Statement of Significance

The Mullewa Swimming Pool has considerable social and historic significance to the local community for the

The main entrance to the Mullewa Swimming Pool Complex is off Jose Street. via an amenity building which
leads into a large fenced and lawned area containing the main pool and toddler wading pool. There are shade
sails over the toddler pool and play equipment adjacent on the lawned area. The amenity building has a flat

painted as pat of a general refurbishment of the place.
