviour by providing safe activities for youth
Community Support & Mandate
The petition supporting this proposal has received significant community backing.
The overwhelming response demonstrates that the community is ready to support the project and wants
Council to take immediate action.
I urge Council to:
Prioritise this project in the next council budget
Seek state and federal funding
Engage professional planning and engineering to ensure a feasible timeline
Provide transparent updates to the community throughout the process
This project is not merely an upgrade.
It is a strategic investment in the future of Moree.
I respectfully request that the Council formally acknowledge this submission and provide a written response outlining the Council’s intended next steps, timelines, and funding strategy.
The people of Moree deserve a world-class aquatic and community precinct, and the time to act is now.
Yours sincerely,
Moree Plains Shire Council

Why is this important?
Why is this important?
Because Moree deserves modern, safe, and accessible community infrastructure.
The current facilities are outdated, under-resourced, and do not meet the needs of a growing town.
A new aquatic and community precinct at 307 Boston Street is not just a pool it is a health, safety, education, and economic investment for the whole region.
Why should others join this campaign?
1. It’s about community health & wellbeing
Swimming is a life skill.
A modern aquatic facility will support school programs, swim lessons, and public health initiatives.
It creates a safe space for families, seniors, and youth to exercise and stay active.
2. It reduces youth crime and anti-social behaviour
“When young people have nothing to do, they find something to do.”
A community pool provides structured activities, sport programs, and supervised spaces, which directly reduces the risk of youth crime and boredom-driven behaviour.
3. It creates jobs and boosts the local economy
Construction jobs during development
Ongoing employment for lifeguards, administration, and maintenance
Tourism opportunities (regional swim meets, events, and training camps)
Increased spending at local businesses
4. It strengthens community pride
A world-class aquatic centre is a statement that Moree is a growing, thriving community, not a town that accepts second-best.
5. It’s a long-term investment, not a cost
A modern facility with solar energy, water recycling, and sustainable design will reduce long-term operational costs and protect the town’s future.
Join us because this is bigger than one person.
When a community unites behind a single goal, change becomes inevitable.
This petition is not about politics — it’s about the future of Moree.
If you agree, sign the petition and share it.
Together, we can make this happen
