A concept scheme was undertaken for Oxley Ocean Pool following significant community support for a new ocean pool in the area. The scheme formed part of a broader feasibility study which considered various potential sites for the pool. The scheme proposes an iconic community asset providing recreational infrastructure and activation to Oxley Beach. A key aspect of the design is conservation of the rock platform and enhancement of the unique headland, natural landscape and views. Hard and soft landscaped public domain is provided at pool level and designed to buffer swimmers from prevailing weather and maximise year round use. An accessible ramp extends down and into the pool and with zero grade entries for ease of access and safety. The project will shortly commence design development for planning approval.
