NEARLY FINISHED! In the late 90's, ADS worked with the local community
to save a moderne swimming pool in Maryborough in central Victoria. The
pool was subsequently added to the State Heritage Register, and money
was granted to restore the complex. Work is nearly complete.

A few years ago, ADS and Maryborough residents, led by Lauris Weir, fought
a major battle to preserve Victoria's best Art Deco swimming pool. The
subsequent listing by Heritage Victoria resulted in funds being made available
to the local council for restoration works, which have commenced and are
being monitored closely by our 'eyes and ears' in Maryborough, the indefatigable
Lauris.
