The planned improvements include the following:
1. New 12 metre high tower with 3 slides ( 2 straight fast slides and 1 slow curved slide).
2. New children's splash ground with 11 water elements
3. Upgrading of all existing pools including a new water filtration system, & plant rooms
4. New disabilty ramp into the 50m pool
5. Refurbishment of changerooms
6. New entry/kiosk/admin & function rooms.

The project is currently on track to enable the summer pool season to commence in November 2010.

Thanks for these pics, scooter. I'm very interested in this development personally, because I want to join a pool (lose the gut, am not a big fan of gyms) and Waterworld is the closest. These upgrades look like they'll seal the deal when it comes to what pool I will go to regularly. I'll use Payneham Pool's facilities in the meantime...

My photos were taken through the fence! Please ask the workers first if you want to go in for some pics.
