The Moss Vale aquatic centre has been given a deferred commencement approval  by the state government's  joint regional planning panel, providing it can supply more details on parking and landscaping

The approved plan includes two pools, an eight lane 25m pool, a smaller multi use pool and a zero splash depth area for children.

There will also be a 300 sq metre gymnasium

Commencement of work will be organised when the additional information is supplied to the panel with the project expected to be completed in 12 months

Councillor Larry Whipper says the additional information requested will be in the hands of the panel by the end of the week, and he is hopeful the project will eventually come in under budget estimates
