Strathbogie Shire Mayor Chris Raeburn said the upgrades had been guided by the Strathbogie Community Pools Strategy 2019-2029.
Cr Raeburn said the strategy urged ongoing support for shire swimming pools.
“There is a strong belief in the important social, health, fitness and wellbeing role that local swimming pools should continue to play into the future,” Cr Raeburn said.
“Each of the shire’s pools has its own character and is highly valued by its local community, which is why it’s important to continue to seek funding for essential upgrades.”
Facilities in Avenel, Euroa, Violet Town and Nagambie will upgraded after the allocation of Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications funding.
Strathbogie Shire Council has received a total of $1,243,110 in funding, which will be allocated to road sealing around Kirwans Bridge, a new pedestrian bridge at the Rockies in Euroa, and the aquatic upgrades.
