flag Saltwater is filling Sydney's North Sydney Olympic Pool ahead of its delayed reopening in 2026.

flag Water is being pumped into the North Sydney Olympic Pool, a key step in its redevelopment after closing in 2021. flag About 1.921 million litres of saltwater from Sydney Harbour are filling the 50-metre outdoor pool, with completion expected in five to six days. flag The project, initially estimated at $58 million and slated to reopen in 2022, has faced major delays and cost overruns. flag Construction is largely complete, but the site won’t be handed over to North Sydney Council until mid-February 2026, with public opening likely months later. flag The upgraded facility will include new indoor pools, a gym, Pilates rooms, a gelato bar, and a 970-seat grandstand. flag Council officials are preparing for operations and reviewing a fee structure, while considering rate increases of up to 54% over three years due to rising costs. flag Mayor Zoe Baker stressed the need for safety and functionality at opening, acknowledging public frustration.
