Aquatic centre must not be collateral damage in new stadium push, say pool supporters

Key points

• Pool supporters say a proposed new stadium at Regatta Place should not overshadow plans for the Canberra Aquatic Centre in Commonwealth Park. The stadium proposal comes from a consortium led by Canberra Airport.
• Friends of Canberra Olympic Pool president Terry Slevin says the aquatic centre already has land and $138 million allocated. He says whether the two facilities can share the site is a technical question for Infrastructure Canberra.
• The Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn says no decision has been made to sell Archbishop's House.
