Canberra Times | Phillip pool report raises oversight questions | The Canberra Times

If the developer had to buy the land and pay for an Olympic-size outdoor pool, it’s possible the sale wouldn’t have gone through. The 25-metre indoor pool will maximize the number of units that can be built on the site. The Save Phillip Pool Community group, which has collected more than 5,500 signatures, says the report makes clear that the pool has been seen by planners as an obstacle to development since at least 2021.
