Centenary Pool, a heritage-listed aquatic facility in Brisbane’s inner-north, is scheduled to close and be handed over to the Games authority within weeks. Multiple outlets report the handover will occur in less than two months, as part of preparations for a redevelopment of the site. The redevelopment is intended to prepare the venue for Olympic swimming, including hosting events as part of the broader games program. The reporting focuses on the timing and purpose of the transfer, indicating that the current pool will stop operating ahead of works to upgrade and reposition the facility for elite competition uses. While details of the construction scope and final design are not provided in the excerpts, the sources are aligned that the handover is an intermediate step in a longer transition from the existing heritage asset to a games-ready swimming venue. The articles also describe Centenary Pool as heritage-listed, framing the closure and transfer as part of managing the change to the site ahead of Olympic-level requirements.
