HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE YARRA STRATEGIC PLAN
The Draft Yarra Strategic Plan is missing something important – the Yarra Pool. We need your help to ensure the Yarra Pool is part of the Government’s 10-year vision for the river. HAVE YOUR SAY by 29 March by visiting the Engage Victoria website.
Question 12 in the survey asks for your ideas – we need you to send a message to Melbourne Water that the Yarra Pool must be included in the Strategic Plan, as the ideal catalyst project to create a healthy swimmable Yarra, provide respite for a growing population as the effects of climate change increase, and celebrate the cultural and environmental heritage of our river. This is a once-in-a-decade chance to make the Yarra Pool a reality.

Yarra Pools welcomes new President Felicity Watson
We’re excited to announce the election of Felicity Watson as President of Yarra Swim Co, with co-founder Mitra Anderson-Oliver stepping into the role of Vice President.
After three years, co-founder Michael O’Neil has stepped down as President, having overseen the development of a business case and user needs analysis, as well as the launch of the Yarra Pools proposal at Enterprize Park, developed in partnership with WOWOWA.
Felicity brings a wealth of experience in planning and heritage advocacy to the Yarra Pools team, having recently led the National Trust of Australia (Victoria)’s successful campaign to fight inappropriate development in Federation Square.
A childhood spent swimming and kayaking in the Clarence and Nymboida rivers, in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, has given Felicity a lifelong passion for the cultural and ecological role of rivers in healthy and connected communities. She looks forward to working with Traditional Owners and the Melbourne community to achieve a swimmable Yarra River Birrarung.
