Since the construction of the swimming pool back in 2015, jointly funded through proceeds raised by the Nabiac Second Chance Op Shop, MidCoast Council and the State and Federal governments, the recreational precinct has grown into one of the best in the region.

And, the community has continued to work hard to raise funds for further improvements to the area in the years since, MidCoast Council community spaces, recreation and trades manager, Dan Aldridge said.

In the past two years the op show has contributed funds towards further improvements within the precinct, which encompasses the Nabiac Oval, tennis courts, skatepark and Memorial Park.

"We're really grateful for the partnership with the driven and passionate members of the Nabiac community and we've been able to support them in their constant fundraising via the op shop and work around their community," Mr Aldridge said.

"They really take the initiative to see improvements around their town and we love being able to help where we can."

Recent partnerships with the op shop and council have included a new play park, which now boasts modern, safer facilities and a bike/scooter track near the playground which has a soft fall surface.

The pool has become a hugely important part of the community and continues to attract tourists and visitors to the town, particularly in the warmer months, Mr Aldridge said.

The community recognised the need for solar heating and blankets to enable the pool to stay open and usable during the cooler months and this has also been fully funded by the op shop, along with on-site security cameras, while an upgrade to the pool's pump was purchased with the assistance of council, he said.

Further improvements around the precinct include the barbecue and picnic hut behind the new play park, funded jointly by council, the op shop and a grant from the State government, new and improved information and signage at the Memorial Park fully funded by the op shop, with council assisting in the removal of the old fence along the Clarkson Street boundary and replacing it with a line of bollards.

Nabiac Public School also joined in the efforts, planting trees around the precinct with the assistance from the women of the Nabiac Village Futures Group.

"We'd love to see other communities across the region take the initiative like Nabiac to actively improve their towns and villages and we are always more than happy to support these efforts," Mr Aldridge said.

"Improvements at Nabiac are a credit to the hard work of the people who live there, particularly the volunteers who staff the community op shop, and they really should be congratulated."
