Pool Rule Change Under Scrutiny

A major political scandal unfolds in Canberra as opposition leader Mark Parton takes action over a controversial planning rule change that removed a 50-meter pool requirement at the Phillip Swimming and Ice Skating Centre—just before developer Geocon bought the land. Minister Yvette Berry admits public servants misled the public by claiming a study proved a 25-meter pool was sufficient, though no such study existed. Despite no evidence of prior government-Geocon meetings, the government’s handling of the change is now under investigation by the ACT Integrity Commission, as Geocon moves forward with their approved 25-meter pool phase of a larger $700-million development.
