Re-build & Re-store our Historic Lord Forrest Olympic Pool

The issue

The historic significance alone is enough: the second olympic pool built in Australia in 1938, the only Olympic pool in Western Australia until Beatty Park in Perth 1962, the place & origin of a number of notable State, National & Olympic level swimmer & divers. Also because we live 400kms from the nearest beach and we have no outdoor swimming facility, we live in a desert & are required to swim indoors in a heated pool in summer!!
We want our hisorically significant places revitalised, they need to be appreciated & this battle has been going on for over 14yrs, WE WANT OUR POOL BACK!!
