Update from the first mortgagee

The first mortgagees for Big Splash wish to provide the following update.

Now that the new site fencing and general clean-up is complete, all effort is focused on making the main pool operational by 1 November 2026, in line with public commitments and Access Canberra's conditions.

To make it operational and to ensure that it is safe, temporary ticketing, change rooms and food service facilities will be installed. The slides and existing buildings will not be demolished, but a new internal fence will safely separate the main pool from these areas.

The first mortgagee will soon begin to market the site for sale as is — there are no redevelopment plans associated with the site or its sale.

Work to reopen the site by 1 November 2026 will continue in parallel with, and regardless of, the sale timetable, and the current lease obligations will apply to any purchaser.

All parties with an interest in the facility are encouraged to engage in the sale process. This website will be used to provide regular updates between now and 1 November 2026.
